The epidemic in India has intensified, and the second wave of the epidemic has dealt a catastrophic blow to India. The daily increase in confirmed cases has exceeded 400,000 for four consecutive days, including 4,092 new deaths, and a total of 240,000 deaths. It is predicted that the number of deaths from the new crown in India may reach 1 million by August 1. India's chief scientific adviser said that in the short term, the epidemic in India will break out completely, and the current epidemic situation heralds the arrival of the third wave of the epidemic. In addition, if the virus mutates again, India will pay a heavy price for it.
Recently, another round of nightmares has struck in India, and the situation has worsened in the country. A super rare germ called mucormycosis has appeared in India, which has caused 40 people to be blinded due to infection, and 8 more. Man recovers from Covid-19, but re-infects Mucorvirus and dies. According to research, mucormycosis virus is a very rare virus, such fungi generally exist in soil, air, plants, rotting vegetables and feces. If the human body inhales this bacteria , the sinus , brain and lungs will be affected. Due to the difficulty of controlling the epidemic in India, India's neighboring countries have also fallen completely. Many countries have been affected by the epidemic, such as Bangladesh, Myanmar , Germany , Spain and other 18 countries.
According to the local health agency , this is a deadly germ, especially for new crown patients, has low immunity, and its fragile immune system cannot resist this fungus at all. Most cases of mucormycosis have been reported to be diagnosed in Covid-19 patients and in newly recovered Covid-19 patients, many of whom contracted the virus within 12-15 days of recovery from Covid-19.Experts believe that the ventilators used in patients in the treatment of the new crown increase the chance of fungal infection, and because India is now severely lacking drugs, this also further exacerbates the lethality of the bacteria. Due to the late arrival of most patients, many patients have been so severe that they have lost their vision, and doctors must amputate one or both eyes of the patient to save the patient's life. Even the patient's mandible needs to be removed to stop the virus from spreading. In response to the outbreak in India and the impact of the superbug , many countries have taken emergency response measures, arranging citizens to evacuate from India, and Korean companies even arranged flights to evacuate their Korean employees in India back to their home countries. In one day, 539 South Korean employees were evacuated. The US government has also notified citizens in India to return to the US immediately.
WHO also closely monitors global mutated viruses that are considered potential threats to global public health. Zhong Nanshan academician also said that China has generally withstood the first stage of the outbreak of the epidemic, but the global epidemic situation is still severe and we cannot ignore it. In addition, the current vaccination rate of vaccine in China is not high, and there is still a big gap compared with the national immunization .
