Global Governments , Bracing for Future Waves , of COVID Variants.
Fox reports that governments and populations alike are bracing as the third winter of the coronavirus pandemic looms for the northern hemisphere.
Chris Murray, head of the Institute of Health Metrics
and Evaluation (IHME), warns that there could be up to
a million new infections a day in the United States alone. .
With nearly no masking or social distancing restrictions in place, the United Kingdom and Europe predicts a series of COVID waves.
Experts say that while cases may surge again in
the coming season, deaths and hospitalizations
are unlikely to rise as sharply.
The people who are at greatest risk are those who have never seen the virus, and there's almost nobody left, Chris Murray, head of the Institute of Health
Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), via Fox.
According to Fox, these predictions raise new questions regarding when the COVID pandemic will finally end and enter a state of endemic disease.
Many experts predicted that transition would
occur early in 2022, however the emergence
of the omicron variant derailed those forecasts.
Anyone who says they can predict
the future of this pandemic is
either overconfident or lying, David Dowdy, Infectious disease epidemiologist
at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The World Health Organization warns that each
country will need to approach new waves
of COVID with all the means at their disposal.
This includes everything from vaccinations
to interventions, such as social distancing
or masking protocols and broad testing.

Are BA.5 Patients More Likely , To Lose Sense of Smell?.
NBC News reports doctors in the United States
say that with the rise of the BA.5 subvariant, .
peculiar symptoms of coronavirus
may be making a comeback.
Most noticeably, health care providers say many patients once again report a loss of smell.
What I am seeing
in my corner of the world is a spike. , Valentina Parma, psychologist, Monell Chemical Senses Center of Philadelphia, via NBC News.
As the coronavirus pandemic lingers on, new variants and subvariants have appeared less likely to cause a loss of smell than previous ones.
One study found that the Alpha variant, the first variant which caused concern among health care providers.
was 50% less likely to impair smell than
the original strain of coronavirus.
In comparison, the Delta variant only
caused about 44% of patients to
lose their sense of smell.
During the first Omicron wave, only 17%
of patients reported a loss of smell.
During the first Omicron wave, only 17%
of patients reported a loss of smell.
Still early in the wave of the BA.5 subvariant, experts say evidence of loss of smell is based
on personal accounts rather than facts.
I have talked to people overall about losing their taste and smell lately and it seems that there is an uptick, but the data isn’t there yet. , Dr. Lora Bankova, allergist and immunologist Brigham, Women's Hospital of Boston, via NBC News

How the BA.5 Subvariant , Could Affect the US.
BA.5, a subvariant of Omicron, is now the
most dominant strain of COVID in the U.S.
Data shows that it is the most transmissible variant of the coronavirus to date, and it can even infect those who have recently recovered from illness.
I think there’s an underappreciation of what it’s going to do to the country, and it already is exerting its effect, Eric Topol, Professor of Molecular Medicine at Scripps Research, via 'The New York Times'.
Federal data and data from the CDC shows that infections are up in the U.S.
In tandem with the BA.4 subvariant, the BA.5 subvariant has caused an increase in hospitalizations.
Neither subvariant seems to be a more severe version of the coronavirus.
Experts say that while prior immunity as a result of previous infection and vaccination appears to help prevent severe illness, .
the level of protection
seems to be less robust.
It’s not anything like what we would hope, Eric Topol, Professor of Molecular Medicine at Scripps Research, via 'The New York Times'.
In other countries with high vaccination rates, the BA.5 variant has led to a spike in hospitalizations.
Countries that have recently experienced a wave during the spring are also reporting increased infections.
While experts say it's too early to predict what these new subvariants will mean for the U.S..
there is wide
agreement that the BA.5
wave is already in effect.
There’s a wave afoot, there’s no question about it. My concern is the length of it, Eric Topol, Professor of Molecular Medicine at Scripps Research, via 'The New York Times'

With the increasing threat of monkeypox raising the urgent need for a fresh approach, the Centre has summoned a meeting of top health experts on Thursday. The.. IndiaTimes
On Wednesday, addressing the group currently most affected by Monkeypox, that is, men who have s-ex with men, the World Health Organization has asked to limit their S-exual partners.

Over 1,000 Monkeypox Cases , Confirmed in New York City.
'The Guardian' reports that on July 25,
health officials said New York hit
1,040 confirmed monkeypox cases. .
That reportedly accounts for nearly a quarter of all the documented cases in America. .
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. currently has the
most confirmed monkeypox cases in the world. .
The agency says that as of July 25, there have been 3,846 U.S. cases and 18,095 cases around the world. .
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the increase in cases a
public health emergency on July 23. .
A study published July 21 in the 'New England Journal of Medicine' found that 95% of cases are transmitted among men who have sex with men.
But CNBC reports that according to the WHO,
there is no guarantee that the disease will remain
confined to gay and bisexual communities. .
Dr. Catherine Smallwood, senior emergency officer at the WHO, said it's not uncommon for a virus outbreak to start in a particular place before spreading to the general population.

The real challenge with testing is that it involves swabbing lesions, which must be present for the test to assess whether the virus is also present, Mary Bassett, New York state health commissioner, via statement.
Without lesions, testing is not currently possible. And we will continue working to make sure providers know when and how to test for monkeypox, Mary Bassett, New York state health commissioner, via statement

Monkeypox Could Spread , Beyond Specific Communities, , WHO Warns.
The World Health Organization (WHO) issued the warning on July 25.
It comes as cases of monkeypox continue to increase rapidly in several parts of the world.
According to Dr. Catherine Smallwood of the WHO, the cases have mostly affected
men who have sex with other men.
At the moment, cases continue to be reported among men who have sex with men for the most part, but we should not expect that to remain as such, Dr. Catherine Smallwood, WHO Emergency Officer, via CNBCC.
This really might be the canary in the mine that’s alerting to us a new disease threat that could spread to other groups, Dr. Catherine Smallwood, WHO Emergency Officer, via CNBCC.
The WHO recently classified the global monkeypox outbreak as a "public health emergency of international concern.".
We have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly, through new modes of transmission, about which we understand too little, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director General, via CNBCC.
For all of these reasons, I have decided that the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director General, via CNBCC.
Dr. Smallwood reiterated that as the virus spreads, so too does its impact on the public.
If it does spread to other groups — particularly to people who are vulnerable to severe monkeypox disease [...] — , Dr. Catherine Smallwood, WHO Emergency Officer, via CNBCC.
... then we might see increased public health impact, Dr. Catherine Smallwood, WHO Emergency Officer, via CNBCC.
She also stated that there currently is not enough data about vaccines, and that such data is crucial.
We don’t have full information on how effective and how efficacious these vaccines are against monkeypox, Dr. Catherine Smallwood, WHO Emergency Officer, via CNBCC.
We need to be able to be confident that the countermeasures that are available and potentially accessible are scaled up, Dr. Catherine Smallwood, WHO Emergency Officer, via CNBCC
