World Health Organization officials reassured that the omicron variable Omicron ‘Invisibility’ or ‘Ghost’ is just as light as the original version BA.1 From the strain, as Corona cases in the United States decreased by 30% over the past week, with the virus continuing to exhaust, according to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”.

World Health Organization officials said:WHO), the omicron variable Omicron ‘Invisible’ is light just like the original version of the dynasty, got dynasty BA.2, has been given the nickname “stealthy” due to its ability to evade detection through some sequencing, while it is believed to be more contagious than its predecessor. BA.1 However, officials are not concerned about the strain causing another increase or causing more harm to people.

Dr Boris Pavlin, a member of the WHO’s coronavirus response team, said during a briefing: BA.2 Now, we are not seeing any major obstacles higher in hospitalization than expected,” he said, explaining that vaccination significantly protects against severe diseases, including Omicron, BA.2 Location BA.1 Quickly, its impact is unlikely to be significant, although more data is needed.

The British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, said the variant was first discovered last month in Denmark and the United Kingdom, and soon it began to spread in both countries, while some cases were found. BA.2 In the United States, not enough cases have been arranged to be considered a major concern.

Last week, Dr. Pavitra Roychodhury, a bioinformatics expert at the University of Washington in Seattle, told DailyMail.com Substrains of emerging variants were common during the pandemic, and while the nickname “stealthy” they acquired might sound intimidating to an ordinary person, this does not mean that the strain BA.2 They are more of a threat than other versions of the alternative.

Unfortunately, the lack of detection has led some people to refer to this as a hidden variable, which seems a bit scary.

Experts also have not yet seen any reason to believe that BA.2 It can avoid the natural immunity provided by previous infection from BA.1With only 8 US states reporting increases in the past two weeks, and only Minnesota recording a jump of more than 40%, nearly every state east of the Mississippi River appears to have already passed the peak of that rise.

While many hope that this massive wave of infections will lead to an end to the pandemic, as many people will have natural antibodies against the virus, the newspaper said.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former president of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said:FDA) and current board member of Pfizer Pfizer Vaccination is believed to be necessary to maintain an adequate level of protection.

He added, while vaccine protection is generally considered more robust and effective than naturally occurring immunity caused by a previous infection, as a member of the Board of Directors of Pfizer The manufacturer of the most widely used vaccine in the United States has the drive to support vaccines.

And he added, the average number of deaths in the United States is 2,541 deaths per day, up 12% from last week’s average of 2,271, and with cases declining, this number is likely to peak and decline in the near future as well.

The US isn’t the only country seeing a decline in cases, the average number of coronavirus cases in the UK is around 90,000 a day as of Monday morning, a drop far from the peak of more than 180,000 cases earlier in the day. This month.

In response, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced last month an end to all pandemic-related restrictions, including ending mask mandates and work-from-home orders, and testing requirements for Britons to return in the coming weeks will also be scrapped.

Denmark was among the countries worst affected in the world by Omicron Omicron Also in December, cases in the country are still rising steadily, reaching 43,000 cases per day, clearly at their peak and deaths have remained low for the Nordic country throughout the pandemic.
