A couple of words about COVID-19

The fact is that we are doing what we are doing. We cannot know what happens if we have done something another way. And that is the only sure thing. There is no way to predict what kind of case is the new pandemic. And another fact is that we can say one thing about this pandemic. The fact is that we should update our orders and laws to answer the challenges that this kind of thing will bring somewhere in the future. 

The regulations that COVID-19 causes will remove soon. But the thing is that COVID-19 gave a lesson. And we must analyze the data that is collected from this situation. The COVID-19 gave us the lesson that even we want we are not masters of nature. We tried to remove that virus and we must say that we had 80% success. But in the case of epidemics only one "red-actor" is enough. Only one person who is infected can start the epidemics. And that makes epidemics very hard to predict. 

So when the data is analyzed. We must try to figure what was a success. What went wrong. And what we should improve for the next pandemics. The strategy could be to deny that viruses can cross the border. But in this case, that virus can cross the border.  

We must have some kind of strategy for that case. The vaccines are preventing. The vaccine requires the virus that is used to make it. And laboratories cannot produce a vaccine against every virus on Earth. Another thing is that the virus has a very high ability to transform its DNA. That means that the next pandemic virus is not possible even exists yet. 

If the antiviral medicals cannot have an effect. There is only one method for people who are already infected. That method is so-called controlled epidemics. That thing should guarantee that there is enough nursery capacity for infected people. 

Maybe the next virus is uprising and are we wiser? The fact is that pandemics might turn more common when people are traveling to exotic countries. Things like artificial intelligence can try to predict what kind of virus or threat is coming next. And we can comfort ourselves that most of the viruses that are transferring between individuals through the air are coronavirus. 

The two-layer membrane and complicated structure are making the spread of the virus slower than deadlier filovirus. The filovirus is not transferring so long-distance as coronavirus. The problem is that the DNA or RNA of the coronavirus is harder to isolate than the single-layer virus. And that makes it harder to detect the new virus population. 

And the layer antigens of the virus can be the same in the outer core with COVID-19. But the inner core of the virus has different antigens. And this means that vaccine creation is difficult against those viruses. The fact is that nobody knows what the next pandemic virus looks like. 

The AI can detect new viruses or predict the transformation of the DNA by calculating the possibilities of how the base pairs of the DNA can order. So that AI can calculate the permutation of the DNA base pairs. But the problem is that the virus DNA can have different lengths and number of base pairs. The number of base pairs can change when the virus goes through the species. And even the best AI is helpless if it doesn't have the DNA for analysis. 

The virus samples must collect systematically that the dangerous virus mutations can detect. Or the better thing would be that the transformation of the viruses can detect soon as possible. And that helps to detect the viruses that can cause epidemics. 

In the case of fast-spreading pandemics. Is very important to start vaccine production. But the effect of the vaccine must confirm and it should be strong enough. If the immune reaction is too weak that can turn the situation worse. There is the possibility that too weak an immune reaction would breed the virus variants that are more resistant than the original virus. 

The journalistic attitude to those viruses is interesting. The thing is that the stories where people are turning zombies are not very nice to read. And the worst thing in the case of pandemics is the panic. When people are starting to pack in the same space they are not able to keep safe distances. 

If there are vaccines people should take them or they mean nothing. The vaccines are like lifevests. They are effective only when people are taking them. If people do not take vaccines,  well the vaccine in the freezer does not have an effect. If there are vaccines and people don't want to use them. There is nothing that researchers can do. 

That means the virus is infecting more people than otherwise. The last thing is that there is no power of limits and orders. If people are not following orders they mean nothing. And that is the thing that we must realize when we are defending ourselves against pandemics. 

We can make nice models and simulations. But if we cannot turn them into practice those exercises and models mean nothing. Following those orders is also important. The plans might be good. But if the practice fails that means that the operation fails.

Could the future covid variants cheat our immune system?

That's a good question. The fact is that new viruses are forming all the time. That means we cannot even know what kind of virus causes the next pandemic virus. The virus that causes the next international epidemics is most probably coronavirus. 

The reason for that is that coronaviruses are the most common virus-type that travels through the air. The structure of that virus type makes it very resistant to chemicals that can destroy its genomes. The thing that we must realize is that the next pandemical virus might be advancing in some jungle. And there are lots of people, who cannot go to tests and who don't even care about their health. 

If there is no ability to make the tests of infected people there can be many viruses in some areas. And the thing that makes the respiratory tract infections very hard to separate. The first symptoms of those virus infections are always similar. But lethal infection starts to separate from the "harmless infections" soon. 

The problematic thing is there are people. Whose immune defense is passive or it cannot fight against viruses and bacteria. For those people who have AIDS or some other reason, their immune system is not working all kinds of infections are dangerous. 

The thing that activates the immune system is the antigens of the virus. If the researchers can predict the form of those antigens they could make vaccines before the epidemics start. But the problem is that there are maybe thousands. Or even millions of viruses and their variants all around the Earth. And that makes the creation of the vaccines against every each of them impossible. When a virus will infect the new cell line or cell group it connects some parts of the genomes of those cells in its DNA or RNA.

 And this means the transformation of the viruses is incredible. The transformation means. Sooner or later, the vaccines lose their power because the surface antigens of the virus are chanced. And that means the immune system cannot detect those new variants of the original viruses. And that means the creation of the new vaccines must begin. 

What caused this pandemic? The fact is that the viruses are sometimes escaping and infect people during normal vaccine research. During the testing, there is always possible that the living viruses are slipping into the test animal or infect personnel who are working in the laboratory. The origin of the COVID-19 remains unknown. 

The key question is when those animals that transmit viruses to people got the virus? Are they brought from Africa? Or if they are local what transferred those viruses to the animals that transfer them to humans?

Maybe some Chinese serviceman accidentally brought it from Africa. Or maybe somebody sold infected animals in the marketplace accidentally. I don't know what kind of inspections are made on those animals. And if somebody made a mistake in the secretive laboratory in China. That person would not confess that thing. 

Maybe that virus came to China with tourists or some Africans have sold the animals that infected people from Africa outside the customs. In that case, there was no veterinarian's inspection when somebody brought those infected animals to the country or the marketplace. Nobody knows where those animals got that virus. And that information would help to find out the origin of that pandemic.

The zombie-virus, and how it would act

The zombie-virus, and how it would act

In the real-life, the rabies virus is the thing, what causes that the person or animal is turning to rage beast. The virus would infect the nervous system, and cause death, but before that, the behavior of the victim is changing radically.  We all have seen zombie movies, where people have been infected with some kind of rabies virus, and then they would be changed to flesh-eating beasts. The thing is that the virus would not anything worse than normal rabies if it would infect the victim by biting, and in the real situation, the distance to the infected patient would be enough in those cases.

But how this virus would transform people into the raging beast? The answer is that it would fill the nervous system with plaque, which isolates the neurons from each other. And when we are thinking about the virus, it would make that plaque by using the fishy, what would transfer from the infected tissues to the nervous system, or it can make that plaque by using the tissue, what will grow in the nervous channel, and cause the similar symptoms with Alzheimer disease.

The plaque, which fills the holes between the neurons causes the anger, and that is the reason, why people who use drugs are sometimes very aggressive. And why plaque would cause anger, is that the nervous system would need more neurotransmitters and higher voltage for getting the message through the plaque, and that thing is really interesting. 

The thing is that those kinds of viruses could be very infectious, but there is one aspect in those zombie movies, which can transfer to real life. The thing is that those zombies would not be dangerous if they don't bite other persons, and the thing is that this kind of virus would make them Alzheimer patients, what cannot even walk on the streets. When we are thinking about the rabies virus, which can infect also humans if they are biting by the infected animals.

During history, rabies has been a very frightening disease. In the old times before the knowledge of this kind of diseases has been in the level, that people would know that the reason for those symptoms like horrifying rage, and other things like turning to beast has caused some kind of curse. And that caused the wich hunting in the areas, where those zombies or rabies patients have been seen.

When researchers have found the reason, why the rabies virus has been changed the behavior of the people, that disease has turned to the normal infection. But still, today rabies is the very frightened and mystified disease, which is very lethal, if the person is not vaccinated against that disease.
