Dr. Thira Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thira Worathanarat, M.D., Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Facebook post Thira Woratanarat Post an update about ‘COVID 19’ which now has been mutated continuously until the latest Omicron subspecies EG.5.1 and BA.2.86 found to have more immune resistance XBB.1.16 with previous outbreaks
EG.5.1 More resistant to immunity XBB.1.16 the previous epidemic
The latest research from a Columbia University team United States, published in medRxiv on Aug. 22. point out that EG.5.1 Which is in the subspecies of Omicron which recently occupied the second largest proportion of the global epidemic after XBB.1.16 have more immune resistance XBB.1.16 In addition, the F456L mutational position of EG.5.1 It also results in increased resistance to many monoclonal antibodies.
This is another evidence that suggests that EG.5.1 There will be more opportunities to expand the outbreak in the last quarter of this year around the world. As the World Health Organization has classified in the Variants of Interest group as well as XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.16 that had caused ripples earlier this year
BA.2.86 Another confirmed case was detected in Ohio, USA.
Last night, there was a confirmed case report. BA.2.86 Another case in the United States, in Ohio, provides proof of a relationship between real community infections. with the findings in the waste water reported several days ago. BA.2.86 That caused concern around the world. because there are many mutation positions and is expected to result in the virus having various performances more and more unusual Until it may lead to a pandemic in the future, however, the world is now closely monitoring. And the results of this virus study should be out in the next few weeks.
Cases have now been reported in several continents, including the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa, including Israel, Denmark, the United Kingdom, the United States (including those traveling from Japan) and South Africa. and was reported to be detected in community wastewater Both in Switzerland and Thailand (now in the Netherlands there are preliminary reports but awaiting confirmation of genetic test results)
Should live a conscious life, not careless, always protect yourself. wearing a mask correctly It will greatly reduce the risk. From seeing around in society The vast majority of infections come from lack of self-defense. Whether it’s with trust, trust, or carelessness. Therefore, health consciousness is the key. stick each time Risk of getting sick, dying and Long COVID too. Prevent yourself from getting infected. or not repeating is the best
