The chair of the Parliamentary Health Committee, Representative Assem Araji, declared via a social media post, “Scientific research predominantly indicates the Omicron variant poses a lower risk than its Delta predecessor. However, U.S. hospitalizations and fatalities have risen by 20%, attributable to its rapid transmission rate. “.
He further observed, “This parallel might also hold true for Lebanon.”
He elaborated, “With the global spread of the coronavirus, will widespread infection grant population-level protection or fuel further viral evolution? This query demands observation over the coming months for a definitive response.”
Most studies have proven that the Omicron mutant is less dangerous than the Delta mutant, but the number of patients entering and dying in the United States has increased by twenty percent, given the speed of its spread, the comparison may apply in Lebanon
Corona is sweeping the world, does it constitute societal immunity or lead to new mutations, the question to be answered following several months,— Dr. Assem Araji – Dr. Assem Araji (@dr_assem_araji) January 1, 2022
