The fact that the Omicron variant is better distributed does not mean that it is more dangerous. This was said to bTV by the virologist Prof. Radostina Alexandrova. According to her, however, this raises many questions, because even with the weight of the “Delta” option, this rapid spread could cause a lot of trouble.
According to initial estimates, Omicron could be 3 to 6 times better in distribution, she said.
An article has been prepared in South Africa which says that after the waves caused by the Wuhan variant, the Beta variant and the Delta variant, now the chance of those who have suffered from COVID being reinfected is three times higher. , compared to the previous two waves “, added the virologist.
According to her, the European Center for Disease Control is closely monitoring what is happening, with 212 cases in Europe as of December 6.
New variants will appear as the virus spreads, as it mutates only when it multiplies, and this happens in infected people, the virologist explained.
“That is why it is very important for us to stop, to minimize its spread, for which both vaccines and measures help. One without the other obviously cannot “, noted Prof. Alexandrova.
