I-NU variant iyathathelana futhi iyatheleleka kakhulu
Manje Okuhlukile- encazelweni engenzeka yokusabalala ngokushesha kwabasafufusa “Hhayi” okuhlukile kwegciwane le-SARS-CoV2, Ucwaningo olusha luthole lokhu okuhlukile (B.1.1.529) inekhono eliphakeme kakhulu lokutheleleka nokugwema ukusabela kokuzivikela komzimba okwakhiwe ngokusebenzisa izifo noma zokugoma kwangaphambilini.
Ocwaningweni olushicilelwe e-Natural Journal, Iqembu labacwaningi abavela eNdiya nakwamanye amazwe lithole ukuthi i-NU iyahluka (noma b.1.1.529 uhlu) yayinamathuba ayisishiyagalombili ngaphezulu ukuze iphunyuke kakhudlwana itholakale itholwe nge-AstraZeneca noma imigomo yokugoma ye-pfizer ngokuqhathaniswa negciwane lokuqala.
Futhi, Ukuhlukahluka kwe-NU kuncike kasithupha ukuthelela kabusha abantu abasetholile kwi-Covid-19.
Ngokusho kwe-UCL phakathi neviki elifanayo, lokhu okusha I-COVIAL ehlukile kubalwe okungaphezu kwe 80% yamacala amasha e-U.S. Ochwepheshe bezempilo bathi kuyinto ejwayelekile ukuthi uhlobo olusha lwegciwane lutheleleke kakhulu ngoba kaningi lusebenza kahle kakhulu futhi ludluliswa kalula.
Emiphakathini enamazinga aphansi okugoma, ikakhulukazi izindawo zasemakhaya ezingenakho ukuthola ukunakekelwa okulinganiselwe, Ukuhlukahluka kwe-NU kungalimaza ngokwengeziwe. Lokhu sekuvele kubonakala emhlabeni jikelele emazweni ampofu lapho umuthi wokugoma i-COVID-19 ungatholakali kalula. Ongoti bezempilo bathi umthelela ungazwakala emashumini eminyaka ezayo.
Uhlobo oluphambili lwe-COVID-19 lubuyisele emuva ekuvikeleni
1. I-NU iyathathelana ngaphezu kwamanye amagciwane.
2. Abantu abangagonyiwe basengozini.
3. I-NU ingaholela 'ekuqubukeni kwe-hyperlocal.’
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.
Kunjalo, 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
