Recently, there have been positive cases of Omicrong in Tianjin, Anyang, Zhuhai and other places, and according to the published situation, some of them belong to overseas imports. A mutated strain of the new crown pneumonia virus in Olmikron, it spreads quickly, is highly insidious and penetrating. Moreover, among the newly infected people in Tianjin in this epidemic, there are more minors, so some media say that children are more likely to be infected with Omi Kerong, which makes many parents more panicked.
Is this really the case? Are previously vaccinated against Opmiquerong useful? Do I need a fourth shot?
Olmikeron is the fifth variant after alpha, beta, gamma and delta variants. The first appearance was in South Africa, where it was detected in a sample of COVID-19 cases on 9 November 2021. It soon spread across the globe.
British experts say there are at least 32 mutations in Omi kerong that improve the virus's immune evasion and infectivity. Once human beings are infected, they will leave sequelae such as lung fibrosis and physical decline, and lose their lives.
In the face of the menacing Amy Kerong, the world is monitoring research. Its transmissibility, pathogenicity and resistance are a matter of concern to all. Unfortunately, there is no definite conclusion at present and further research is needed.
The reason why many minors are infected in Tianjin is because the first batch of infected people occurred in the custody class, so there are more children, but this does not mean that this virus is easy to invade children.
And in the later tests, the proportion of children among infected people is declining, and the proportion of adults is gradually increasing, so it is too early to say that children are susceptible, and it should be said that the whole population is susceptible.
The reason why Omikejong is highly occult is because the current Omilon may have been transmitted to the third generation, and the clinical manifestations are not prominent, resulting in many patients having no symptoms, thus causing occult transmission.
Seeing this, are you often relieved, not so nervous.
Moreover, on January 15, Zhang Wenhong, director of the National Center for Infectious Diseases And director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, brought two good news in an exclusive interview with CCTV News:
At present, studies including variants have shown that the new crown vaccine has a significant effect on reducing severe illness and mortality, in fact, this can be seen from the fact that most of the infected people in Xi'an are mild and ordinary, and the third dose of the new crown vaccine can increase the antibody level by dozens of times.
As for whether to take the fourth shot, don't be so anxious, there will be more international experience for us to refer to.
And after the coming year, whether it is the level of immunity in the population, or the immune barrier established through vaccines, and then to the listing of new crown treatment drugs, it means that this may be the last cold winter, next year's Spring Festival, maybe we can go home happily for the New Year.
However, the Spring Festival is approaching, and we still need to take adequate precautions:
Timely third dose of COVID-19 vaccine
Wear masks, it is recommended to use disposable medical surgical masks, ordinary disposable medical masks, medical protective masks, etc., and it is not recommended to use activated carbon masks, cotton, cloth masks, because they have large gaps and the material is not fine enough to play an effective role in protection;
Wash your hands frequently and wash your hands before meals, after going to the toilet, when you go home, after touching garbage, etc. Pay attention to washing your hands with running water and use soap or hand sanitizer, rubbing time should be greater than 20 seconds, pay attention to the inside and outside of the palm, between the fingers, the wrist should be cleaned in place;
Keep your distance, when communicating with others, please keep a safe distance of more than one meter, 2 meters away will be safer;
Avoid gatherings of people and minimize or do not go to places where people gather.
