진행자: 최정윤, Paul Kerry Pandemic left Korea more depressed than before: report 기사 요약: 정부가 코로나 위기단계를 가장 낮은 수준인 '관심 단계'로 하향 조정한 가운데 우리나라 성인들이 팬데믹 시기 기점으로 크게 우울해졌다는 조사 결과 나와 [1] The South Korean government downgraded the COVID-19 crisis level to the lowest level on May 1, but a recent report indicates that the years of the pandemic have nonetheless left a lasting mark on people here in the form of depression. * indicate: 나타내다, 보여주다 * lasting: 영속적인, 지속적인 [2] According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency's report on depression in South Korea, 7.3 percent of the adult population experienced depression in 2023. The study was conducted on 230,000 adults across the country, and defined depression as "experiencing at least two weeks of severe depression that caused a hindrance to their daily lives." * hindrance: 방해, 장애물 [3] The portion of those who have experienced depression had been trending downward before the COVID-19 outbreak to mark 5 percent in 2018, which was the lowest figure in the previous 10 years. The figure rebounded to 5.5 percent in 2019 and 5.7 percent in 2020, before jumping a full 1 percentage point to mark 6.7 percent in 2021, 6.8 percent in 2022 and then a 10-year high of 7.3 percent in 2023. * rebound: 다시 튀어오르다, 되돌아오다 [4] "It appears that mental health worsened as the COVID-19 pandemic went on, and even after resuming normal everyday life, we suspect that the country has still not fully recovered," the report said. * resume: 다시 시작하다, 재개하다, 돌아가다 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240502050916   [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰):https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2 네이버 오디오 클립(아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404 팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638

South Korea has become the latest country to declare war on bedbugs following a wave of outbreaks, with bathhouses, university dorms, and train stations across the country on high alert.继臭虫接连在多个国家肆虐后，近日韩国成为又一个对臭虫宣战的国家，韩国各地的澡堂、大学宿舍和火车站都对臭虫高度戒备，严阵以待。Thirty suspected or confirmed infestations have been reported since the end of October, prompting the government to announce a four-week campaign aimed at eradicating the bloodsucking pests.截至10月底，已有30例疑似或被确认的臭虫感染事件上报，这促使韩国政府宣布了一个为期四周的除虫计划。Previously, the country had been practically free of bedbugs following past extermination campaigns, with just nine infestations being reported to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention (KDCA) since 2014.先前，经过多轮灭虫运动，韩国已经基本上见不到臭虫的踪影，自2014年以来，韩国疾病控制与预防中心只收到过9例臭虫感染报告。The sudden resurgence of the pests, which follows reports of similar outbreaks in France and the United Kingdom and an increase in cases in the United States, is spreading alarm among members of the public, with social media awash with pictures and accounts of people's encounters with the insects.继法国、英国臭虫泛滥，美国臭虫数量也与日俱增后，臭虫在韩国的突然泛滥让公众感到恐慌，社交媒体上到处是人们遇到臭虫的图片和描述。Pest control firms have reported being inundated with requests for help while some websites have created dedicated sections to the problem, offering users a place to share tips on how to deal with the pests, with suggestions ranging from avoiding the cinema to standing on public transport.除虫公司报告称收到了铺天盖地的除虫请求，一些网站则专门为臭虫问题开设了一个版块，让用户可以在这里分享关于如何应对臭虫的建议，比如不去电影院或在公共交通工具上站着。Some of the comments reflect both the fear and confusion of a public that has largely not needed to deal with the pests for many years.有些评论反映出韩国民众的恐慌和困惑，大部分民众已经许多年都无需面对臭虫困扰。"Should I throw away all electronics if I spot a bedbug,” asked a user on one website, while another wondered: “If I put double-sided tape around my mattress, would that stop the bugs getting on me?”一名用户在一个网站上问：“如果我看见一只臭虫，我是不是应该把所有电子产品都扔掉？”另一位用户则想知道：“如果我在床垫周围缠上双面胶带，臭虫是不是就咬不到我了？”Another said simply: “I'd rather have the Covid than bedbugs.”还有一个人干脆说：“我宁愿得新冠肺炎也不要被臭虫咬。”While bedbugs do not spread diseases, the itching from their bites can cause a loss of sleep and secondary skin infections if people scratch them too hard. Being bitten by one of the insects – which are less than 1 cm (0.3 inch) in diameter - can also be seen as socially embarrassing.尽管臭虫不会传播疾病，但是被臭虫咬过之处的瘙痒会导致失眠，如果人们挠得太厉害，还会导致继发性皮肤感染。被臭虫（直径不到1厘米）咬到也是一件让人难堪的事情。In the capital of Seoul, the city government is launching a new “Bedbug Reporting and Management System” and a “Zero Bedbugs City, Seoul” initiative, under which it says it will inspect 3,175 lodging facilities, bathhouses, and jjimjilbangs (Korean saunas with rooms of varying temperatures).在韩国首都首尔市，市政府发布了新的“臭虫报告与管理系统”和“零臭虫城市计划”，这一计划将会检查3175家住宿设施、澡堂和桑拿房。The city has said it will also provide pest control support for small housing units known as jjokbang or gosiwon, which typically measure around 3-6 square meters (30-60 square feet) and house some of Seoul's poorest residents.首尔市政府表示，将会为考试院等小型住房提供除虫支援，这种房子通常只有3到6平方米，是首尔最穷的一些人居住的地方。Other areas deemed high-risk include subways and cinemas. The government says its campaign will include periodic steam-cleaning of subway seats.其他高风险地区还包括地铁和电影院。政府表示，除虫活动将包括对地铁座椅进行定期蒸汽清洁。"Bedbugs are developing resistance to the insecticides that we commonly use, so the most effective solution these days is heating. It turns out that a temperature of about 45 degrees Celsius can kill the bugs and the eggs,” said Lee Si-hyeock, professor of Agricultural Biotechnology at Seoul National University.国立首尔大学农业生物技术系教授李思赫表示：“臭虫对我们常用的杀虫剂已经产生了抗药性，因此现在最有效的方法就是高温杀虫。实践证明，45摄氏度左右的温度可以杀死臭虫和虫卵。”He said using a dryer or an iron could be an effective method for eliminating bedbugs and their eggs from fabric.李教授指出，用烘干机或熨斗可以有效地杀灭布料上的臭虫和虫卵。In its “Bedbug Prevention and Response Guidelines,” the Seoul City Government advises people against bringing items with a risk of infestation into their homes. It says high risk items include used furniture and old books.首尔市政府在其《臭虫防治和应对指南》中建议人们不要把有臭虫感染风险的物品带回家。这种高风险物品包括用过的家具和旧书。"Repairing damaged areas such as cracks and wallpaper can minimize potential bedbug habitats,” it adds.指南中还提到：“修补破损的地方，比如裂缝和墙纸，可以尽可能消除臭虫的潜在栖息地。”英文来源：美国有线电视新闻网

20210506南韓施打第一劑AZ疫苗14天後在60歲以上長者保護力達86% https://linshibi.com/?p=39261 今天記者會上宣布，5月10日起開放第七類對象(軍人、軍事機關及國安單位文職人員)以及第八類對象(65歲以上長者)接種AZ疫苗。 張P報告的韓國研究，整理如下。 1.如同英國發布過施打輝瑞和AZ疫苗後的保護力，南韓5日也公佈施打疫苗後真實世界的數據資料。 2.韓國疾病管理廳(Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, KDCA)整理的數據顯示，輝瑞疫苗在第一劑施打兩週後，預防感染的效力為89.7%，而AZ疫苗的效力為86.0%。 3.這數據是從2月26日開始追蹤南韓超過350萬名60歲以上的成年人兩個月，52萬1,133名接受過第一劑輝瑞或AZ疫苗，其他人作為對照組。 4.追蹤發現有1,237人新冠確診，但只有29人是施打過疫苗者，其他1208人都是未打疫苗者。 5.接種輝瑞疫苗是20萬劑，其中4例確診。接種AZ疫苗是32萬劑，其中25例確診。 6.韓國衛生部官員尹泰皓(Yoon Tae-ho)表示，「在我們國家，大約95%死於新冠病毒感染的人是60歲以上的老人，疫苗將大幅降低這些人的風險。」 尹泰皓說，發生副作用的可能性，包括血栓在內，是「極度的低」，而且這些副作用大多可以治癒。 7.在南韓5200萬人口中，目前接種疫苗的比例達到6.7%，南韓設定一項極具野心的目標，希望在9月前為70%的人口施打疫苗，並在11月前達到群體免疫。 8.從5月5日開始，完成二劑疫苗接種且可提出COVID-19陰性檢測，並且沒有任何症狀的南韓人，在從海外旅行返回南韓時，將可免除2週的強制隔離，希望藉此鼓勵更多人接種疫苗。 04b解讀： 1.到5月5日公布已經施打189萬劑AZ疫苗，193萬劑輝瑞疫苗。值得注意的是，我沒有看到任何一例血栓併血小板低下的報告。(我自己用英文查，也請會韓文的朋友查過了，完全沒查到。如果有看到的朋友請告訴我) 張P今天應該要順便說一下這件事呀！ 東方人真的產生血栓的機率就是比西方人低，也許TTS也是這樣，希望如此。 2.比較一下英國在3月1日公布70歲以上的數字是 接種第一劑輝瑞/BNT疫苗28~34天後，保護力61%(95%CI 51-69%) 接種第二劑輝瑞/BNT疫苗14天後，保護力85%(95%CI 79-89%) （但這組人非常少） 接種第一劑AZ疫苗14~20天後就可看出一些保護力 接種第一劑AZ疫苗28-34天後，保護力 60% (95%CI 41-73%) 3.公費施打資格越開放越多了，如果有意願想打疫苗的朋友可能動作要快了。我同溫層聽到的聲音是打氣的確在上升。 新冠疫苗常見問題懶人包 https://linshibi.com/?p=38945 林氏璧醫師的電子名片 https://lit.link/linshibi 歡迎贊助我喝咖啡 https://pay.firstory.me/user/linshibi Powered by Firstory Hosting
