A = Asymptomatic spread<\/strong> has been one of the most mysterious and haunting aspects of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Do people without any symptoms of COVID-19 help spread the virus? The alarming answer is yes.<\/a><\/p>\n

B = BYOB<\/strong>, as in Bring your own blanket. This play on BYOB is designed to convince people to socialize outdoors, where the virus doesn\u2019t spread as easily. Indoor air can be dangerous, so don\u2019t socialize inside your home with people outside of your family. Avoid crowded restaurants and bars. Dress warmly, wrap yourself in a blanket and catch up with friends and family outside.<\/p>\n

C = COVID-19<\/strong>. According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 means coronavirus disease 2019. In COVID-19, ‘CO’ stands for ‘corona,’ ‘VI’ for ‘virus,’ and ‘D’ for disease.<\/p>\n

D = Dexamethasone<\/strong> is a corticosteroid used in a wide range of conditions for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant effects. For hospitalized patients with COVID-19, it has been found to benefit critically ill patients.<\/p>\n

E = <\/strong>Exponential growth<\/strong><\/a> is a specific way that a quantity may increase over time. The old phone tree is an exponential function: you call two people, they call two people, they call two people and you\u2019ve just spread the word to 14 people.<\/p>\n

F = Flu, or influenza<\/strong>, has many of the same symptoms as COVID-19. It\u2019s hard to tell the difference between<\/a> the two based on symptoms alone. Testing<\/a> can help determine if you are sick with the flu or COVID-19.<\/p>\n

G = Gastrointestinal symptoms<\/strong>, such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, may develop in patients who have COVID-19, sometimes prior to developing fever and lower respiratory tract infection.<\/p>\n

\"kids

H = Hand sanitizer <\/strong>is recommended for handwashing if soap and water<\/a> are not readily available. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.<\/p>\n

I = Inflammatory Syndrome <\/strong>has been detected during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic with reports of a new multisystem inflammatory syndrome<\/a> in children increasing in Europe and the United States, according to the CDC.<\/p>\n

J = Juggling act<\/strong>. Parents who have young children are juggling work-from-home, school, and worries about finances and older generations of family members who are isolated. They\u2019re having a hard time coping with pandemic stress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

K = Kids<\/strong> are more likely than adults to be asymptomatic spreaders of COVID-19. Nearly 40% of children ages 6 to 13 tested positive for COVID-19, but were asymptomatic, according to just published research from the Duke University BRAVE Kids study. While the children had no symptoms of COVID-19, they had the same viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in their nasal areas, meaning that asymptomatic children had the same capacity to spread the virus compared to others who had symptoms of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

L = Long haulers,<\/strong> as some COVID-19 survivors are known, deal with the aftermath of COVID-19 weeks or months after testing negative. These patients<\/a> often receive help from inpatient post-ICU rehabilitation clinics and newly formed outpatient rehabilitation clinics for COVID-19 survivors.<\/p>\n

M = Masks <\/strong>are essential to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in communities. You should wear a mask when in close contact with others outside your family, especially in enclosed spaces.<\/p>\n

N = Nursing<\/strong> home residents are among the most isolated people in our society. Use video calling<\/a> to stay connected and combat loneliness for friends and family in nursing homes. Meanwhile, nurses are among the heroic frontline workers now. As COVID-19 infections spike in the fall and winter, health experts worry about nursing shortages.<\/p>\n

O = The outbreak<\/strong> of COVID-19 in November in Colorado is as dangerous as it has ever been. The number of people testing positive and needing hospitalization<\/a> for COVID-19 is at record levels.<\/p>\n

P = Plasma<\/strong>, as in convalescent plasma,<\/a> is needed to help patients across Colorado. UCHealth began providing convalescent plasma to severely ill hospitalized patients last spring. Several studies are ongoing at UCHealth, including the PassItOn trial, a National Institutes of Health-funded study that will enroll 1,000 patients across the country aimed at trying to prevent disease progression and improve recovery. The C3PO study, also funded by NIH, aims to try to prevent the progression of the disease and improve recovery for patients who come to the Emergency Room and are positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Q = Quarantine. <\/strong>The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recommends patients follow these guidelines<\/a> for quarantine and isolation after contracting COVID-19.<\/p>\n

R = <\/strong>Remdesivir,<\/strong><\/a> the anti-viral drug, has been shown to lessen recovery time for patients who are seriously ill with COVID-19.<\/p>\n

S = Symptoms <\/strong>include fever or chills; cough; shortness of breath or difficulty breathing; fatigue; muscle or body aches; headache; new loss of taste or smell; sore throat; congestion or runny nose; nausea or vomiting; diarrhea. If you are having these symptoms and you think you might have COVID-19, stay at home and isolate yourself from others except to get medical care. Get rest and stay hydrated and take over-the-counter medicines to help you feel better.<\/p>\n

You should seek medical attention if you or someone is showing any of these signs: trouble breathing; persistent pain or pressure in the chest; new confusion; inability to wake or stay awake; bluish lips or face.<\/strong><\/p>\n

U = Underlying conditions<\/strong> in adults or children can cause an increased risk of severe illness resulting from COVID-19. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some of those conditions include: cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart conditions, immunocompromised state, obesity, severe obesity, pregnancy, sickle cell disease, smoking and Type 2 diabetes mellitus.<\/p>\n

V = Vaccine news<\/strong> that Pfizer has developed a vaccine that is 90% effective bodes well for other vaccine studies<\/a>, including two underway at UCHealth. Getting vaccines out to communities will be complex and challenging, but public health experts hope a large percentage of the population can get vaccines next year.<\/p>\n

W = Wastewater monitoring<\/strong> is one of the ways scientists can detect the spread<\/a> of COVID-19 in communities. The virus can appear in poop before anyone shows symptoms, according to the State of Colorado.<\/p>\n

X = X-mas<\/strong>, New Year\u2019s and Thanksgiving are expected to be different this year. It\u2019s 2020. States and local governments across the United States are encouraging families to gather with only members of their household.<\/p>\n

Z = Zinc <\/strong>is proven to help with other coronaviruses that are responsible for the common cold. Here\u2019s a big question many are asking: can zinc<\/a> shorten the duration of \u2013 or even diminish the symptom load and thereby lessen the impact \u2013 of COVID-19?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
