Nu variant is highly contagious and Infectious
Nå variant- Nu Variant Covid-19 Advarsel “Nu Variant Covid-19 Advarsel” Nu Variant Covid-19 Advarsel, 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.
In a study published in Nature journal, a team of researchers from India and other countries has found that the NU variant (or B.1.1.529 lineage) was eight times more likely to escape immunity gained through AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccines compared to the original virus.
Også, the NU variant was six times more likely to re-infect people who have recovered from Covid-19.
I følge UCL i løpet av samme uke, this new Covid variant accounted for more than 80% av nye saker i USA. Helseeksperter sier at det er typisk at en ny stamme av et virus er mer smittsom fordi det ofte blir mye mer effektivt og lett overført.
I lokalsamfunn med lavere vaksinasjonsrate, spesielt landlige områder med begrenset tilgang til omsorg, the Nu variant could be even more damaging. Dette er allerede sett rundt om i verden i fattigere land der COVID-19-vaksinen ikke er like tilgjengelig. Helseeksperter sier at effekten kan merkes i flere tiår fremover.
Den dominerende COVID-19-belastningen har satt fokuset tilbake på forebygging
1. Nu is more contagious than the other virus strains.
2. Uvaksinerte mennesker er i fare.
3. Nu could lead to ‘hyperlocal outbreaks.’
4. There is still more to learn about Nu Variant.
5. Vaccination is the best protection against 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.
Selvfølgelig, 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
