Coronavirus is more dangerous in India

 Millions of Indians have limited access to clean water, consume unhealthy foods, breathe smelly air and live in an environment full of ga ense.

  Researchers have found that this makes them susceptible to asymptomatic diseases such as heart and chronic respiratory diseases, cancer and diabetes.  According to a government report, this is a major contributor to the disease.  Air pollution alone kills more than one million Indians every year.

  The World Health Organization (WHO) says safe water, sanitation and hygienic conditions are essential for health protection against Covid-19.  A joint study by the WHO and the United Nations Children's Agency, UNICEF, found that nearly three billion people - about 40% of the world's population and almost entirely   It was enough to spread these concerns that the coronavirus would control their population, and kill millions in countries like India.

  

  India has the sixth largest population in the world and the sixth highest number of reported cases.  However, it accounts for only 10% of the world's deaths from the virus, and its case mortality, or CFR, which measures deaths in Covid-19 patients, is less than 2%, one of the lowest in the world.

  Now, new research by Indian scientists suggests that poor sanitation, lack of safe drinking water, and unfavorable conditions may have saved many lives from the really serious Covid-19.

  In other words, they suggest that people living in low- and middle-income countries may be able to prevent serious forms of infection from exposure to various pathogens from an early age, giving them strong immunity to covid-1st.  Both papers, yet to review the peer, looked at deaths per million population to compare mortality rates.

A paper compares publicly available data for 106 countries with two dozen parameters such as population density, demographic information, disease prevalence, and hygiene quality.  Scientists have found that more people have died from Covid-19 in high-income countries.  "People in poorer and lower-income countries seem to have higher immunity to the disease than their high-income counterparts," said one of the study's authors.  Monday told me.

  The second paper looked at the role played by the microbiome - the millions of microbes that live inside the human body - in Covid-19 infections.  Microbiome contains bacteria, viruses, fungi and single cell archaea.  They help with digestion, protect against pathogenic bacteria, control the immune system, and produce vitamins.

  Praveen Kumar and Bal Chandra of Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College looked at data from 122 countries, including 80 upper and upper middle income earners.  They suggest that covid-19 deaths are lower in lesser countries, which are exposed to a number of different pathogens, especially those called "Gram-negative bacteria."

  These bacteria are usually responsible for severe pneumonia, blood and urinary tract infections and skin infections.  But they produce an antiviral cytokine - molecules that help fight pathogens - called interferon, which protects cells against coronaviruses.
