  For the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, we hypothesise that the collected data will allow researchers and health-care professionals to better characterise the disease course and spectrum, quantitatively estimate associated risks, and identify specific risk factors that can be used to define screening strategies in pregnant women and adequate prevention meas ures, and to direct specific and early clinical management of women and fetuses at risk. The feasibility of this global responsive and customisable structure for future emergent pathogens is supported by the strong platform of well established collaborations with 198 antenatal clinics from 23 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas (figure).

Such a position, they argued, would enable WHO to better advocate for greater recognition of, and thus action on, the interdependency of health and the economy.

  Clinical characteristics and intrauterine vertical transmission potential of COVID-19 infection in nine pregnant women: a retrospective review of medical records

summary:
  Considering that SARS-CoV-2 has up to 85% sequence similarity with SARS, [11] [12] [13] [14] although none of our patients developed severe pneumonia or died of COVID-19 infection, we should be alert to the possibility that the disease course and prognosis of COVID-19 pneumonia could follow the same trend as SARS in pregnant women. Answers to these questions are essential for formulating the principles of obstetric treatment for pregnant women with COVID-19 infection.

Unlike SARS-CoV, poliovirus is not efficiently transmitted by droplets from person to person, and a vaccine is available that fully protects laboratory workers from disease and reduces the risk of infection, thereby providing additional assurances against substantial consequences should a laboratory accident occur once routine immunisation with oral poliovirus vaccine has stopped.

  Our comprehensive investigation of the tissue tropism of H5N1 infl uenza virus, based on two adult autopsies and one fetal autopsy, focuses on the localisation of viral genomic sequences and antigens. In cultures of human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, H5N1 infl uenza viruses have been reported to infect mainly ciliated cells, which express mainly avian infl uenza virus receptors (α-2,3-linked sialic acids), although a limited number of non-ciliated cells (<20% of all infected cells) have also been reported to be infected.

  Yet, primary health care has been overlooked by the federal government as a key element in this public health crisis response. The gravity of the pandemic in Brazil is evidenced by the current epidemiological facts: Brazil is among the three countries with the largest number of confirmed cases (more than 5 million as of Oct 15, 2020, according to WHO), with high mortality, 3 evidence of underreporting, 3 and a high number of deaths among health professionals, pregnant women, 4 and the indigenous population.

Very few raised two general questions: what else can we expect for world health from potential climate change, and what should we do about present and future risks? At the end of the 1990s, new political and moral trends began to emerge in the world, and new emphasis was given to health and equity in health.

However, given the high need for intensive care of patients, the case fatality rate, and public alarm worldwide, use of stringent measures to limit the effective infectious period of probable SARS cases would seem prudent.
