Kolkata: In July last year, a 61-year-old doctor in Delhi was the first in the country which would be shocked by the Coronavirus novel twice, caused by the Alpha and Delta variants, 22 days apart.
This time in Kolkata, as a very contagious Omicron variant swept a large number of households every day, the number of reinfection threatens to solve all records.
A large number of individuals have been positively tested not once or twice, but three times, including many in the range only 16 months.
Everything was vaccinated twice before signing a virus for the third time.
Fashion and Asansol Designers, MLA Agnimitra Paul were diagnosed with Covid for the third time earlier this week.
Paul himself tweet about it on January 5 “I have tested Covid Positive.
Third time.
But don’t worry.
I’m fine.
I will follow the Covid guidelines & will soon join the job.
Covid spreads quickly, so wear a mask, Use cleaners, keep distance …, “he posted on Twitter.
He first dropped with Covid for the first time in September, 2020.
The second infection was detected on May 7, 2021 and the third in the first week of January, 2022, his aides stated.
Paul was vaccinated in April, last year.
A study showed that the average reinfection risk rose from around 5% four months after an initial infection of up to 50% at 17 months.
The efficacy of vaccines decreases in six-eight months and reinfection cannot be avoided because the virus continues to mutate, said the Medical Education & Research Institute (IPGMER) Postgraduate (IPGMER) DITIDRA Sarkar.
“Vaccines cannot act as shields in this wave, especially for those who get early shots.
So, we have seen a large number of people vaccinated positive tests.
Many of these have been positively tested for the first two waves, when they were not vaccinated, “Sarkar said.
“Everyone needs to follow Covid safety norms.
What no other needs to be considered.” Trinamool fed, singer and former MP Babul Supriyo, too, has been tested positive for the third time.
“I, my wife, father, many staff, are all tested positive …
and, this is my third time.
First on November 2020, when I lost my Maa and somehow saved my father.
Then again on April 21 and now ..
.
Not really worried about it but a number of individuals are contracted and there is no way to find out who gives it to whom.
Very few wear masks, “he posted online.
CPM leader Kaustav Chatterjee will also be influenced by the third time.
“The third time was influenced by the Covid virus though after completing a dose of 2 vaccines.
The 3rd time was influenced in …
16 months,” he tweeted.
Not only politicians but also a commissioner with police Kolkata, who led the main unit, had to be treated at a private hospital in South Kolkata towards the end of last year after signing the Coronavirus novel for the third time.
A man who is known for his love for exercise and the person who maintains all Covid safety norms all the time, his reinfession has shocked his colleagues.
The Head of the ICMR Balram Bhargava recently showed that there was still no data to find out after how many days someone, who already had Covid, could be vulnerable to Coronavirus novel.
“Someone, who contracted a virus and was healed, developed an antibody that helped him fight the virus.
But the duration of this antibody is believed to be short-lived,” he said.
