Coronavirus Pandemie arrived in Austria five years ago. The first SARS-COV-2 cases in the country will be confirmed on 25 February 2020. An Italian couple from Bergamo receives his positive test results in Innsbruck. Even five years later the virus has not disappeared.
Many people burn the photos of the city in North -Italy, where in March box is brought to other cities with trucks because the crematoria are overloaded. This draws the start of the devastating dimensions of Corona Pandemic, who still employs the world today.
Corona -Virus marks the fifth time
Lockdowns and other measures are an internationally attempted to delay the spread of the virus in 2020. From March 16, the Austrian federal government will impose “first restrictions” for the first time. On December 27, 2020, vaccinations with a new MRNA vaccine from Biontech/Pfizer will officially start in this country and in other EU countries.
Already in November 2019, according to the subsequent analysis, there must have been cases of the initially mysterious disease, which later received the name COVID-19. The first officially confirmed infections will be recorded in the Metropolis Wuhan at the beginning of December. The rest of the world learns from the “viral lung disease of unknown cause” when the Chinese authorities inform the World Health Organization (WHO) on 31 December.
When, based on the Huanan Fischmarkt in Wuhan, a number of infected people die in China, a large part of humanity has hardly noticed anything of the new lung disease. The genome of the new virus will be published on January 10, 2020, it is a SARS virus (seriously acute respiratory syndrome). Only three days later the first test on the new virus is offered through the World Health Organization (WHO).
Pandemic end after more than three years
On January 30, the WHO calls for a “health accident of international scope” – that is, Pandemie – which will only be declared on 5 May 2023. In Austria, an infection with SARS-COV-2 is no longer a reportable disease from 1 July 2023. Until that time, 6.08 million infections in this country are detected and 22,500 deaths are associated with the coronavirus.
As expected, Corona has no longer disappeared from the earth, even a good five years after the first confirmed SARS-COV-2 matters in Austria. At the height of the youngest wave, nearly 1,000 Covid-sliding people were admitted to hospital in the hospital in October in October. About four to five percent of them ended up in intensive care units this season. With Influenza and RSV, various waves even emphasized the hospitals, the lung specialist Arschang Valipour emphasized.
There were 979 hospital admissions due to serious airway disorders with the diagnosis of COVID-19 in the 41st calendar week of the previous year, 38 of them in intensive care. Including the weeks before and after, thousands of Corona ended up in the hospital last fall and this winter.
The danger of difficult course and death fell
“The health system is no longer acute,” says Doctor, who works in the Floridsdorf clinic. Of course such waves would have an impact. “In the case of the number of cases in the fall, a non-interrupted part of the beds was occupied.”
Because of the acute Covid 19 disease, the elderly remain in the hospital. The risk of ending with follow -up infections or with subsequent deterioration of any underlying diseases in the hospital is also increased in the first 90 days after an infection.
On the other hand, what has changed since the SARS-COV-2 outbreak five years ago is the chance of serious infection, “said Valipour. “The vast majority of infections does not lead to a stay in the hospital.” Vaccination plays a role here, although their protection in older “quickly decreases after three to four months”. The mortality has also decreased considerably and lies with those who have to go to the hospital, one to three percent, the doctor reported with long and intensive care.
Valipour advises that people who have an increased risk of serious courses due to their age or earlier diseases still have to be vaccinated and take medication against COVID-19 in the case of an infection. “From the age of 60 I would recommend it, regardless of comorbidities,” concluded the doctor.
