Nu variant is highly contagious and Infectious
Zdaj Variant- v možni razlagi hitrega širjenja nastajajočega “ne” različico virusa SARS-CoV2, a new study has found this particular variant (B.1.1.529) has a much higher ability to infect and evade the immune response built through previous infections or vaccines.
V študiji, objavljeni v reviji Nature, a team of researchers from India and other countries has found that the NU variant (or B.1.1.529 lineage) je imel osemkrat večjo verjetnost, da se bo izognil imunosti, pridobljeni s cepivi AstraZeneca ali Pfizer, v primerjavi s prvotnim virusom.
Tudi, the NU variant was six times more likely to re-infect people who have recovered from Covid-19.
Po podatkih UCL v istem tednu, this new Covid variant predstavljala več kot 80% novih primerov v ZDA. Zdravstveni strokovnjaki pravijo, da je nov tip virusa bolj nalezljiv, ker pogosto postane veliko učinkovitejši in se zlahka prenaša.
V skupnostih z nižjo stopnjo cepljenja, zlasti podeželska območja z omejenim dostopom do oskrbe, varianta Nu bi lahko bila še bolj škodljiva. To se po svetu že vidi v revnejših državah, kjer cepivo proti COVID-19 ni tako dostopno. Zdravstveni strokovnjaki pravijo, da bi lahko vpliv občutili še desetletja.
Prevladujoči sev COVID-19 se je osredotočil na preprečevanje
1. Nu je bolj nalezljiv kot drugi sevi virusov.
2. Necepljeni ljudje so ogroženi.
3. Nu bi lahko povzročil "hiperlokalne izbruhe".’
4. O Nu Variantu se je treba še veliko naučiti.
5. Cepljenje je najboljša zaščita proti Nu Variant.
What do we know so far about this new Covid variant?
Of the 59 laboratory-confirmed cases of the new variant, three were in Botswana, two were in Hong Kong among people who had travelled from South Africa, and the rest were confirmed in South Africa.
Of course, it is not necessarily time to panic. We simply do not know enough yet about the virulence and transmissibility of this strain. And mutations can work in either direction. But it is further evidence that we cannot assume with Covid that it will naturally evolve to become less potent or simply burn out
