What will be the second wave of coronavirus

And dissatisfaction with masks, quarantine measures and a fall in the economy - this is a feedback that makes officials thinly configure restrictions and look for compromise approaches. And the space helmet will protect travelers from coronavirus. Tiega newsletter. Wait aid.

How the second wave differs from the first

The number of new cases of infection with coronavirus is growing, but countries are better ready from an epidemiological point of view than at the beginning of the pandemic: more tests, masks and places in intensive care, doctors better understand the course of the disease:

When in the United States, the number of new cases increased approximately by half, the burden on hospitals remained almost the same; while people were accustomed to the epidemic, they began to be less afraid, tired of restrictions and less inclined to obey them; the authorities are affectionate between the need to restrain the growth of the epidemic and not to anger people. They operate with a thinner set of restrictive measures - until the places in the intensive care units begin to end; in countries that have been quarantined in a timely manner and avoided severe consequences, people rather believe that the danger of the epidemic is exaggerated. Where the epidemic took more severe forms, people tend to scold politicians for insufficient restrictions. For example, in Britain, where in the spring the government hesitated with the introduction of quarantine, the popularity of the ruling party fell sharply; dissatisfaction with masks, quarantine measures and a fall in the economy is a feedback that makes officials thinner configure restrictions and look for compensation approaches. For example, close the discos, but not bars, limit the hours of restaurant’s work, but do not completely close and so on.

Space helmet against coronavirus

The Hall Labs technological incubator released the Air by Microclimate helmet, which looks like part of the space suit and must protect its owner from coronavirus:

Fans and HEPA filters are built into the helmet, which block 99.97% of the particles; in the following versions, the developers want to reduce the noise from the fans and add the closing hole for the tube so that you can drink without taking off the helmet; a helmet weighs less than a kilogram is available for pre-order for $ 199.
