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.
