In the two years since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the new crown virus has been constantly transforming, and the ability to spread and conceal is getting stronger and stronger. British media recently said that the Aumecreon mutant strain has appeared "new variants" again, and the contagiousness and concealment are more rapid than the Omicron. When will the endless coronavirus end its "transformation"? U.S. experts said that the Omikejong mutation is not the "terminator" of the new crown virus, and the new crown virus may never disappear.
The "new variant" of Omicron spreads faster and more stealthily
From Alpha and Beta, to Delta, Ramda, and now the latest "poison king" Omikejong, since the new crown epidemic, the virus has been like an undead "little strong", which has been mutating and iterating, causing the recurrence of the epidemic. Recently, the British health department studied that there is a "new version" of Omi kerong again!
Recently, many researchers around the world have stated that the Subtype variant of the Omiljung strain "BA.2" has appeared, and there is a trend of spreading and rising in many countries.
According to experts, there are three subtype variants of the Omikejun strain: BA.1, BA.2 and BA.3. Among them, BA.1 was the earliest discovered, BA.3 is currently only found in dozens of cases around the world, and BA.2 currently has a tendency to spread and spread, which has also aroused great concern from all parties.
Experts say that compared with the original form of Omi Kerong, "BA.2" is more "cunning" and "arrogant", it is not only more contagious, but also has its own "hidden function", and even escapes the barrier of the vaccine, so some researchers call it the "stealth version" of Omilon.
According to the data released by WHO, the "BA.2" strain has been found in the genetic sequences uploaded in more than 40 countries and regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark and so on. Among them, Denmark has the highest number of cases of infection with this strain.
According to the UK Health Safety Agency, more than 400 confirmed cases of "BA.2" strain infection have been found in the mainland, the earliest of which can be traced back to December 6 last year, but it is not yet possible to trace the origin of BA.2.
The head of the British health department also said that although it is not yet possible to determine whether BA.2 will cause more serious diseases, it is speculated that new mutated strains may continue to appear in the current epidemic situation.
US experts: Omi kerong is not the end of the new crown virus or the eternal existence
In the two years since the emergence of the epidemic, the new crown virus has been playing "transformation" and "upgrading", when will it "stop"? The Study of Stanford Medical Experts in the United States said that the Omiljung variant is not a sign of the end of the new crown epidemic, and there will be a new new coronavirus in place to continue to attack humans, and the new crown virus may never disappear.
Recently, an article by the U.S. Institute for Health Indicators and Assessments recently caused a dramatic response predicting that half of the world's population will be infected with Omikron, and that infection will help humans build stronger immunity and prevent future viral mutations, and the new crown epidemic is likely to turn around in March this year.
The article said that the number of new crown infection cases in the United States has increased sharply, the number of infections is three times the peak of last year, but the number of hospitalizations has not increased, so it is speculated that 40% of the future infected people will be asymptomatic infections, vaccination will also greatly reduce severe patients and deaths, and the new crown epidemic will be close to the case fatality rate of influenza in the future. Although the new crown virus will not disappear, the new crown epidemic will end in the near future.
This view is also shared by a number of other medical experts. French experts believe that although the Omiljung infection is still at its peak, there have been some signs of improvement, indicating that the vaccination of the new crown vaccine and the immunity of the human body after infection are taking effect, and it is expected that in March this year, the epidemic prevention and control will usher in the dawn.
However, some experts are worried that the new crown pandemic will not end soon, and we should maintain a high degree of vigilance against the mutation of the Omiljung strain and the rapid spread caused by the new variant, and it is still possible that the continuous mutation of the virus will lead to the recurrence of the epidemic in the future.
