It is known that residents of Europe and the United States suffer from the flu mainly in cold season. However, in the coming years, everything will change – the incidence of influenza will last for the whole year, similar to how it occurs in tropical countries.
In places where a temperate climate is considered a disease winter disease only, freely distributed in the cold air environment.
How global warming is associated with morbidity the flu
At first glance it would seem that global warming should worsen the position of the virus, as the cold season is reduced. However, scientists have noticed that in tropical regions, dependence the flu from the weather is completely different. In these places the virus is free spreads, hitting people for a whole year. Researchers expect in the coming years, the emergence of a similar situation in Europe and the United States.
Scientists cannot understand why in the tropical and temperate climates influenza virus behaves differently, reports Popular Science. However, they noticed that the territories in which people get sick all year, expanding along with growing heat the planet.
The main problems and their solution
If this trend continues, then doctors will have to review existing vaccination regimens. For example, if now doctors recommend getting vaccinated once a year, then the coming years will have to do this several times a year.
Scientists, knowing the existing problem of people’s unwillingness to go through vaccination, just horrified by what they have to do, to stop the spread of the virus. There are very few people who want to get vaccinated several times, because after only one vaccination, a person feels for some time prostration.
There is another moment that drives the gloom of the doctors: the virus flu has more time for evolution and mutation, which is why new vaccines will have to be accelerated. Will they be in time? Question.
Scientists also made one interesting observation: in tropical countries where the virus gives people anxiety for a whole year, the number sick about the same as the number of sick in moderate latitudes. This suggests that the total number of people with the flu people are not likely to grow into new climatic conditions.
Scientists believe that the most reliable way to solve the development of a universal problem may be flu vaccine that can counteract any strain this insidious virus. Currently, scientists from different countries are already approached the creation of this universal vaccine.
Bill Gates previously warned of a flu pandemic that could kill tens of millions of people.
