Fluvoxamine: An OCD Drug can Prevent Covid-19 Patients from Hospitalization
Fluvoxamine has been proven among one such drug that could be used to treat COVID-19. Dozens of COVID patients showed no clinical deterioration in their symptoms when treated with a drug, fluvoxamine.

Of the total deaths, middle-income countries accounted for 81 percent, lower-middle-income countries for 53 percent and upper-middle-income countries 28 percent over the 24-month period. High-income and low-income countries each accounted for 15 percent and 4 percent, respectively.
"These sobering data not only points to the impact of the pandemic but also to the need for all countries to invest in more resilient health systems that can sustain essential health services during crises, including stronger health information systems," said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, in a statement.
COVID-19 Death Rates
The estimates also confirm that the global death toll was higher for men (57 percent) than for women (43 percent) and higher among older adults.
Green Fungus or Aspergillosis and COVID-19 Infection
Green fungus or Aspergillosis is caused by a common mold, which exists both indoors and outdoors. Every day, people inhale Aspergillus spores, but it isn't harmful. However, it affects people who have a weak immune system. If the infection is left untreated, it can cause pneumonia.

"Measurement of excess mortality is an essential component to understand the impact of the pandemic. Shifts in mortality trends provide decision-makers information to guide policies to reduce mortality and effectively prevent future crises. Because of limited investments in data systems in many countries, the true extent of excess mortality often remains hidden," said Dr. Samira Asma, assistant director-general for Data, Analytics and Delivery at WHO, in the statement.
Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.
