Epidemic｜April or a new variant of the virus Liang Zichao: It is not ruled out that earlier, the lethality may not be reduced
[08:00] The new coronavirus has been raging around the world for two years. According to the latest data analysis, almost every wave of epidemics, a new variant virus will appear every 100 days, triggering a new wave of large-scale global transmission. It is estimated that Omicron may change again as soon as April this year, and a new variant virus will appear.
Liang Zichao, a specialist in respiratory system, pointed out that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but the timing depends on the global anti-epidemic strategy. For example, some countries adopt the policy of "coexisting with the virus", which may cause the virus to mutate faster due to mass transmission. speed.
The transmission of the new coronavirus is at a high level when the patient is first onset or not admitted to the hospital. "Currently (the virus) may have been highly adapted to human transmission." It is described that the new variant virus does not necessarily need to reduce its lethality, but can still achieve high transmission. It’s hard to think that the virus will naturally weaken.”
