According to Xinhua News Agency, World Health Organization officials warned on the 22nd that the mutated new coronavirus Olmikron strain will become the main epidemic strain in the European region in early 2022, but the world is still "on the road to normal life next year."
According to US media reports, in recent days, there are also medical experts in the United States speculating that Omicron may sweep the united states and may accelerate the end of the new crown epidemic.
According to the latest epidemic model data released on the website of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of infections in The Semikron has accounted for 73.2% of the total number of cases in the United States. Omicron has replaced Delta as the main epidemic strain in the United States. White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci said the percentage was "unprecedented."
For now, some researchers believe that Omi kerong may actually accelerate the transition from a pandemic to a local epidemic, even though in the process, it will cause a lot of illness and death. The researchers explain that survivors may develop "natural immunity" that could help researchers study how to prevent the next coronavirus variant.
Dr. He Dayi, a world-renowned virologist and professor at Columbia University, said that this is just a "speculative" theory, based on the typical behavior of most viruses. The coronavirus has undergone some unpredictable changes in the past two years that are different from the behavior typical of most viruses.
Dr. Bruce Farber, director of the Infectious Diseases Division at the Northwell Health Hospital Network in New Hyde Park, New York, said the best-case scenario would be a highly contagious variant of the coronavirus that wouldn't make most people sick and create some sort of temporary baseline immunity in the United States. But Dr Farber warned that as long as much of the world remains unvaccinated against COVID-19, the coronavirus will continue to spread and mutate.
Recently, the epidemic indicators in the United States have rebounded seriously, and the number of confirmed cases, hospitalized cases and deaths of the new crown has continued to rise. The latest data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the number of new confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States in the past three days is at least 671,000.
As Christmas approaches, U.S. health officials are reminding people to take precautions, wear masks and test in a timely manner. He also pointed out that if people have not been vaccinated against the new crown, they must not think of the Omiljun strain as a variant that only causes mild diseases, "otherwise it will be very dangerous."
