Risk of death following COVID-19 vaccination or positive SARS-CoV-2 test in young people, England: 8 December 2020 to 25 May 2022 An average of 4,111 cases per day were reported in United Kingdom in the last week. Cases have increased by 1 percent from the average two weeks ago. Deaths have increased by 8 percent. Saniasiaya J, Islam MA (April 2021).

For those that do need hospitalisation, the incidence of long-term effects is over 50%. [14] Long COVID is an often severe multisystem disease, with a large set of symptoms. There are likely various, possibly coinciding, causes. [14] Organ damage from the acute infection can explain a part of the symptoms, but long COVID is also observed in people where organ damage seems to be absent.

Starting June 18, data for Scotland will include testing results from the U.K. Government’s Regional Testing Centres, in addition to data from NHS Laboratories. Scotland did not update data from June 15 to June 17 while preparing this change. Available evidence suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was originally harboured by bats, and spread to humans multiple times from infected wild animals at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan in December 2019. [399] [400] A minority of scientists and some members of the U.S intelligence community believe the virus may have been unintentionally leaked from a laboratory such as the Wuhan Institute of Virology. [405] [406] The US intelligence community has mixed views on the issue, [407] [408] but overall agrees with the scientific consensus that the virus was not developed as a biological weapon and is unlikely to have been genetically engineered. [409] [410] [411] [412] There is no evidence SARS-CoV-2 existed in any laboratory prior to the pandemic. [413] [414] [415] Wen W, Zhang H, Zhou M, Cheng Y, Ye L, Chen J, etal. (November 2020). "Arrhythmia in patients with severe coron

In June, initial results from the randomised RECOVERY Trial in the United Kingdom showed that dexamethasone reduced mortality by one third for people who are critically ill on ventilators and one fifth for those receiving supplemental oxygen. [491] Because this is a well-tested and widely available treatment, it was welcomed by the WHO, which is in the process of updating treatment guidelines to include dexamethasone and other steroids. [492] [493] Based on those preliminary results, dexamethasone treatment has been recommended by the NIH for patients with COVID‑19 who are mechanically ventilated or who require supplemental oxygen but not in patients with COVID‑19 who do not require supplemental oxygen. [494] The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission made the first public announcement of a pneumonia outbreak of unknown cause on 31 December, confirming 27 cases [433] [434] [435]–enough to trigger an investigation. [436] Most scientists believe the virus spilled into human populations through natural zoonosis, similar to the SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV outbreaks, and consistent with other pandemics in human history. [399] [400] According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change several social and environmental factors including climate change, natural ecosystem destruction and wildlife trade increased the likelihood of such zoonotic spillover. [401] [402] One study made with the support of the European Union found climate change increased the likelihood of the pandemic by influencing distribution of bat species. [403] [404] Jan. 31, 2022:England changed their case calculations to include reinfections from earlier in the pandemic.

[261] The cornerstone of management of COVID-19 has been supportive care, which includes treatment to relieve symptoms, fluid therapy, oxygen support and prone positioning as needed, and medications or devices to support other affected vital organs.
