South Africa, the most corrupt African country by the coronavirus, finds itself in a second or second market with a new most transmissible and allied variant, called 501.V2, and these mercury battles with a record of 8 deaths and 44 deaths. deaths and 21,832 new infections.
Although South Africa has been suffering from infection control since August, in recent months the numbers of new day-to-day contagions have been rising rapidly, especially in the provinces of Cabo Occidental, Cabo Oriental, KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng. December.
This is what the new variant says:
IS THE NEW VARIANT MORE PELIGROSA?
“At the moment, there is no evidence that the new variant will be associated with a mayor pregnant or the results”, the South African governor said in a statement on 19.
The only thing that stands out is investigations into having a viral charge that makes it more transferable, because it’s more easy to counteract the virus if it has been exposed to it.
“We are very pleased that it is likely to be a more transmissible variant, with sinuses similar to the current ones, and we do not believe that it causes any more harm”, assured in statements to local media Professor Tulio de Oliveira, director of the science platform the University of KwaZulu-Natal, which coordinates the genetic analysis of the virus at the national level.
Without embarrassment, “the burden of dealing with many more infected people will increase beyond the limit on our sanitation system, which will translate into the death of more people. The problem is the number of people”, Oliveira warned.
¿TENDRÁ EFECTO LA VACUNA SOBRE ELLA?
According to the information available to scientists now, there is no indication that this new variant is resistant to the unlocked vehicles to combat the SARS-CoV-2.
“We do not have any indications that there is an impact on the vacancies that are being administered. This is the information that we have now and the investigations that are underway”, signaled these remarks to the technical officer against the covid-19 of the World Organization of the Salud (OMS), Maria Van Kerkhove in the seminal meeting of experts of this agency of United Nations with Internet.
The Director of Emergency Medical Services of the OMS, Mike Ryan, indicates that the new variations of the United Kingdom and South Africa “do not mean that the coronavirus has a different form” and explained that it is common that, when a virus is dead, it has a variante más contagiosa, no más mortal.
However, the Oxford University immunologist John Bell, who took part in the creation of the vaccine developed by this institution and AstraZeneca, made statements to the British media that there was “a great sign of interrogation” about the effectiveness of their preparation. ante la nueva variante sudafricana.
¿CÓMO SE DESCUBRIÓ ESTA VARIANTE?
The new variant saliu la la despie de que un fuerte aumento de casos en la provincie de Cabo Oriental llamase la attención de la red de la laboratorie nacional que estudie la genetics de virus.
There are about 200 coronavirus samples in more than 50 health centers in this province, South African scientists found a “very unusual” result, in Oliveira’s words.
In order to find between ten and two different variants in small percentages -habitat has entances- hallaronon a unique variant dominant in a 90% of infections.
Without embarrassment, it is important to note that there is a variant and no agreement, Professor Ian Sanne, a member of the Committee on the Covid-19 in Sudafrica, spoke in the local media about the “very serious mayoral preoccupation” with which equivaldría “empezar de cero”.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE OF OTHERS?
The 501.V2 differs from other variants located with anteriority in that various of its mutations are located in the pico protein proteins, the part of the virus that is one of the receptors of the cells that enter a human organism.
These proteins are also the main objective of the antiquities that are created during the vacancies.
This is the second variant known to have expanded widely in the world with mutations in this zone, despite the discovery in the United Kingdom and that, agreed with Oliveira, poses “a different origin”.
In the antecedents of this new variant, South Africa was the most polluted nation by the coronavirus of the African continent and, at the end of January 6, there were 1,150,000 cases and 31,368 deaths, if they had the mortality rate in this the last digit can be much higher.
In all, Africa has registered more than 2.9 million contagions, around 70,000 bankruptcies and 2.3 million cases, according to the latest data from the Centers for the Control and Prevention of Africa (CDC Africa).
