So far, available studies and information show that the new mutant of the Corona virus “Omicron” causes mild symptoms compared to the previous mutant of the virus.
But severe infections with “Omicron” can be more severe than before, according to the British “Economist” magazine.
The magazine said that the new mutation has a high capacity to spread, which means that it can spread more than previous strains, but the good news is that its symptoms are mild.
The problem with the mutant is that it is still so new that health officials may not find healthy options to treat severe cases.
She stated that once a person becomes severely affected by “Omicron”, which requires hospital treatment, doctors may have fewer options for treatment compared to previous mutants, such as monoclonal antibodies.
Omicron appears to be able to evade most of these objects, which means that the mutant could put a huge strain on hospitals around the world.
The magazine said that the nature of the new mutation and the speed of its spread mean that hospitals around the world are concerned, due to the increase in the number of people transferred to them due to infection with the mutation, at a time when they do not have the necessary medical personnel.
These matters show that the person with a difficult injury to “Omicron” will face a big problem while receiving treatment.
A recent study conducted by Columbia University concluded that “Omicron” can bypass vaccines, antibodies and even booster doses, making it more contagious than its predecessor.
These measures may mitigate the severity of the mutation, but unvaccinated people are at greater risk.
