The threat of asymptomatic Coronavirus Cases and what Shortness of Breath implies
You have all been told that the symptoms of the current global health crisis include fever, shortness of breath, coughing, and tightness in the chest. So people manifesting these symptoms have identified with the authorities that they could be suffering the illness. They have been tested, and if found positive, measures can be taken to prevent them from spreading the disease and escalating an already bad situation. But there is a more dangerous aspect of the illness that continues to baffle public health officials, and they are yet unable to provide a solution to the problem. What is this unseen problem you might ask? It is none other but the asymptomatic sufferers of this illness.
Some patients do not manifest or display any symptoms of the illness. No coughing, no shortness or breath or whatever, and they remain oblivious of the fact that they are infected with the disease. This, such cases are never reported to the authorities, and for as long as they go about their daily activities, they risk infecting other people around them. This is because being asymptomatic does not imply that the disease is dormant or unable to be transmitted; the individual might be in a terrible health situation internally without knowing, and continue to spread the disease.
Worse still, most countries are unable to provide sufficient testing for all of their citizens, and reserve testing for citizens who are exhibiting severe visible symptoms of the ailment or who live in demographically high-risk areas Someone who presents no symptom of the illness might not even be considered for testing and would be advised to self-isolate for a period of time. This individual continues to pose a health hazard, even if they self-isolate.
A remedy to this situation would be to implement more testing. House-to-house collection of samples and drive-through testing is simple but very effective ways to control the spread of the disease. This is because it is only when an accurate number of confirmed cases is known that officials can begin to take steps to actively fight the ailment and prevent its spread. Also, the vast majority of people are not aware of what shortness of breath implies. Shortness of breath can be caused by a lot of factors, and should not always be attributed to the ailment.
All forms of shortness of breath involve a tightening and pain in the chest, especially during breathing. It is felt while walking, running, sleeping, or performing various strenuous activities. Common causes of shortness of breath include Anxiety. This form is characterized by brief recurring bouts and attacks of the ailment, which stop after a while. It is mostly triggered by thoughts and does not usually continue for a long period of time. In the case of asthma, the use of an inhaler should provide relief. It is important to know that when an inhaler does not provide relief for this shortness of breath, then the virus in question can be suspected.
This does not necessarily mean that the virus is indeed responsible, and only a test will confirm suspicions.

Bitfinex has continued to expand its services, adding more and more exchange pairs to its portfolio. It is one of the most popular exchanges in the business, despite losing some of its popularity when it stopped offering services to users in the US.

USDT is a tokenized cryptocurrency developed and issued by Tether Limited and has a history of being the subject of a lot of controversies. The crypto is known as Tether and is usually described as a stablecoin because when it was launched, the developers' intentions were that one USDT would always be worth one US dollar. That is, the goal was that one USDT would always be backed by one US dollar. But this was not the case as the price has fluctuated. In mid-October 2018, one USDT was backed by only one ninth of a dollar and then O.74 USD by the end of April 2019.
USK or Upskills is a token of the Upskills freelance service. A notable point is a fact that USK is Ethereum based, making it usable on almost any cryptocurrency trading platform. The announcement of this trading pair was met with more or less no reaction. These two cryptocurrencies are not as popular as some of the others on the service, especially USK which is mostly limited to users of the freelance platform. Therefore, it has not attracted a lot of customers to the platform.
As for the date of announcement of the pair on Bitfinex, this is unclear as some perceived it to be just an effort to widen their trade possibilities. The pair did not create much buzz in the crypto community as has been explained.
However, as the current global health situation continues, more people are turning to freelance to earn income. With this, it is believed interest in the pair will pick up.
