Forms of coronavirus
Coronavirus infection can occur in three forms:
- Easy. Manifests itself in weakness, slightly elevated body temperature (up to 37.5), sore throat, runny nose, chills, other signs of a cold, pneumonia with lung damage up to 30%. A weak dry cough is possible.
- Average. The appearance of excessive fatigue, possible loss of smell or taste, severe dry cough, pneumonia with lung damage up to 50%, elevated temperature (up to 38).
- Heavy. Severe dry cough (almost without respite), high temperature (from 38), pneumonia with lung damage from 50%, gastrointestinal disorders, fever.
Depending on the severity, we can say how long people have been sick with coronavirus. Usually the duration of the disease is about 45-50 days, but if a person suffers a mild form of the disease, then the symptoms may disappear after 2-3 weeks. If the coronavirus is severe, sick leave can last up to 75 days.
From the moment a coronavirus infection enters the body, a person is dangerous to others - even before it manifests itself in one person, it already passes on to another. Therefore, it is important to know how long a coronavirus test can be positive.
WHO explains how long to breastfeed a baby
The World Health Organization estimates that in 2012, 162 million children under five were stunted worldwide and 51 million children had low weight-for-height, mainly due to inadequate feeding or repeated infections. Only about 38% of children under 6 months of age are exclusively breastfed, and in many countries only a third of breastfed children aged 6–23 months receive complementary foods that meet age-appropriate dietary diversity and feeding frequency criteria . The first two years of a child's life are especially important, as optimal nutrition during this period helps reduce morbidity and mortality, reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall child development. About 800,000 children under 5 years of age could be saved each year through optimal breastfeeding of all children from birth to 23 months. WHO and UNICEF recommend starting breastfeeding within an hour of giving birth. It is recommended to breastfeed your baby exclusively for the first six months of life. Up to two years or more, you can continue to breastfeed your child while introducing safe complementary foods into the diet.
Breastfeeding protects the child from gastrointestinal and other infections and reduces neonatal mortality. According to WHO, the risk of death from diarrhea and other infections may be higher among children who were previously partially breastfed or not breastfed at all. Breast milk is also an important source of energy and nutrients for children aged 6-23 months. It can provide half or more of a baby's energy needs between 6 and 12 months and one-third of a baby's energy needs between 12 and 24 months. Breast milk is also an important source of energy and nutrients during illness. Adults who were breastfed as infants are less likely to be overweight or obese. Children and adolescents who were breastfed as infants show higher scores on tests of intellectual development. Breastfeeding also improves the health and well-being of mothers; it reduces the risk of ovarian and breast cancer and allows time between pregnancies - a natural (though unreliable) method of preventing pregnancy, known as the lactational amenorrhea method.

To increase the number of children who are exclusively breastfed, WHO recommends:
- ensure skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby immediately after birth and initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour of the baby’s life;
- breastfeeding on demand (that is, as often as the baby wants, day and night);
- Room sharing (allowing mothers and infants to be together 24 hours a day);
- Avoid additional foods or drinks, even water.
- establish supportive health services that provide advice on infant and young child feeding in all contacts with caregivers and young children: during antenatal and postnatal care, home visits to healthy and sick children and immunization;
Around the age of six months, the baby's energy and nutritional needs begin to exceed the level at which they can be met by breast milk, and mothers need to begin feeding the baby. At this age, the child is ready to eat other foods and is developmentally ready. Failure to introduce complementary foods after the baby reaches six months of age or inappropriate introduction of complementary foods can affect the baby's growth. Therefore, the World Health Organization recommends:
- continue frequent, on-demand breastfeeding until the child is two years of age or older;
- Be sensitive when feeding your baby (for example, directly feed infants and assist older children. Feed slowly and patiently, encourage but not force, talk to your baby and maintain eye contact);
- practice good hygiene and proper food handling;
- Start at six months with small amounts of foods and gradually increase as the baby gets older;
- gradually increase the consistency of food and make it more varied;
- Increase the number of times your baby feeds - 2-3 times a day for children aged 6-8 months and 3-4 times a day for children aged 9-23 months, with 1-2 additional snacks as desired;
- Use fortified foods or vitamin and mineral supplements for complementary feeding as needed; And
- increase fluid intake, including through breastfeeding, and offer soft, favorite foods.

Is it possible to get infected with coronavirus a second time?
Re-infection has been detected in a number of countries. This does not depend on how long people have been sick with coronavirus.
The risk of re-infection is low if a person has had the virus in severe or moderate form. If it was suffered in a mild form, then you should be wary of getting sick again.
After the body has suffered this infection in a mild or asymptomatic form, repeated infection leads to a severe course of the disease.
How often can contrast be used?
Negative consequences from tomography are associated not only with radiation, but also with the use of contrast. Substances that improve detail are eliminated naturally after 1-2 days, but can cause a number of adverse reactions, including attacks of nausea, itching in the injection area and dizziness.
In addition to discomfort, the patient runs the risk of developing immune system hypersensitivity, which means that future CT scans with contrast will be contraindicated.
The attending physician should determine the frequency of use of contrast, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body, age and diagnosis. The area where a person lives also matters.
Residents of contaminated industrial areas and areas located near Chernobyl try to have scans done as little as possible.
Caution must be exercised during pregnancy. MRI is allowed for women during pregnancy, but the administration of enhancing drugs is not.
What influences the duration of copywriting training?
1.Language proficiency
When it comes to any calling, high qualifications are often considered a necessity. And yes, I agree that a doctor should know his job well, both theoretically and practically.
But unless we are talking about specialized fields such as medicine, law and the like, the skill of a copywriter does not require years of training. After all, think for yourself, in order to write a description of an ordinary product, a copywriter does not necessarily have to have a degree in philology.
Of course, if your language skills are not very good, if you cannot compose a literate text, then you need to study. Usually this is taught at school, but circumstances vary. Some simply did not want to study at school, while others could not do it at a normal level.
And of course, the current widespread writing of short messages in instant messengers does not at all contribute to writing skills, which will then be in demand in the work of a copywriter.
What should I do?
2. Amount of practice.
The sooner you start doing copywriting, the faster you will become a copywriter. If you are not yet ready to work with customers, then start writing for yourself. At first, write only for yourself.
Then try various free or shareware platforms such as Voice, Pikabu, Yandex Zen.
If you’re lucky, you can also make money on these sites, but what’s more important is practice with free feedback. You won’t have to pay anyone anything, but in the comments people themselves will comment on your work. And try to speak well.
But even better, start your own blog. I talk about this all the time, and I’ll say it again. A copywriter needs his own blog just as poets once needed a pen so they could write their poems. Yes, theoretically it’s possible without a blog, but it’s better with it.
Ultimately, your blog will become a platform to improve your skills and display your portfolio.
How often should you write? Stephen King once said that a writer should write every day. Of course, a copywriter is not a short story writer, but the habit of writing every day will also not be superfluous for a copywriter.
Honing your skills takes time, so even if you're not getting paid for your writing yet, making a strong commitment to writing every day will help you get started writing professionally on your own. Whether you use this time to write blog posts, or write for social media or your blog, it all helps in building the skills you need.
3.Additional knowledge.
If a copywriter only knows copywriting, then he is a bad copywriter. Of course, purely technically, you can remake someone else’s text and get 100% uniqueness. But in reality, this is not enough. A good specialist should also understand other areas. It could be quantum physics, it could be ice cream making, it could be wallpaper stickers. Anything.
Why is it important?
- Then the copywriter will be able to talk about this in detail. And this will not just be a retelling of someone else’s text. No, this will be a truly new unique text. And such texts are often very noticeable; they simply stand out among thousands of others that are similar to each other.
- Easier to work with. It’s one thing to write about something you have no idea about, and quite another to write about something to which you’ve devoted more than one year of your life.
- It just helps. Of course, knowledge of quantum physics will rarely help you write an article describing the process of gluing wallpaper. But good knowledge will still help. This applies to both a more flexible mind and a greater human experience. Knowing one area thoroughly, it will be much easier to master another area, even if it is not directly related.
To whom can the benefit payment period be extended?
The period for payment of benefits to pre-retirees may be extended.
This benefit is provided to pre-retirees who were dismissed within 12 months prior to the start of unemployment and who have: • an insurance period of at least 25 and 20 years for men and women, respectively, or • the specified insurance period and the required work experience in the relevant types of work, giving the right to early appointment old age insurance pension.
The benefit payment period in this case increases beyond the established 12 months by 2 weeks for each year of work exceeding the insurance period of the specified duration.
The period of payment of unemployment benefits in this case cannot exceed 2 years within 3 years.
By the way, under certain conditions, unemployed pre-retirees may be offered early retirement.
