Geneva: more evidence arises that the omicron variant affects the upper respiratory tract, causing symptoms that are lighter than the previous variants and produce “decoupling” in several places between the number of launch cases and a low mortality rate, the official said on Tuesday.
“We see more research shows that Omicron infects the upper body.
Unlike others, the lungs will cause severe pneumonia,” said the Manager of the Abdi Mahamud incident told reporters.
“It can be good news, but we really need more research to prove it.” However, also heard attention, Mahamud said the high transmission of Omicron means that it will become dominant in a few weeks in many places, pose a threat to the medical system in countries where most residents remain not vaccinated.
While Omicron seems to slip the past, evidence arises that the vaccine still provides protection, by giving rise to the second pillar of the immune response from the T cell, he said.
“Our prediction is protection against hospitalization and severe death will be maintained.
The challenge has not become a vaccine but vaccination and achieving vulnerable.” Reuters.
