Is there a Biological Explanation for Covid resurgence?

Not long ago President Trump and his wife Melania, tested positive for Covid-19. They both were fortunate enough to overcome the virus, but that does not mean that Covid-19 is something to take lightly. There have been multiple new studies that show that the virus is becoming more contagious. For example, in a recent study conducted in Houston, researchers believe that the reason for the large spike in the Houston areas that went from 200 cases a day to 2,400, are because of the more contagious strand of the virus that has very recently been discovered.  The mutation of the virus has the ability to change because it has already infected 30 million people. When the virus mutates it has the ability to change the behavior and makeup. Some studies have also shown that as the virus mutates and becomes more contagious the vaccine has to change with it. People who have already been infected by the virus now have to be careful because there are new strands that can effect them again.  This is yet another reason why the GREENandSAVE staff sees a need for indoor clean air.

With clean air being a necessary component of the “new normal”, it is wise to act now so that businesses, facilities, and government properties can safely operate during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nationwide, the number of new daily COVID-19 infections continues to rise, spanning every region of the country. It has even reached the highest levels of government with the announcement that the president and first lady have contracted the virus.

With that reality, health leaders say it’s important to understand the important differences between the flu and COVID-19 that share some common symptoms but impact the body differently.

Some people ignore precautions, such as wearing masks and maintaining a minimum six feet distance, arguing those measures have never been required with the seasonal flu whichresults in more than 10 million cases each year in the United States.

Dr. Cliff Martin, chief medical officer of three OSF HealthCare hospitals in western Illinois, says infection with both viruses begins with some similar tell-tale signs such as fever, cough, head and body aches, but COVID-19 symptoms can intensify rapidly within a week or so. Those who get seriously ill with COVID can require a much longer time in intensive care than most people with the flu.
