Corona Virus.
development coronavirus.
The previous days made the whole world in a state of frustration, and this is after the World Health Organization announced the emergence of a new mutant of the Corona virus, which they called Omicron. It is to identify the genetic makeup of the virus and then begin to manufacture antibodies against this structure.
But after a while, the composition can change for two reasons... The first reason is a type of mutation called (Antigenic Drift), and this type of genetic mutations that appear due to reproduction, generation after generation, through which the virus can develop on its own and acquire stronger immunity and become more dangerous.. and the type The second of the genetic mutation is called (Antigenic shift), and this is a more dangerous type. I will give you an example, my friend. Imagine with me that a cell in the human body is infected with a virus.
omicron virus symptoms.
Influenza, for example, and suddenly in the same cell infected again by the influenza virus, a process similar to the cross-breeding between the two viruses may occur, and this will result in a new strain of viruses. At that time, human immunity will be almost destroyed against the new mutant and mutations of this type are what cause Epidemics. The new mutant was first detected on November 9 in South Africa, and about 32 mutations were discovered in
The protein found on the surface of the virus and the World Health Organization warned against this virus because it is more dangerous than any other mutation that we have experienced before. The British virologist (Tom Peacock) said that the number of very large mutations could help the virus to evade human immunity easily and therefore it will spread faster Whether inside the body or among people, and two weeks after the discovery of the virus, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control
The dangers of the omicron virus.
He said that the preliminary data says that the Omicron strain will be the most prevalent strain among all the strains that have appeared. They have real fears that this strain reduces the effectiveness of vaccines and increases the risk of infection again. Also, scientists have confirmed that the danger of the Omicron mutant is greater than that of the Mutant Delta, which appeared a few months ago because the Amicron mutant has the number of mutations in it up to 5 times the mutations in the Delta mutant, although its symptoms are still varying and not specific. But the South African Medical Association said that the most important symptom common to all infected It is fatigue, but different from the rest of the breeds, the loss of the sense of smell or taste is not a symptom.
Flight stops from South Africa.
Because of all this, a large number of countries around the world have stopped flights from and to South Africa.. Britain was one of the first countries to announce the suspension of pilot lines from South Africa and the forced isolation of arrivals from it for a period of 10 days and the imposition of precautionary measures again and for other countries such as America and New Zealand included 8 countries from the south
Africa for the red travel lists and at the same time the Minister of Social Affairs in the German state of Hesse
He said that the Omicron mutant most likely arrived in Germany and also the Netherlands announced the arrival
Cases infected with the virus among people from South Africa. For this reason, Europe entered a state of frustration and panic. In Egypt, the Council of Ministers announced the cessation of pilot flights with South Africa, and confirmed that anyone who came from any country in South Africa will be examined carefully and if it appears. Symptoms of the virus will return from the same plane from which it came.
But not the flights that were affected by the new mutant, everything changed in a day and night, very similar to what happened when the first version of the virus appeared at the beginning of 2020, and so far there is no confirmation .. Will the existing vaccines be effective against the new mutant or not, but it is certain that All the official authorities warn him and make sure to adhere to all preventive measures once again.
And you, my friends, must be careful, because the danger will not end.
