A The new version of the Covid-19 He is currently under observation World Health Organization (WHO). Called NB.1.8.1 And comes from the famous Omicron. This does not seem more serious than other options, but more contagious than some. At least this is what follows from the analysis of his mutations made by WHO.
It is about 10.7 % of the sequences, which were reported in the middle of the world. Therefore, it would not be unusual for him to become a dominant version of the Covid-19.
The latter could pass two reasons. On the one hand, because we see that cases are clearly increasing. And, on the other hand, because the countries in which they are currently Typical summer tourist directionsFor example, many cases were found in places such as Thailand or the MaldivesAll these are the reasons for why someone keeps it under supervision. But do not deceive the headlines. WHO has options for COVID-19 under supervision continuously. The risk with NB.1.8.1 is not more than with the vast majority of them.
What do we still know from Nb.1.8.1?
In fact, the exact thing is not that NB.1.8.1 is a new version of the COVID-19, and the new version of SARS-COV 2. This is a virus. Covid-19 is a disease. In any case, this is usually called a colloquial way. However, it should be noted that, as we have already seen, this comes from Omicron. The first analysis, conducted by those who excludes that this is a more serious option than others of Omicron. Nevertheless, this can be something more contagious than some of them. This is mainly from the three mutations. First Increase the affinity of the virus using ACE2 receptors This acts as an entrance door for infection in our cells. Viruses have proteins that bind to these receptors as a key to blocking. The more polished the shape of the key, the easier the infection will be. It seems very well polished, it can increase Viral transmission.
On the other hand, NB.1.8.1 has a mutation, which moderately reduces the ability to neutralize some types of antibodies. The virus enters into force, and part of the defense cannot attack it. In addition, that this happens with the third mutation, with which evasion from other antibodies improves. A new group of defeated soldiers.
In short, this new version of the Covid-19 has a greater ability to join the cells and To evade some types of antibodiesA field but not all or great efficiency. It is important to emphasize that modest reduction the ability to neutralization.
As soon as the infection occurs, the symptoms are ordinary with any variant of the COVID-19 obtained from Omicron: Fever, chills, coughing, sore throat, mokeo, fatigue, headache and pain in the body.
The positive part lies in the fact that the last vaccines seem to be encountered correctly. Therefore, risk people who are usually the most vaccinated will be well protected.
New version of Covid-19-Risk?
It is true that a global incident increase was discovered due to the discovery of this new Covid-19 version. However, from who they indicate that this is the peak of diagnoses comparable to the one that has occurred Last year on the same dates. This makes it clear that NB.1.8.1 is not the cause. It will be normal for us after the holidays, when we move more and interact with many people, we increase cases. This happens every year. However, the new version of the Covid-19, even more infectious than others, This does not cause any disaster.
It is important that he remains under supervision and that we continue to take the same measures as always. Because it reminds us of this is that the Covid-19 never disappeared. We must take precautions, especially when we have symptoms of a respiratory virus, and we will spend time with vulnerable people. Tests and masks are still available in pharmacies. Let’s not forget that they exist. But not because now we have NB.1.8.1 nearby. We must continue to use them if necessary.
