Pregnant women infected with COVID-19 are about 25% more likely to deliver their babies preterm. This is according to data released Monday by the U.S. Advertisement Just over 10% of babies in the United States are born preterm, according to the CDC. "The proportion of preterm live births among women with COVID-19 infection during pregnancy was higher than that in the general population in 2019." This suggests that pregnant women with the disease infection might be at risk for preterm delivery." agency researchers wrote. Still, the findings are preliminary and describe primarily women with 2nd and 3rd trimester infections.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wants Americans to know: COVID-19 is nothing like the seasonal flu. According to Gizmodo, a new CDC report reveals people hospitalized with COVID-19 are over five times more likely to die than those hospitalized for influenza. Also, the risk of serious complications like pneumonia and shock is significantly higher from the novel coronavirus than from the flu. Gizmodo reports that compared to flu patients, COVID-19 sufferers are at increased risk for 17 respiratory and nonrespiratory complications. They are also 19 times more likely to develop acute respiratory distress syndrome, a life-threatening condition that fills the lungs with fluid. Heart inflammation, pneumonia, liver failure, shock, blood infections, and brain bleeds are among the other complications more likely in COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 patients also stay in the hospital longer than flu patients, taking approximately 8.6 days versus three days.
While scientists and public health experts expend laserlike focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, another scourge is slowly marching forth. According to Business Insider, experts say bacterial infections are in the process of becoming a COVID-19-level threat. The CDC says nearly 3 million Americans per year contract an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection. Of those, roughly 35,000 die. At current rates, the WHO estimates that around 10 million people could die from antibiotic-resistant infections annually by 2050. What's more, the pandemic has shown how unprepared the US health system is to handle the growing threat of bacterial infections. Many scientists are pinning their hopes on phages, a type of virus that can target and kill specific kinds of bacteria.
