There is definitely no way anyone can ignore the tragic changes that the coronavirus has caused across the planet, but why do so many people still not believe in its terrible impacts?
If you Google what the most searched words are, or rather, the subject on the agenda in the last four months, you will realize that the disease “coronavirus” is undoubtedly in first place.
However, many people, rulers, religious leaders, public authorities from all over the planet, continue with a minimizing speech of the disease, considering hysteria.
Coronavirus and the immunity passport
Acclaimed by tourists and travelers, “immunity passports” should never be used as a strategy to ease quarantines against the coronavirus, said the WHO in a new technical report, published on the night of this Friday (24).
The document, which reviews 20 scientific studies, says that “there is no overwhelming evidence” that people who have recovered from Covid-19 and have antibodies are protected against a second infection.”
Therefore, the WHO has warned that the risk is that people with a positive result in the test start to ignore public health advice, as they consider themselves immune to a second infection, soon new uncontrollable agglomerations will begin.
"The use of such certificates may therefore increase the mass risks of continued transmission", concludes the technical recommendation of the largest health body in the world.
Final thoughts on the immunity passport
According to an editorial in Folha, the WHO emphasized that immunity to a pathogen is a process that involves several reactions by the organism, generally over the course of one or two weeks.
But what does it mean?
Get this: when infected by a virus, the body responds immediately with cells called macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells that slow the progress of the virus and certainly can even prevent it from causing future symptoms.
The WHO report highlighted that therefore this response is non-specific, in other words it is a reaction to any invading virus. In this way, the body produces proteins called immunoglobulins, the antibodies, which bind specifically to the virus.
What's up ? What do you think? Would an immunity passport solve the situation?
