Scientists Now Afraid That Coronavirus May Become Seasonal

Ideally, we would have a vaccine for the next seasonal outbreak, which would be capable of reducing the severity and spread of SARS-CoV-2. This will only work, though, if the virus doesn’t start mutating rapidly, and the strains prominent the next season will not be too different.

What Are the Long Term Health Consequences of COVID-19?

Although scientists still don’t know much about these residual effects of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections, it’s essential to be aware of the things we do know. Below, we examine the possible long term health effects of COVID-19 and the populations most susceptible to them.

Does a Blood Type Cause More COVID-19 Hospitalizations?

The study examined a total of 2,173 people hospitalized due to a SARS-CoV-2 infection in Wuhan and Shenzhen, focusing on the blood type distribution of the patients. The researchers then compared the data with the distribution of blood types in Wuhan in the general population.

This is why a genetic study of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 published in the Lancet Journal , concludes "All individuals, whether previously diagnosed with COVID-19 or not, should take identical precautions to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2". What does all of this mean for you?

This Is What’s Currently Known About COVID-19 Immunity

However, trying to achieve herd immunity for SARS-CoV-2 is too risky and might not even prove sustainable.

The Johnson & Johnson Vaccine’s Important Advantage

To create this vaccine, the team took a harmless adenovirus – the viral vector – and replaced a small piece of its genetic instructions with coronavirus genes for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. When injected into a person’s arm, it enters the cells.
