Introduction
Viruses are a major health concern, and the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus has made it even more important to be aware of the risks associated with them. In response to this, a virus expert has issued a warning about the potential for a very contagious virus to spread. The expert has advised people to be mindful of what they eat and to avoid certain foods that could increase the risk of infection. This article will discuss the warning issued by the virus expert and provide tips on what to eat and what to avoid in order to reduce the risk of infection.
Virus Expert Just Issued This “Very Contagious” Warning — Eat This Not That
As the world continues to grapple with the novel coronavirus pandemic, experts are warning that the virus is highly contagious and can spread quickly. In light of this, one virus expert has issued a warning about what to eat and what not to eat in order to reduce the risk of infection.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recently warned that people should avoid eating certain foods that could increase their risk of contracting the virus. He specifically mentioned that people should avoid eating raw or undercooked animal products, such as raw or undercooked eggs, meat, and fish.
Dr. Fauci also warned that people should avoid eating food that has been handled by someone who is infected with the virus. He said that it is important to wash your hands thoroughly after handling food, and to avoid sharing utensils or plates with someone who is infected.
In addition to avoiding certain foods, Dr. Fauci also suggested that people should take extra precautions when preparing food. He said that people should wash their hands before and after handling food, and that they should also wash all fruits and vegetables before eating them.
Finally, Dr. Fauci warned that people should avoid eating food that has been left out for too long, as this could increase the risk of contamination. He also suggested that people should avoid eating food that has been sitting out for more than two hours.
By following these simple guidelines, people can reduce their risk of contracting the virus and help to keep themselves and their families safe.
COVID cases are rising yet again in America, with 66,000 daily, and deaths climbing 30% as well. Overall, more than 1 million Americans have died from COVID since the beginning of the pandemic. In response, Dr. Ashish Jha, the white House COVID Response Coordinator, appeared on the Today Show. Read on to hear his warning about the “very contagious” new variant that’s causing the spread in cases. Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Sure Signs You’ve Already Had COVID.
Hoda Kotb asked if there was a correlation between the airlines lifting mask mandates, after a judge’s intervention, three weeks back and the new rise in cases. “I think what’s driving the increase in infections across the country right now, is this very contagious new subvariant BA.2,” said Jha. “It is spreading in large parts of the country. It’s the dominant variant here in the Northeast and in the Midwest and in other parts of the country as well. So I think that’s the primary driver,” he said. “I still believe that masking on airplanes would’ve been helpful and for the federal judge not to have intervened, but I think the primary driver here is that very contagious sub-variant.”
Will there be more mask mandates with the rising cases? “What we’re expecting is that we’re gonna have localities make those decisions,” said Jha. “The CDC has laid out a map and an approach to when to think about mask mandates, really driven by three factors: infections, hospitalizations, hospital capacity. Most of the country remains in the green,not recommending to have indoor mask mandates, but we will see localities make that decision on a case by case basis.”
Kotb asked about the deaths: “Were you able to determine who in that group was vaccinated and who was not?” Said Jha: “We do track that what we know is that a vast majority of Americans who have perished from this disease were unvaccinated in the latest round of infections that we saw that big surge in January,” said Jha. “Most of the deaths occurred either in unvaccinated people or people who are not boosted. So vaccines remain the best way to protect yourself, especially getting boosted. But every one of those deaths, vaccinated, unvaccinated is a tragedy and we’ve gotta do everything we can to prevent it.”
A spate of infections followed the White House Correspondents Dinner, held in a big room of 2,600 maskless people; Dr. Fauci refused to attend, judging it was too high risk for his individual situation. Was it a bad idea for President Biden to attend—and what should you do about high-traffic events? “I think if we take a step back here, Hoda, and look at that event, look at events like that everybody was vaccinated and boosted, everybody had a negative test. I think the question is, are there ways of making gatherings safer or not? And I believe that the White House Correspondents Dinner did the things that we know make the event safer. The president made a choice, and based on all of the facts and based on the fact that there are those sort of protections in place. And I think that’s the safe way to gather together. And I actually encourage people if they’re gonna gather to use those tools to make it a safer thing to do.”
The FDA has warned that the J&J vaccine let to a small amount of blood clots among those who took it. “What we know is extremely rare risk, and here’s the key point. All of those rare events happen in the first couple of weeks after you’ve gotten vaccinated. So if you’re more than a couple of weeks out, you’re in the clear we don’t, hadn’t seen any cases come up beyond a few weeks. So if you’ve gotten one of these vaccines, the J&J vaccine you’re protected and you’re out of that window where that rare risk can happen. So get vaccinated, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don’t visit any of these 35 Places You’re Most Likely to Catch COVID.
