Situación actual relativa a la variante ómicron

0
El 26 de noviembre de 2021, la OMS, siguiendo el consejo del Grupo Consultivo Técnico sobre la Evolución del Virus SARS-CoV-2- en inglés, clasificó la variante B.1.1.529 de este virus como variante preocupante. Además, decidió denominarla con la letra griega ómicron. La decisión de considerar preocupante esta variante se basó en la evidencia presentada al Grupo Consultivo Técnico, que indica que presenta varias mutaciones que podrían afectar a las características del virus, por ejemplo, la facilidad para propagarse o la gravedad de los síntomas que causa. A continuación se resumen los conocimientos actuales a este respecto.

Conocimientos actuales sobre la variante ómicron

En Sudáfrica y en todo el mundo, los investigadores están realizando estudios para conocer mejor muchos aspectos de la variante ómicron y continuarán informando de los resultados que obtengan a medida que estén disponibles.

Transmisibilidad: todavía no está claro si, con respecto a otras variantes, como la delta, la variante ómicron es más transmisible (es decir, si se propaga con mayor facilidad de una persona a otra). El número de personas que han dado positivo en las pruebas de detección ha aumentado en las zonas de Sudáfrica afectadas por esta variante, pero se están realizando estudios epidemiológicos para determinar si ese aumento se debe a esta variante o a otros factores.

Gravedad de la enfermedad: todavía se desconoce si el cuadro clínico de la infección por la variante ómicron es más grave que el ocasionado por otras variantes, incluida la delta. De acuerdo con los datos preliminares, las tasas de hospitalización en Sudáfrica van en aumento, pero ello podría deberse a que hay más personas que han contraído la infección y no necesariamente a que se hayan infectado por la variante ómicron. Por el momento, no hay datos que indiquen que los síntomas asociados con esta variante sean distintos a los ocasionados por otras variantes. Es cierto que los primeros casos notificados fueron de estudiantes universitarios y que las personas más jóvenes tienden a presentar un cuadro más leve de la enfermedad, pero es probable que tardemos días o semanas en conocer la gravedad de los síntomas causados por esta variante. Debido a que todas las variantes del virus que causa la COVID-19 —incluida la delta, ahora mismo dominante en todo el mundo— pueden producir síntomas graves y la muerte, sobre todo a las personas más vulnerables, la prevención sigue siendo fundamental.

Eficacia protectora de la infección previa por el SARS-CoV-2

Los datos preliminares indican que, en comparación con otras variantes preocupantes, el riesgo de reinfección por la variante ómicron puede ser mayor (es decir, las personas que han tenido COVID-19 antes podrían infectarse de nuevo por esta variante con más facilidad). De todos modos, la información es todavía limitada. En los próximos días y semanas tendremos más datos a este respecto.

Eficacia de las vacunas: la OMS trabaja con sus asociados técnicos para conocer los efectos que pueda tener esta variante en las medidas adoptadas para combatir la enfermedad, incluidas las vacunas. La vacunación sigue siendo fundamental para reducir la frecuencia de los cuadros graves de la enfermedad y las defunciones, incluso en el caso de la variante delta que, en estos momentos, es la dominante. Todas las vacunas utilizadas actualmente continúan previniendo con mucha eficacia los síntomas graves y la muerte por COVID-19.

Eficacia de las pruebas actuales: las pruebas de PCR que se vienen usando ampliamente siguen detectando la infección por las distintas variantes del virus, incluida la ómicron. Se está estudiando la eficacia con que otros tipos de pruebas, especialmente las de detección rápida de antígenos, pueden detectar esta variante.

Eficacia de los tratamientos actuales: los corticosteroides y los antagonistas de los receptores de interleucina 6 seguirán tratando eficazmente los cuadros graves de COVID-19, y se estudiará si los demás tratamientos continúan siendo eficaces contra la variante ómicron, habida cuenta de los cambios que presenta en varias partes de su estructura.

Estudios en marcha

La OMS está coordinando a un gran número de investigadores de todo el mundo para conocer mejor la variante ómicron. Ya se han iniciado o se pondrán en marcha en breve estudios para evaluar la transmisibilidad, la gravedad de la infección (incluidos los síntomas) y la eficacia de las vacunas, las pruebas diagnósticas y los tratamientos.

La OMS anima a todos los países a que contribuyan a recoger e intercambiar datos de enfermos hospitalizados a través de la Plataforma mundial de datos clínicos– en inglés, de la OMS sobre esta enfermedad con el fin de que podamos conocer cuanto antes las características de la enfermedad que causa y el desenlace clínico de los pacientes.

En las próximas semanas dispondremos de más información. El Grupo Consultivo Técnico de la OMS sobre la Evolución del Virus SARS-CoV-2 continuará recopilando y evaluando los datos disponibles para conocer el modo en que las mutaciones de la variante ómicron alteran el comportamiento del virus.

Medidas recomendadas para los países

Puesto que la variante ómicron se considera preocupante, la OMS recomienda varias medidas a los países: aumentar la vigilancia y la secuenciación de las muestras tomadas de los casos; intercambiar las secuencias genómicas en bases de datos abiertas, como la GISAID; notificar a la OMS los casos o conglomerados de casos iniciales; y llevar a cabo estudios de terreno y evaluaciones analíticas para conocer mejor si la variante ómicron presenta características distintas en lo relativo a su transmisibilidad y a la enfermedad que causa o si afecta a la eficacia de las vacunas, los tratamientos, las pruebas diagnósticas o las medidas sociales y de salud pública. En el comunicado hecho público el 26 de noviembre puede encontrarse más información a este respecto.

Los países deberían continuar aplicando las medidas de salud pública de eficacia demostrada para reducir de forma general la circulación del virus causante de la COVID-19, basándose en el análisis de los riesgos y en un enfoque científico. Además, deben aumentar su capacidad de respuesta mediante recursos médicos y de la salud pública para hacer frente a posibles aumentos en el número de casos. La OMS continúa proporcionando a los países apoyo y orientaciones tanto para prepararse frente a las infecciones como para actuar frente a ellas.

Del mismo modo, es fundamental reducir las desigualdades que afectan al acceso a las vacunas contra la COVID-19 para asegurarnos de que, en todos los países, se administran la primera y la segunda dosis de las vacunas a todos los grupos vulnerables de la población, incluidos los trabajadores de la salud y las personas mayores, además de ofrecerles de forma equitativa las pruebas diagnósticas y los tratamientos que necesitan. 

Medidas recomendadas para la población

Las medidas más eficaces que toda persona puede tomar para reducir la propagación del virus causante de la COVID-19 son mantenerse a una distancia de al menos un metro de las demás personas, llevar una mascarilla bien ajustada, abrir las ventanas para ventilar las estancias, evitar los lugares abarrotados o poco ventilados, mantener limpias las manos, toser y estornudar en la flexura del codo o en un pañuelo desechable y vacunarse cuando les llegue el turno.

La OMS continuará informando de las conclusiones de las reuniones del Grupo Consultivo Técnico sobre la Evolución del Virus SARS-CoV-2 y de otros datos de que pueda disponer. Además, seguirá publicando información en sus plataformas en línea y sus cuentas en las redes sociales.

Texas Establishes First of Its Kind Designation of Natural Gas Facilities for Energy Emergencies

0

Today Railroad Commission of Texas commissioners adopted rules for critical designation of natural gas infrastructure to help protect Texans in energy emergencies.

The new rules implement provisions in House Bill 3648 and Senate Bill 3 and define natural gas facilities that would be designated as critical gas suppliers and critical customers.

Critical gas suppliers include, but are not limited to, gas wells, oil leases that produce gas, natural gas pipeline facilities, underground natural gas storage facilities, and saltwater disposal facilities.

Critical customers, which are a subset of critical gas suppliers, are facilities that require electricity to operate. These operators will submit critical customer information to their electric utilities so that their electric utilities have the correct information for purposes of supplying power to the facilities.

Senate Bill 3 includes language to allow for certain facilities to apply for an exception to the critical designation. However, the newly adopted rules exclude certain types of highly critical facilities from being able to apply for an exception. Examples include any facility that will be on the state’s electricity supply chain map, which is due to be published next year, underground gas storage facilities, pipelines that directly serve a power generation plant or local gas distribution companies, gas wells, and oil leases that produce a large amount of gas per day, and gas processing plants. Applications for exception require objective evidence proving reasonable cause and justification, which will be reviewed, and RRC staff can deny an application.

“It has been wrongly reported that for $150 any company can be exempted from preparing for winter,” said RRC Chairman Wayne Christian. “The $150 is a fee set in statute two decades ago for all applications for exceptions. It is just an application fee, not a get-out-of-jail-free card. No company will automatically receive an exemption and applications can and will be denied.”

“The Commission adopted a ‘critical designation’ rule to ensure our natural gas supply is prepared for future energy emergencies,” continued Christian. “With the passage of this rule, critical facilities including more than 19,000 of the state’s natural gas production facilities will be required to weatherize and be prepared to operate in future winter weather events. Despite what you may read in the news, no one is getting a bailout, and no one is getting a loophole.”

“Meaningful and responsible implementation of Winter Storm Uri legislation has been a top priority for myself and the Railroad Commission of Texas since February,” said RRC Commissioner Christi Craddick. “I appreciate the efforts of agency staff and stakeholders, whose hard work and diligence will benefit all Texans.”

“I am proud of the Railroad Commission’s work to incorporate the comments we received from stakeholders and the public,” said RRC Commissioner Jim Wright. “Today’s rule strikes an appropriate balance to ensure those operators that are substantially contributing to the natural gas supply chain are identified and designated as critical while also recognizing the need for electric utilities to have flexibility during load shed events to ensure that electricity is available to the residents and families who need it.”

Rules adopted today to address the issue that some critical gas suppliers were not eligible for critical load designation and had their power cut off inadvertently during Winter Storm Uri. Critical gas facilities are now able to and required to, submit their information to electric utilities. Electric entities will use this information to plan load-shed procedures during an energy emergency.

There are several more steps that will be implemented to help fortify the state’s energy supply. The RRC and the Public Utility Commission of Texas have been working on mapping the state’s electricity supply chain and natural gas infrastructure along that chain. Since this fall, RRC inspectors have been visiting gas facilities and leases to observe winter preparation measures.  On Oct. 7, the RRC issued a notice that asked natural gas operators to take all necessary measures to prepare for the upcoming winter.

Alley Theatre’s World Premiere Comedy High School Play: A Nostalgia Fest Begins January 21  

0

Helmed by a Texas-born playwright and Houston-born director 

The Tony Award®-winning Alley Theatre announces the cast and creative team of Texas-born and raised playwright Vichet Chum’s world premiere comedy High School Play: A Nostalgia Fest. The play is directed by native Houstonian Tiffany Nichole Greene and runs from January 21 – February 13, 2022, in the Hubbard Theatre.

Vichet Chum is a Cambodian-American playwright and theatre-maker originally from Dallas, Texas and now lives in New York City. Tiffany Nichole Greene, a Houston native, splits her time between Hamilton as Resident Director of the Philip Tour and freelance directing in theatres across America. Both Chum and Greene hold MFA degrees from Brown University/Trinity Repertory Company where they met and have remained close friends since, championing each other’s work over the years. Greene, in fact, brought Chum’s play to the attention of Alley Theatre where it was developed in the 2020 Alley All New Festival and Alley at Ucross Residency.

It’s 2003, senior year in Carrollton, Texas, and Riverside High School’s competitive theatre troupe is climbing back to the top from last year’s unprecedented loss. Dara is trying to rally his teammates, while new kid Paul disrupts Dara’s complete understanding of himself and his small-town suburban life. When coaches Dirkson and Blow make a bold choice for the one-act play competition and the community takes issue, friends, and rivals duke it out and find themselves in this uniquely Texan and thoroughly universal coming-of-age comedy.

 “I adore High School Play. I laughed out loud the first time I read it. Then when Vichet was working on it during the Alley at Ucross residency, we would read sections out loud and it made me laugh even more to hear it spoken,” said Alley Artistic Director Rob Melrose. “But it wasn’t until I saw the full reading at the Alley All New Festival that I realized how moving it was. It is no mean feat to write a play that is hilariously funny and deeply moving at the same time, but Vichet has done it. Whether you participated in the UIL One-Act Play Contest as a kid or watched your kids participate as an adult or are someone from outside of Texas, like me, simply having wonderful memories of high school theatre, this play will make you laugh until you cry and bring back some of the most important memories of growing up. I’m so proud that the Alley is presenting this wonderful world premiere.”

“Conversations around gender expression, sexuality, and race in this country are much different now than when I was in high school in the early 2000s,” shares playwright Vichet Chum. “Still, it is a grave mistake to believe that prejudice goes away when cultural and societal norms shift. In fact, right now in 2021, we are arguably witnessing the greatest movement to progress and its greatest resistance. High School Play: A Nostalgia Fest hopes to show how much has changed in almost twenty years and at the same time, how much more important work there is still to do. And to show that as a young person in face of a community that denies them, the journey to be the most authentic version of yourself is a personal and perilous one. This play endeavors to be a love letter to today’s, yesterday’s, and tomorrow’s youth… to offer them grace, power, and love to face that very journey.”

The cast of High School Play: A Nostalgia Fest includes Alley’s Resident Acting Company members Melissa Pritchett as Ms. Blow/Mrs. Simms and Todd Waite as Dirkson/Mr. Bland. Rounding out the cast are Ricardo Dávila as Rich, Sabrina Koss as Kailee, Mai Le (For Steve Wozniak, on His 67th Birthday, Alley All New Reading of High School Play: A Nostalgia Fest) as Allison, Kiaya Scott (Stages’ The Fantasticks and Little Shop of Horrors) as Sophie, Jarred Tettey (A Christmas Carol) as Paul, and Daniel Velasco (Alley All New Reading of High School Play: A Nostalgia Fest) as Dara.

The creative team of High School Play: A Nostalgia Fest includes Scenic Designer Michael Locher, Costume Designer Ari Fulton, Lighting Designer Kevin Rigdon, Sound Designer Melanie Chen Cole, Stage Manager Rebecca R.D. Hamlin, and Assistant Stage Manager Ethan Mitchell.

Record 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season Ends

0

Image did not load.

November 30, 2021, marked the official end of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
There were 21 named storms this season with seven hurricanes, four of which were classified as major hurricanes. It is the second consecutive year in which the full list of storms was exhausted. Tropical Storm Ana formed on May 20 and the final storm, Hurricane Wanda formed on October 31.
Only Hurricane Nicholas directly impacted Harris County, passing along the Texas Gulf Coast in mid-September. No injuries or deaths are attributed to Nicholas and damage in Harris County was minimal. Flooding and structure damage was reported in several counties to the south.
The Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HCOHSEM) encourages residents to be prepared for disasters through the year.
“While we were fortunate to avoid severe tropical weather this year, planning for disasters should be a year-round effort,” said Harris County Emergency Management Coordinator Mark Sloan. “Winter Storm Uri is the perfect example of an event that can have greater impacts than a hurricane or flood event.”
This year is also noteworthy as the National Hurricane Center began issuing Tropical Weather Outlook beginning on May 15, two weeks prior to the actual start of the season on June 1. NHC cited increased tropical activity in the Atlantic basin in late May as the reason for this change.
HCOHSEM encourages residents to stay prepared and informed before, during, and after hurricanes or other disasters. Sign up to receive emergency alerts at www.readyharris.org and closely monitor the news media. Your local officials and this office will provide information about current conditions, evacuations and recovery. Follow at ReadyHarris on social media for information and preparedness tips.
About HCOHSEM
HCOHSEM is a national model of best practices in emergency planning, preparation, response, and recovery. HCOHSEM helps prepare, safeguard and protect the residents and property of Harris County from the effects of disasters through effective planning, preparation, response, and recovery activities. HCOHSEM partners with regional transportation, industry, healthcare, education, and non-profit groups to ensure Harris County is resilient and ready to respond to any emergency. Harris County is the third largest county in the United States, covering 1,777 square miles.

Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs Selects Two Houston Artists to Commission Photography and Sculpture Artwork for New Sunnyside Health and Multi-Service Center

0

The City of Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs (MOCA) announced today the selection of two local artists whose work will become an integral part of the new Sunnyside Health and Multi-Service Center.

Creative concepts from Houston-based visual artists Jesse Lott and Irene Antonia Diane Reece were selected out of more than 92 artists and artists groups for commissioning and will debut with the opening of the new facility.

“Our city’s multi-service centers provide social services for communities in Houston and address the needs and well-being of multiple generations – from our elders to our young mothers and their children,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “Having artwork that captures the unique character of our local communities and the richness of our histories and cultures will make our multi-service centers feel like an extension of home.”

Houston renowned artist, a long-time Fifth Ward resident, and recently named Texas State three-dimensional artist for 2022 Jesse Lott, will create The Dreamcatcher, a sculpture to be installed on the exterior of the center. The community will have a hand in deciding key elements of this work.

“The voices of local residents will help guide the central imagery of the sculpture—whether it’s a sun, a family, or another element that encompasses the spirit of Sunnyside,” said Lott. “The community will also be engaged to source materials that are authentic to the neighborhood for incorporation into The Dreamcatcher.”

Native Houstonian, contemporary artist, and visual activist Reece will produce That Sunnyside Pride, a collection of original photographs to be featured in the interior public entrance of the center. Reece plans to invite the community to be a part of the photography selection process to ensure historical and present-day attributes of Sunnyside are represented.

“It’s important that this body of work showcases every aspect of [Sunnyside’s] authenticity,” said Reece. “I want to include and uplift the community’s multi-generational voices by featuring the families, community leaders, and historical sites that makeup Sunnyside.”

“We are more than excited to see art commissions developed for the City by such accomplished artists and are embracing this work as a tremendous opportunity to support intergenerational collaboration and to encourage community engagement for the sake of art,” said MOCA director Necole Irvin. “Both artists will bring to our collection artworks imbued with qualities and characteristics unique to Sunnyside, borne from their working closely with residents from the neighborhood.”

Operated by the Houston Health Department, the Center will provide social services, including educational and technology resources, access to healthy nutrition, senior services, and more.

The Sunnyside Health and Multi-Service Center art project was made possible through the City of Houston’s Civic Art Program, managed by MOCA, which provides exciting opportunities for Houstonians and visitors to engage with art in public spaces. Under contract and in partnership with MOCA, Houston Arts Alliance administers these city-funded public opportunities to acquire, manage and conserve the City of Houston’s public art pieces.

MOCA congratulates these visionary artists as they embark on their projects and thanks all applicants for their dedication to the arts in Houston.
