Health experts have warned that the chaos in China over Corona could lead to a “doomsday” variable that would bring the world back to square one in combating the epidemic, according to the British Daily Mail.
Forecasts indicate that up to a million people may die in the coming months, and experts have warned that this may lead to the emergence of a new strain and its spread globally.
Symptoms of the “doomsday” mutant that sparked panic in the world
Symptoms of the rapidly spreading new Chinese Corona mutant start from 5 days and end with 7 days of infection.
Experts emphasized that the mutant is not a source of concern, because it is a sub-mutant of Omicron, noting that the new mutant has no disturbing effects and its deaths are minimal, although it is rapidly spreading.
They added that the doomsday mutant attacks the respiratory system less than others, but it has the ability to spread widely, according to information received from China and official websites..
Symptoms of a mutant doomsday
Experts confirmed that the new “Doomsday” mutant begins its symptoms with a high temperature, fever, and shortness of breath, noting that the symptoms of the Corona virus and the mutants that appeared later are the same and there is no difference in them, and these symptoms are represented in high temperature, fever, and shortness of breath. Breathing, difficulty in movement, a sense of tiredness and exhaustion, and the appearance of a rash in some cases, indicating the need to obtain vaccinations. coronaEspecially the stimulatory dose, for its role in strengthening the body’s immune system to confront the virus and its various mutants.
They added that it is important to obtain the full dose, whether the first or the second, and everyone who has been vaccinated for more than 6 months must go to the Corona vaccine vaccination centers and obtain the dose..
And the British newspaper “Daily Mail” confirmed that hospitals in China have filled and morgues since Beijing turned against the zero Corona policy last month, and it is believed that low immunity – down to poor vaccination rates and a lack of previous infections is the driver behind the wave..
Experts are now warning that the outbreak of the new variant, which shows no signs of slowing, could have global ramifications – including for Britain and the United States..
Professor Martin Mackey, a public health expert at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said that China’s surrender threatens the emergence of new strains, stressing that the epidemic is not over yet.
So far, China has kept death rates very low, but has failed to take advantage of the time to raise vaccination rates, especially among the elderly, explaining that this has consequences for China, with high death rates and possible political instability, but also for the world, with the risks of new variables and disruptions in the chain of transmission. Supply.
Unfortunately, we still have a lot to do to increase vaccination rates globally, but also to reinvigorate efforts on pandemic preparedness..
It is right to say that the epidemic is not over, said Dr. Simon Clarke, a microbiologist at the University of Reading, the developed world has moved to a different stage, the threat of new variants will always be with us, and the lack of immunity conferred by vaccination in some parts of the world makes that more likely. , and I think it is doubtful that it will completely eliminate this risk, explaining that we have previously seen how easy it is to move variables around the world and I think it is unlikely that there will be political will to prevent this from happening again.
Professor Peter Hotez, a virologist at Baylor University in Texas, added that the increase may lead to new strains such as the deadly delta variant that fueled the spring wave of 2021 in the West, stressing that the subspecies of Omicron BF.7 Omicron that are believed to be behind the current outbreak have not been shown to have an advantage over variants in the West.
Professor Paul Hunter, a public health expert at the University of East Anglia, said: “I don’t think the situation in China would pose a significant additional risk to many other countries. After all, most of the rest of the world has hybrid immunity.”.
The BF.7 variant of Omicron is said to be leading the wave in China but on a global scale this variant doesn’t seem to have any growth advantage versus the other variants, another variant could and probably will appear, they do that all the time, but it seems like every A new variant has an increasing decreasing benefit compared to the previous variants, and the hybrid immunity provided good cross-protection against severe diseases from the new variants as well as the old variants.
