Should we worry about spike in Covid cases amid H3N2 scare? (Hindustan Times)

A double whammy of rising H3N2 and Covid-19 cases has become a cause of worry for people. Here's what experts are saying about the current health crisis.

"The symptomatology of H3N2 is like the common flu with fever, myalgia headache and throat pain. More important is early seeking of medical help so that the severity of illness can be assessed by a doctor and accordingly treatment planned. "The H3N2 a variant of Influenza virus found in pigs was first detected in humans in 2011. Along with it if not quarantine, at least we need to isolate these patients and they should avoid contact with other immunocompromised family members. This season it is the most dominant virus in US and most likely in our country as well. Along with this, one needs to emphasise on health lifestyle with good food, sunlight, sufficient water and lot of rest with some amount of positivity to get through this season," says Dr Routray. Contact your doctor if your symptoms do not resolve, and avoid panicking," adds Dr Budhiraja. Additionally, taking the annual flu vaccine is crucial for protection against seasonal flu viruses," says Dr Budhiraja. "Both are spread by droplets and aerosols when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks, or breathes. Testing panels for respiratory viruses and Covid are available, leading to many mild Covid cases being detected and managed with symptomatic treatment at home. However, some patients with medical comorbidities, such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, lung problems, or elderly patients, are being admitted to hospitals for specific treatment," says Dr. Many patients are reporting fever, cough, cold, headache, body aches, and some abdominal discomfort due to ongoing flu.

Two-fold rise in Covid cases in three weeks (Telegraph India)

PM Modi chaired a special meeting on Wednesday to review the status and preparedness of the public health response to the rise in Covid-19 cases occurring ...

Studies by Karyakarte and his colleagues have over the past year shown that omicron sub-lineages have largely caused mild symptoms in patients. The Union health ministry on Wednesday documented 1,134 new Covid-19 infections over the previous 24 hours but doctors suspect the actual count is unknown because many patients with mild symptoms do not test themselves. The one patient in the sample who died had serious underlying chronic conditions. He said mask wearing was also advisable when senior citizens and those with underlying chronic disorders visit crowded areas. An analysis of the medical records of 50 patients infected with XBB.1.16 has shown that most patients had only mild symptoms or no symptoms at all and had been detected as Covid-19 positive incidentally during other medical procedures. India’s count of active Covid-19 patients rose to 7,026 on Wednesday, more than double the nationwide count three weeks ago, but the coronavirus variant fuelling this rise appears to be causing mild symptoms in the vast majority of patients, doctors have said.
