"The new normal: Why do we feel more sick after Covid-19?"

Published by El Economista

"It's not a conspiracy theory. At least 13 communicable diseases are alarmingly exceeding pre-pandemia levels. At least that's what a recent analysis of Bloomberg and Airfinity, a British company that specializes in monitoring and predicting public health trends, says. To reach this conclusion, the study collected data from more than 60 public health organizations and agencies.

Several communicable diseases such as the common cold, measles or tuberculosis, are surpassing average levels in many regions of the world. And often by significant margins. According to this study, more than 40 countries are reporting outbreaks 10 times higher than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. Experts argue that these increases can be attributed to several hypotheses.

A first guess rests on the argument for the collapse of vaccination rates. At least in cases of measles, polio, pertussis and tuberculosis, which are diseases that can be prevented with immunization, this seems to be a logical and reasonable explanation for abnormal case increases. But insufficient to explain the alarming 40 percent increase in cases of flu or influenza, for example.

A second hypothesis that is considered is that once measurements against coronaviruses have been lifted, viruses and bacteria are more likely to spread again and incrementally. The central argument is that almost no one uses masks anymore, keeps the distance or washes his hands with as meticulousness and frequency as he did during the crown beak. However, this theory is limited enough to explain how a carnivorous bacteria spread at a record rate in Japan, cholera is proliferating dangerously in Southeast Asia, or that in Australia a respiratory virus that causes pneumonia in babies and young children has spread to an unprecedented level. Also in Brazil, Argentina and Peru, hospitals are saturated with dengue patients. In the latter case, some scientists have pointed to climate change as responsible for the crisis, a premise that has generated doubts and skepticism.

A third theory is based on that coronavirus and its effects on our immune system are the cause of the sudden spread of various infectious diseases. To put it colloquially: that the virus could have compromised our immune system. And that's why bacteria and viruses find it easier to invade and infect us. However, the latter thesis does not at all explain how Canada, Japan, Singapore and Germany, places praised for their successful efforts to contain Covid, are now experiencing unusual levels of excess mortality. Christopher Murray, director of the Washington-based Institute for Health Measurement and Evaluation, said. On the contrary, other places that failed to control the spread of Covid, such as Africa, Bulgaria, Romania and Russia, have now returned to pre-demmocrammation mortality rates. How is this possible? What is the logic behind the argument?

The sustained increase in mortality levels in many countries is fuelling other alternate hypotheses, perhaps with less acceptance in the scientific community: that confinement during the pandemic essentially kept some people alive who may have died in a normal environment with viruses and bacteria in free circulation, or that it was the vaccines themselves that caused the adverse effects on the immune system of millions of people.

Some public health specialists think that the different hypotheses - especially that relating to that of the immune system committed by COVID, which is the most accepted - could undoubtedly explain a certain resurgence of diseases reported after the pandemic, but do not explain the extent of the phenomenon that the world is experiencing. Which leaves more questions than answers.

"The phenomenon of immune deficit definitely happens, but I don't think it results in the spread of huge epidemics after Covid," said Ben Cowling, professor of epidemiology at the University of Hong Kong School of Public Health.

While the scientific community continues to seek consensus to respond to these and other questions, the H5N1 bird flu virus continues to spread. In recent months, the virus has infected a growing number of mammals, including dairy cattle in the United States. Several people have already become infected, raising fears of an epidemic outbreak.

"If H5N1 spreads from person to person, the world will most likely be overwhelmed again," said Helen Clark, a former New Zealand prime minister and co-author of the study. Will we be facing a new and ominous normal? Another unanswered question."
