The epidemic situation of COVID-19 Mutants in England are still in critical condition. New cases of the infection continue to rise at high rates. Causing the cumulative total to reach 4 million, and the total death to exceed 1.1 hundred thousand
From the revelation of British Ministry of Health On Friday (Feb. 5) found that in the past 24 hours Have confirmed reports New coronavirus cases 19,114 people while Total number of infected people in the country At 3,911,573, the fifth highest in the world
Part number Deaths from COVID-19 During the same period, there was an increase of 1,014, bringing the total to death at 111,264, which is 5th in the world As well
The report comes up. Amid concerns about the COVID-19 mutation in Britain, which has led to an epidemic of 70% faster than the previous week (February 3), the British Health Office (P. HE) has published a preliminary study on the new mutation of the COVID-19 pathogen. British mutants Which worries experts that Will make a British mutant that spreads quickly It has the ability to neutralize the antibodies that the COVID vaccine produces. Until the vaccine is ineffective

The scientific team of PHE Examples of 214,159 cases of the epidemic Covid (b. 1.17) in England at this time, 11 were found. It is a “recursive mutation” and is a mutation in the same genetic location as that of South Africa and Brazil. This results in an antibody resistance in the body that arises from vaccination.
Virology scholars describe the “E484K” mutation as referring to a mutation occurring on the 484th Genetic Location from “E” originally to “K.” Scientists believe that the mutation at the point This is still a lot in England. But still can’t find only By giving an example of examining people infected with COVID-19 In Liverpool, 32 cases were found to carry the E484K mutation, and some of these mutations were found to mutate independently. Not from a single source
However, it is too early to predict that. This evolution will have an impact on the COVID-19 vaccine. Both in England and in other countries How much Some researchers point out that E484K is a key factor in making trials of multiple vaccines less effective in South Africa, for example the Novavax vaccine. It was 89% effective in Phase III people in the UK, but only 60% in the Phase II trial in South Africa, while the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was 72% effective in the United States. Just result 57% in South Africa
The researchers revealed that both the experimental cases in South Africa were 90-95% of the samples were infected with the most common B.1.351 mutant in South Africa and totaled at E484 K mutations.
About the case of the novel coronavirus that has caused an increasingly rapid pandemic in England and many other countries at this time, Assoc. Prof. Thira Worathanarat, Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Used to post on personal facebook alert that COVID-19 The British mutant called B.1.1.7 or 501Y.v1 was previously confirmed to have made the epidemic faster than ever. But there is no evidence That was said to be more severe than the original species. It was found that the violence was significantly greater than the original strain. This is confirmed by research from three universities – The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Imperial College London, and the University of Exeter – that work in the same direction. In summary British strain mutant virus Will result in death rate 1.65 times or 65% more than before
