Figure 1. Daily new cases and deaths, and the characteristics of different mutations in the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The data were obtained fromhttps://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Figure 2. Proposed mechanisms of long COVID-19. Persistent tissue damage and inflammation are suggested to be the major mechanisms of persistent symptoms of COVID-19. Persistent dendritic cell (DC) deficiency, autoimmunity and dysbiosis may also contribute to the long-term symptoms. Severe disease, aging and female are risk factors for long COVID-19.
Figure 3. Time-series visualization of global daily reported COVID-19 deaths, excess mortality estimates and vaccinations. Source data were downloaded from Our World in Data on August 19, 2022. Excess mortality estimates and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were modeled by the Economist. The lines indicate 7-day rolling averages of daily reported deaths and excess mortality estimates per million people as well as all daily vaccination doses per billion people, including boosters that are counted individually.
Figure 4. Flow chart for the management of individuals with allergic reactions to COVID-19 vaccines. Premedication can be used for those with local reactions before the next dose of vaccine. For those with systemic symptoms, assessment with skin test or basophil activation test (BAT) in an allergy clinic is recommended and then treated with premedication or alternative vaccines.
