COVID IS STILL WITH US Even though the number of infected daily in Thailand fluctuates, it is still in the hundreds digits. Don’t neglect to protect yourself by wearing a surgical mask. And social distance Thai men have recently been infected with Thailand’s first South African strain of COVID after returning from Tanzania and into state quarantine. With doctors confirming this strain There is no widespread outbreak in Thailand.

So as not to let everyone be careless You must know that at present this virus “COVID MUTED” There are at least 3 variants from the description of “Assoc. Dr. Thira Worathanarat”, Faculty of Medicine. Chulalongkorn University states that the first species is British. It has spread to dozens of countries around the world. And is expected to be the cause of the outbreak in America since late December 2020 spread to dozens of states across the country. It is expected to be the species dominating the outbreak in America in the coming months. Additionally, research in the UK found that it spreads about 50% faster than the original species, and was 35% more severe or fatal than before.

The second species is South Africa. There are some mutations that are similar to that of the British. Which now spread to many countries outside South Africa It has been found in the United States since January 2021, with concern because it is resistant to the current vaccine. Antibodies against strains that are induced by several available vaccines To a lesser extent than the original species And the effectiveness of prevention of infection with symptoms was lower than the original strain. Efforts are now being made to better cover the South African species. It took several months for adjustments and put into testing before going live.

The other is the Brazilian species. It was first detected in 4 travelers from Brazil to Japan. And found in America since the end of the month Jan ago In this strain, 17 genes were altered, three of which occurred in the viral thorn protein, where it binds to human cells.
Recently, the University of Nottingham in England is looking to invent a vaccine that, in addition to stimulating the immune response to the spike protein, the protein that forms the viral genetic material known as the nucleotide protein. Ocapsid (nucleocapsid protein) into it, hoping to stimulate the immune system capable of manipulating new strains. It is the future of the virus. Because even though the virus will mutate But often changes the nature of the thorn protein It rarely changes parts of the viral genetic material.
“As far as I know It is now through animal lab research. The immune boosting effect was found to have as good an antibody level as With current vaccines But have a higher level of cellular immunity And are going to research in person Looks and there is hope. “
Along with reiterating clearly The situation of the outbreak in Thailand now. Still not safe Regardless of the area Must be strictly protected Live with consciousness Because these two waves of battle are long It’s not easy yet. If you monitor the situation closely It was found to be likely that someone was infected without knowing it. Or have not received many more tests And most recently, during the Lunar New Year in crowded cities, gatherings, and travel, there is a chance to see an outbreak of the COVID outbreak. May be seen at the end of the third week Until the end of February.
