Dezember bis 31. Januar) veröffentlicht wurden. Einige davon wurden von chinesischen Nachrichtenmedien und lokalen chinesischen Regierungen veröffentlicht Hinweise auf die mögliche Absicht der chinesischen Regierung, die Epidemie zum Schweigen zu bringen und zu vertuschen. Viele Artikel wurden später aus dem Internet gelöscht, aber eine Gruppe von Interessierten hat sie auf GitHub gespeichert. Sie organisieren die Archive in einer Zeitleiste mit dem Zweck, "zu bewahren". Geschichte, damit die Wahrheit im Laufe der Zeit nicht verborgen oder vergessen wird. Die ursprüngliche Zeitleiste ist auf Chinesisch. Dies ist eine englische Übersetzung, damit westliche Leser auch die Wahrheit hinter dem Covid-19-Ausbruch erfahren können. Dies ist ein übersetztes Dokument. Das Originaldokument ist in (Chinesisch): https://web.archive.org/web/20200419085730/https://github.com/Pratitya /COVID-19-timeline/blob/master/TIMELINE.md 1. Dezember 2019 · Der erste Einwohner von Wuhan hatte Symptome einer ungeklärten Lungenentzündung (nach der Diagnose war es zu diesem Zeitpunkt eine unbekannte Lungenentzündung mit unbekannter Ursache und kein Arzt gefunden und gemeldet). Laut Wu Wenxuan, Direktor der Intensivstation (ICU) des Jinyintan Krankenhauses, war der Patient ein Mann in den 70ern mit einem leichten Hirninfarkt und Alzheimer. Nachdem er krank wurde, wurde er in ein anderes Krankenhaus in Wuhan eingeliefert, aber als sich sein Zustand verschlechterte, wurde er am 29. Dezember in das Jinyintan-Krankenhaus verlegt. Der alte Mann lebte vier oder fünf Haltestellen (Bushaltestelle) vom Fischmarkt entfernt, weil er war zu Hause krank, ging im Grunde nicht aus und ging nicht zum südchinesischen Fischmarkt. Der Ausbruch der Krankheit am 1. Dezember basierte auf epidemiologischen Untersuchungen, die Familienerinnerungen kombinierten. Sehen Chaolin Huang et al.

Dezember 2019 · Die Hubei CDC hielt vom 4. bis 7. Dezember den Schulungskurs 2019 zur Pflege und Geoanalyse von Direktmeldecodes in der Provinz unter Beteiligung der Abteilungsleiter, die für die Meldung und das Management von Ausbrüchen von Infektionskrankheiten verantwortlich sind, in 17 Städten und Landkreisen der Provinz ab und das für die Wartung der Standardcodierung verantwortliche Geschäftspersonal. Das Treffen wurde von Huang Shuqiong, Direktor der Abteilung für Krankheitsüberwachung des Informationsinstituts, geleitet und an der Eröffnungszeremonie nahmen Huang Xibao, Vizepräsident der CDC der Provinz, Li Mingyan, Direktor des Informationsinstituts, und Vizedirektor Liu Kehao teil. Präsident Huang brachte drei Standpunkte vor: Erstens, um die Errungenschaften zu ermitteln, sorgfältig zusammenzufassen, um die umfassende Qualität der Informationen über Infektionskrankheiten zu gewährleisten, erste gute Ergebnisse im Land. Zweitens, großen Wert auf klare Vorgaben zu legen, um sicherzustellen, dass die jährlichen Code-Pflegearbeiten termingerecht in Qualität und Quantität abgeschlossen werden. Drittens, die Gelegenheit zu ergreifen und aktiv Durchbrüche zu erzielen, um sicherzustellen, dass Big Data bei der Krankheitsüberwachung eine Rolle bei der Prävention und Kontrolle von Krankheiten spielt. 8. Dezember 2019 · 11. Januar: Die Gesundheits- und Wellnesskommission von Wuhan teilte mit, dass Patienten beim frühesten Ausbruch der Krankheit Symptome entwickelten. Nach Angaben der medizinischen Behandlungseinheit des Coronavirus-Präventions- und Kontrollkommandos der Stadt Wuhan wurde der Patient mit dem Nachnamen Chen später vom Krankenhaus behandelt und aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen. Der Patient, der in einem Stadtteil von Wuchang lebt, bestreitet den Besuch des südchinesischen Fischmarktes.

Die Infusion in der kleinen Klinik konnte zunächst nicht vom Fieber befreit werden, am 16. Dezember ging er, nachdem die Behandlung des Zustands noch nicht gebessert war, zur medizinischen Behandlung ins Wuhan Yufu Hospital und überführte ihn in das Wuhan Red Cross Hospital für stationäre Behandlung. Nach sieben Tagen Krankenhausaufenthalt verbesserte sich sein Zustand nicht und er wurde am 24. Dezember in das Tongji Krankenhaus verlegt.

  • Disputa Subterrânea
    NOTAS 1 Raízes tingidas de pés de pimentão plantados próximos uns Disputa subterrânea aos outros: ramificação concentrada perto Uma equipe de pesquisadores dos Estados Unidos, da Espanha e do Brasil conseguiu explicar do caule o comportamento geral do crescimento das raízes das plantas. Alguns experimentos sugeriam que a concorrência por água e nutrientes do solo levava plantas vizinhas a promoverem um maior crescimento de suas raízes. Outros indicavam que as plantas localizadas próximas umas às outras ge- ravam raízes que ocupavam menos espaço. Um novo modelo teórico, desenvolvido com auxílio do físi- co Ricardo Martínez-García, do Instituto Sul-americano para Pesquisa Fundamental (ICTP-SAIFR) e do Instituto de Física Teórica da Universidade Estadual Paulista (IFT-Unesp), leva em conta ambas observações. O modelo prevê que as raízes se espalham menos na presença de vizinhas, ao mesmo tempo que compensam a perda de território aumentando sua ramificação próxima do próprio caule. A previsão foi confirmada em um experimento com uma variedade de pimentão cultivada em estufa por 11 meses, mapeando a distribuição das raízes das plantas no solo (Science, 4 de dezembro). Os pesquisadores esperam que essa constatação possa orientar melhorias na agricultura, permitindo a otimização do plantio, e levar ao aprimoramento dos modelos de previsão de mudanças no clima, me- lhorando a estimativa de quanto carbono as plantas armazenam em suas raízes. 12 | JANEIRO DE 2021 2 A maior e mais antiga cobra-cega Paleontólogos do campus de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (USP) identificaram a maior e mais antiga cobra-cega, uma forma de serpente de hábitos subterrâneos e olhos reduzidos.

  • How the Health Rumor Misleads People's Perception in A
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article How the Health Rumor Misleads People’s Perception in a Public Health Emergency: Lessons from a Purchase Craze during the COVID-19 Outbreak in China Liwei Zhang 1, Kelin Chen 2 , He Jiang 3 and Ji Zhao 4,* 1 School of Public Administration, Jilin University, Changchun 130012, China; [email protected] 2 Institute of Urban Governance, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China; [email protected] 3 Department of Social Psychology, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China; [email protected] 4 School of International and Public Affairs, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200030, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-186-8676-2106 Received: 21 August 2020; Accepted: 29 September 2020; Published: 2 October 2020 Abstract: Health rumors often mislead people and cause adverse health behaviors. Especially during a public health emergency, health rumors may result in severe consequences for people’s health and risk governance. Insight into how these rumors form and harm people’s health behavior is critical for assisting people in establishing scientific health cognition and to enhance public health emergency responses. Using the case study with interview data of a salient purchase craze led by a health rumor during the COVID-19 outbreak in China, this article aimed to illustrate the process of how a piece of information becomes a health rumor. Furthermore, we identify factors that cause people to believe rumors and conduct behavior that leads to a purchase craze. Results show that a public misunderstanding of the unique psychology of uncertainty, cultural and social cognition, and conformity behavior jointly informs people’s beliefs in rumors and further causes purchase craze behavior.

Email: [email protected] NSP5 can inhibit interferon (IFN) signalling and NSP16 prevents MAD5 recognition, depressing the innate immunity. Dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages are the first cell lineage against viruses' infections. The IFN type I is the danger signal for the human body during this clinical setting. Protective immune responses to viral infec- tion are initiated by innate immune sensors that survey extracellular and intracellular space for foreign nucleic acids. In Covid-19 the pathogenesis is not yet fully under- stood, but viral and host factors seem to play a key role. Important points in severe Covid-19 are characterized by an upregulated innate immune response, hypercoagulopathy state, pulmonary tissue damage, neurological and/or gastrointes- tinal tract involvement, and fatal outcome in severe cases of macrophage activation syndrome, which produce a ‘cytokine storm’.

When this work was conducted, only 6 months had passed since the pandemic began, and only 4 months since the first events were recognized outside of China. It was too early to draw firm conclusions about the effectiveness of measures in each of the selected countries; however, the authors present some efforts to identify and classify response and containment measures, country-by-country, for future comparison and analysis. There is a significant variety of policy tools and response measures employed in different countries, and while it is still hard to directly compare the different approaches based on their efficacy, it will definitely provide many inputs for the future data analysis efforts.

Amrita Parle, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Delhi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research, M.B Road, Pushp Vihar, New Delhi, India. ABSTRACT Existence of human race has come into trouble due to the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) which is highly contagious viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus initially emerged in Wuhan, China and spread across the globe. Genomic analysis disclosed that SARS-CoV-2 is phylogenetically related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-like (SARS-like) bat viruses, therefore bats could be the possible primary reservoir. Though point of origin and path of transmission is not clearly known, human to human transmission is confirmed through analysis. Due to spread of the disease in about 215 countries around the world, WHO has declared COVID-19 as public health emergency of international concern. There is no clinically approved drug or vaccine available for COVID-19 till date. Scientists are in search of effective and quick cure. Various clinical trials of different antiviral drugs, either alone or in combination with antibiotics, are being conducted worldwide. As

  • COVID-19 and China: a Chronology of Events (December 2019-January 2020)
    COVID-19 and China: A Chronology of Events (December 2019-January 2020) Updated May 13, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46354 SUMMARY R46354 COVID-19 and China: A Chronology of Events May 13, 2020 (December 2019-January 2020) Susan V. Lawrence In Congress, multiple bills and resolutions have been introduced related to China’s Specialist in Asian Affairs handling of a novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, that expanded to become the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. This report provides a timeline of key developments in the early weeks of the pandemic, based on available public reporting. It also considers issues raised by the timeline, including the timeliness of China’s information sharing with the World Health Organization (WHO), gaps in early information China shared with the world, and episodes in which Chinese authorities sought to discipline those who publicly shared information about aspects of the epidemic. Prior to January 20, 2020—the day Chinese authorities acknowledged person-to-person transmission of the novel coronavirus—the public record provides little indication that China’s top leaders saw containment of the epidemic as a high priority. Thereafter, however, Chinese authorities appear to have taken aggressive measures to contain the virus. The Appendix includes a concise version of the timeline. A condensed version is below: Late December: Hospitals in Wuhan, China, identify cases of pneumonia of unknown origin. December 30: The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission issues “urgent notices” to city hospitals about cases of atypical pneumonia linked to the city’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. The notices leak online.
