research on flu: A team of scientists from Britain has found that due to long-term restrictions during the Kovid-19 epidemic, people have been in the status of ‘immunity debate’, which is now seeing changes in the way of spreading flu."Text-Align: justify;"> fall in flu and respiratory diseases & nbsp;
When people do not come in contact with diseases for a long time, then their body’s immune system (strength to fight against diseases) becomes weak. This is called ‘Immunity Debt’. This means that now people become more sensitive to common infections. At the time of Kovid epidemic, countries around the world adopted strict precautions like lockdown, social dispensing, wearing masks and prohibition on travel. These measures helped to stop Kovid, but at the same time there was a very sharp decline in cases of flu and other respiratory diseases. But now after Kovid, there has been a sudden rapid increase in flu cases worldwide.
Flu vaccination is necessary to promote – Daniel Priyto -Alhambra
Researchers say that due to ‘immunity debate’, there may be major flu outbreaks in the coming years, as now people’s immunity has reduced and they have become more sensitive to being infected with other viruses. Professor of Oxford University Daniel Priato-Alhambra said, said, ” "Our study has made it clear that the immune system of the people has become weak due to not coming in contact with the flu in the last few years, and now the infection is spreading very fast. It is a matter of relief that strategies are available to reduce its effect and it is necessary to promote the vaccination of the flu."
This study has been published in a journal called Advanced Science. It analyzed the data related to 116 countries from 2012 to 2024. It was learned that the fluid cases had declined by an average of 46 percent during Kovid’s sanctions. But as soon as the restrictions were reduced in 2022, flu cases increased by 132% in the same winter season.
Where strict restrictions are imposed, more flu cases
Researchers also stated that in countries where strict restrictions were imposed during Kovid, there was a higher jump in flu cases. Therefore, scientists have urged health departments that whenever there is an epidemic in the future, plans should be made keeping in mind the danger of ‘Immity Debt’.
