There are several indicators used to calculate the status of the Covid-19 risk zone in Indonesia, namely: epidemiology, public health surveillance, and health services.

Epidemiological indicators

  • The drop in the number of positive cases in the last week was more than 50 percent from the peak
  • The drop in the number of ODP and PDP cases in the last week was more than 50 percent from the peak
  • The drop in the number of positive case deaths in the last week was more than 50 percent from the peak
  • The drop in the number of ODP and PDP deaths in the last week was more than 50 percent from the peak
  • The decrease in the number of positive cases hospitalized in the last week was more than 50 percent from the peak
  • The decline in the number of ODP and PDP cases hospitalized in the last week was more than 50 percent from the peak
  • The cumulative percentage of cases recovered from all positive cases
  • Increase in the number of completed monitoring of ODP and PDP cases over the past 2 weeks
  • Incidence rate of positive cases per 100,000 population
  • Mortality rate of positive cases per 100,000 population

Public health surveillance indicators

The number of diagnostic samples examined increased over the past 2 weeks
Positivity rate low (target of less than 5 percent positive sample of all people tested).

Health service indicators

  • The number of beds in the Referral Hospital isolation room can accommodate up to less than 20 percent of the number of COVID-19 positive patients hospitalized
  • The number of beds in the Referral Hospital can accommodate up to less than the number of ODP, PDP, and COVID-19 positive patients being treated at the hospital

With this indicator, it means that the risk zone in each of them can change at any time depending on the conditions of the spread of the corona virus pandemic.

KOMPAS.com – Taj Mahal reopened today, Monday (21/9/2020), after being closed for about six months due to the outbreak corona virus that hit the world, including India.

Quoting CNA, the opening of one of the most popular tourist attractions in India was carried out despite the number of cases of infection Covid-19 keep jumping.

India, the world’s most populous country with 1.3 billion people, has recorded more than 5.4 million cases of Covid-19.

Daily additions of cases corona virus of India even had touched 100,000 cases, and about 1,000 deaths every day.

Previously, the Indian government took measures to restrict territories in March. This policy has an impact on the country’s economy.

In recent months, the government has eased many restrictions including rail routes, domestic flights, opening markets and restaurants.

Recognize Anosmia, The Most Typical Symptoms When Infected With Corona!

by

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Corona virus or SARS-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19 disease, usually causes a number of symptoms in the person it is infected with. Some of the symptoms common to infected people include high fever, cough, to easily tired.

In addition, there is also one other symptom that is most often found, namely loss of smell or anosmia.

Anosmia generally occurs in people who have the common cold due to nasal congestion, where there is swelling in the area. However, for people with Covid-19, the symptoms will be much worse.

According to Science Focus, the reason why loss of smell can occur in Covid-19 patients is because there is a protein on the surface of some human cells that can easily “bind” to the outer protein of the corona virus.

“These are cells found in the heart, lungs, intestines, throat, and nose.” explained the media in an article published in August.

“Proteins, a type of enzyme called ‘angiotensin converting enzyme II’ (ACE-2), have a specific form designed for their job – taking the angiotensin hormone, and converting it to angiotensin II, which is used around the body for things like regulating blood pressure. “Although the ACE-2 form is very compatible with angiotensin, it also binds to the sharp outer protein of the coronavirus.”

A team of scientists from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have conducted follow-up studies to measure how much ACE-2 protein is found in each cell type. The study was conducted by looking at tissue samples from a patient’s nose, says Science Focus.

They found that levels of protein in the olfactory epithelius, the tissue at the back of the nose used to detect odors, were “very high,” between 200 and 700 times higher than in other nasal areas.

The findings are also expected to show a potential way to treat infections directly through the nose.

“These olfactory support cells are needed to protect and maintain the delicate neurons in the nose that detect odors and signal that information to the brain,” said study author Dr Andrew P Lane.

“In general, when cells are infected with a virus, they undergo a process called pyroptosis – basically pressing the self-destruct button to thwart the virus. So, in all likelihood, olfactory support cells self-destruct, which in turn leads to the death of sensory neurons and loss of the sense of smell. “

Further studies looking at the recovery of Covid-19 patients have found these neurons return over time, although the long-term effects are still unknown.

“Some Covid-19 patients report a deviant odor (parosmia) persists for months after their sense of smell returns,” said Lane. “This long-term odor disorder with Covid-19 is unusual and requires further study.

“It is possible that this altered olfactory function may be permanent, but it is too early to know. We are optimistic that this will eventually disappear as the brain ‘re-learns’ to interpret signals from the regenerating olfactory layer.”

Recent Developments in Clinical Trials of COVID-19 Vaccines in 4 Global Companies

by

German company BioNTech is working with New York-based Pfizer and Chinese drug maker Fosun Pharma to develop an mRNA vaccine that will be administered in two doses.

In May they launched Phase 1/2 trials on two versions of the vaccine. They found that both versions caused the volunteers to produce antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, as well as immune cells called T cells that respond to the virus.

They found that one version, called BNT162b2, produced significantly fewer side effects, such as fever and fatigue, so they opted for it to move to the Phase 2/3 trial.

On July 27, the company announced the launch of Phase 2/3 trials with 30,000 volunteers in the United States and other countries including Argentina, Brazil and Germany. In an interim study, the company reported that after getting the first dose, volunteers experienced mild to moderate side effects.

On September 12, Pfizer and BioNTech announced that they would seek to expand their US trial to 43,000 attendees.

That same month, the Trump administration awarded a $ 1.9 billion contract for 100 million doses to be delivered in December and an option to procure 500 million more doses. Meanwhile, Japan struck a deal for 120 million doses, and the European Union arranged to buy 200 million doses.

In September, Pfizer’s chief executives said they would find out if the vaccine was working as soon as October 2020. If approved, Pfizer said it hopes to produce more than 1.3 billion doses of their vaccine worldwide by the end of 2021.

For the ninth time, Argentina is defaulting and unable to pay its debts, and negotiations are continuing

by

For the ninth time in a row, Argentina has defaulted on its debt in its history. But the government of left-wing President Alberto Fernandez is seeking to strike a deal with Argentine bondholders, without starting the default.

  • For the ninth time, Argentina is defaulting and unable to pay its debts, and negotiations are continuing
    Responsible Argentine source: We are not paying the interest, but negotiations are still continuing

Argentina again defaulted on a payment of $ 500 million, but negotiations to restructure $ 66 billion of its debt are still ongoing.

“We are not paying the interest, but negotiations are continuing,” an Argentine government source told AFP.

Argentine Economy Minister Martin Guzman said, “There is still a great distance to cross, but the most important thing is that all parties are still sitting at the negotiating table to find a solution.”

Guzman explained that the extension of negotiations “provides flexibility in the event that his country decides in the coming days to introduce amendments to its proposals to reach a viable agreement with its creditors.”

Argentina extended On May 11, its proposal to restructure its debt. Argentine President Alberto Fernandez affirmed that his country remains open to negotiation with international creditors, indicating that it has extended its offer to restructure its public debt.

On the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, the Merval index recorded a decline of 1.03 percent at the close on Friday evening to reach 40,962.76 points. During the week, the stock exchange rose by 3.99 percent, while negotiations between the Argentine government and its creditors continued.

This is the ninth time that Argentina has defaulted on its debt in its history. But the government of left-wing President Alberto Fernandez is seeking to strike a deal with Argentine bondholders, without starting the default.

The Argentine government announced late Thursday the extension of the deadline set for the restructuring of debt until the second of June.

This ten-day extension only suggests that the Argentine government and its creditors could be close to an agreement even though the new deadline is not necessarily final, as the government made clear Thursday.

These negotiations were supposed to end on the eighth of May at the latest. But in the absence of an agreement, it was extended until Friday, the due date of which $ 500 million in interest must be paid.

In total, Argentina’s debt amounts to $ 324 billion, or about ninety percent of its gross domestic product.

For his part, the International Monetary Fund spokesman Gerry Rice affirmed that this international financial body supports Argentina in restructuring its debts, and “trusts the will of the two parties to continue negotiations to reach an agreement.”

Depending on the debt repayment schedule, further interest payments are due in June. With an amnesty period of thirty days, Argentina can count on a hiatus until the end of next July.

The new Corona virus has also caused a severe slowdown in the economy, forcing the government to release funds to alleviate its impact on the most vulnerable residents and businesses.

Research: Corona COVID-19 Virus is Strong, Resilient and Heat Resistant Even Outside the Host

by

Liputan6.com, Budapest – A research team in Hungary is puncturing the coronavirus COVID-19 with a fine needle to measure how much force it needs before it ‘pops’ like a balloon. It wasn’t destroyed.

The ‘body’ of Sars-CoV-2 – the name of the virus that causes COVID-19 – is about 80 nanometers wide, and the tip of the needle the researchers are using is much smaller than that. The tip goes from the top of the virus to the bottom. The virion was pinched, then immediately ‘bounced’ as the needle left.

The researchers repeated this 100 times on the same virus particle and it remains almost intact.

It is “very tough,” said the team led by Dr Miklos Kellermayer of Semmelweis University in Budapest in an un-peer-reviewed paper posted on biorxiv.org on Thursday, September 17, 2020. Asia One, Saturday (19/9/2020).

The new corona virus causes COVID-19 continues to surprise scientists with its unique structure. For example, a team from Tsinghua University in Beijing released the most detailed structural reconstruction of the virus in the journal Cell this week. They found that the virus can accumulate large amounts of nucleic acid bands that carry genetic data into tightly packed wraps.

However, the viruses used in this study and other previous studies were frozen in order to get a sharp and steady shot for the camera.

The Kellermayer team captured how the virus behaved while it was still alive. They placed virus particles on trays lined with a biological binding agent.

This material can fix the position of the virus. Under a laser-emitting atomic microscope, scientists play with the virus with needles to see how it responds to various stimuli.

Viruses usually become susceptible after leaving their host. But according to some studies, Sars-CoV-2 can withstand some everyday surfaces like cupboards.

How it manages to survive environmental disturbances is unclear.

The Hungarian team found that the virus envelope gave almost no resistance when the needle tip landed on the surface. As the tip goes further, the holding force peaks and then rapidly diminishes to almost nothing.

Their experimental data suggested Sars-Cov-2 could be the most physically elastic virus known to man so far, and that the repeated deformations did not appear to affect the overall structure and content within the virus either.

“Its mechanical and healing properties alone can ensure adaptation to a variety of environmental conditions,” said Kellermayer and his research colleagues.

Chinese scientists estimate that Sars-CoV-2 has 26 spike proteins (spine proteins) on its surface that can bind with host cells. Researchers at the University of Cambridge in England gave a similar estimate of 24. A study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany put the number 40.

Meanwhile, the Kellermayer research team said there were 61 protein spikes in their specimens. This suggests that the variability in the structure of the coronavirus COVID-19 could be bigger than expected, they said.
