The NOVEL Coronavirus model Reureute-Dado Ruvic was 3D printed
The total population of Asia takes up 30% of the global total, but in the past year, the number of deaths due to novel Coronavirus in Asia only accounted for 2.4% of the total number of deaths due to novel coronavirus, with a total of 44,000 deaths. Apart from the errors that may occur in the statistics and the difference in the average age of the population, does the racial difference have anything to do with this? A Tokyo correspondent for Les Echos, a French newspaper, published a lengthy investigative article on Monday outlining the research and views of virus experts in Japan and the United States on the subject.
In addition to the novel Coronavirus origin, the other mystery of the virus is that it seems to show mercy to people in places like Asia and Africa. Asia was the first region hit by the epidemic, and the mortality rate in both developed and developing countries was far lower than that in Europe and the United States. Despite the recent increase in confirmed cases in Japan and South Korea, only 4,284 people have died from the virus in both countries since the outbreak began earlier this year, compared with the current daily death toll in the United States.
Western public opinion to condemn their lack of government response to the outbreak at the same time, it emphasizes the differences between Chinese and western culture, think Asian people are tame animals, subject to the government’s instructions, and, in fact, in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan and other countries, People’s Daily life has not been sealed foot restrictions, such as people’s basic freedom rights has not been infringed. Of course, those countries were quick to isolate and distinguish between confirmed and suspected cases from other populations in the first place, and the habit of wearing masks in Asian countries may have helped to stop the spread of the virus. To many experts, however, these factors are not enough to explain the disparity in virulence between Asia and The U.S. and Europe. A number of Japanese scholars believe that the reason may be related to human genes.
Tatsuhiko Kodama, a professor at the University of Tokyo, Japan, in recent months tested the serum samples of more than a hundred patients infected with novel Coronavirus and was surprised to find that a particular antibody had been detected in the blood samples of all the patients. This particular antibody is produced only when the body is exposed to the same virus the second time, so he thought that the response of Asian people to the virus seemed to show that they had been attacked by avirus similar to novel Coronavirus before. In addition to SARS and MERS, other viruses of this nature have been circulating in Asia for years. This may explain why the killing rate in Asia is much lower than in America and Europe. From this basis, some scholars even think that Asian people may have developed immune genes due to historical exposure to similar viruses. Virologists from several universities in Japan set up the “Coronavirus Task Force” novel Coronavirus Task Force to study genetic samples collected from 500 patients who were classified into those with mild or severe symptoms. The focus of the study is referred to as the HLA human leukocyte antigen (English: human leukocyte antigen, abbreviated as HLA), he is encoding human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene, has the supervision mechanism of human immune function, this function because of race, in 2018 the Nobel Prize in medicine winner Japan virus experts in this society on (Tasuku Honjo) pointed out that the pathogen identification of the cell system play a key role. Research is under way and it is expected that in the next few months scholars will be able to determine whether novel Coronavirus is inherently immune to Asian species.
In fact, it has long been a fact of life that some parts of the world are naturally immune to a particular virus. Researchers at Bastille Day college in Paris say that people in African countries are far more resistant to malaria than people in Europe or the United States.
