England finds new mutant COVID-19 from South Africa It creates widespread concern about the outbreak. Study finds British and South African mutants It is similar to the mutation in the thorn protein, making it more susceptible to infestation.
Today (24 Dec 2020) This Christmas is a tough time for England. After the outbreak of COVID-19 tends to be more severe. The government recently raised disease prevention measures in London and the East to the highest level. Last Saturday The outbreak of COVID-19, the B.1.1.7 mutant, spreads 70% faster than the other strains, before Britain last night’s encounter with another mutant from South Africa. Even more worries
When tracing a new mutant from Africa From the statement of the British Health Minister Two African mutants were exposed to a South African infection a few weeks ago. The incident prompted the British to quarantine the new infected. And immediately suspended travel from South Africa It also ordered people with history to travel to South Africa in the past 14 days and immediately detained close contacts.
Compare the two types of mutants in England
Although the British and African mutants are different, they share the common point of mutation in the spiny protein area. Mutations at this point allow the virus to better bind to human cells and facilitate broad transmission. But at this point, there is no clear conclusion about whether people infected with the two types of mutated viruses also have more severe symptoms. But viral mutations are a naturally occurring mechanism of survival for one or two locations per month. Concerns about the mutated virus have prompted the UK to expand a rigorous control area on Dec. 26.
Many countries continue to impose restrictions on travel from the UK and South Africa to prevent disease. As Christmas is always a risky time, the more mutants are found, the greater the risk. Which is like the US state of New York Hardwoods will be used for 14 days of quarantine for foreign tourists to prevent mutations. In addition, it may have been lessons learned from Thanksgiving as it is a key factor in increasing the number of infected people.
Keep an eye on Thanksgiving, the repeated epidemic
Thanksgiving is one of the catalysts for the deteriorating COVID-19 epidemic in the United States. Epidemiologists believe the increase in infections is in part linked to family reunion during the festival. Which is the reason why experts campaign for the people Avoid agglomeration In Christmas and New Year
Asst. Prof. Pokrath Hangsuart, Head of Department of Virology Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University states that most of the time when the virus comes from animals to humans. Viruses tend to adapt better to humans. Less weak But can spread more But the issue that will affect vaccines will have to wait in the future. While this shouldn’t be too frightening, it’s important to prevent infection. To minimize viral mutations as much as possible
Back in the Thanksgiving season, more than 3 million Americans were used to domestic flights, although the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Warn people to avoid traveling back and forth to prevent disease. The Transport Safety Agency collects user statistics through security checkpoints at various airports. Most people traveled since March Although it is almost double the same period last year.
Data suggest that the COVID-19 outbreak is likely to intensify after Nov. 26, in particular, with at least 1,000 consecutive deaths since the end of the month. Nov until today At the same time, the number of people in the hospital has increased that the hospital In many states, there is an overpopulation problem. California hospital admissions rose 156% from the holiday season to Dec. 17, and lessons from Thanksgiving have raised concerns that the situation will worsen toward the end of the year. This is because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do most of the time only give people advice on how to treat them.
The US management Giving the power of each state to be responsible to prevent the measures from being coherent. You must keep track of how many Americans will return to their homeland during this Christmas and New Year.
