New worries are emerging every day about the coronavirus. Recently, a new type of virus has been detected in the United States in Oregon, which is even more dangerous. It has been found to have a specific type of mutation, which is why it is feared that the vaccine may not affect it. That’s why people have been told to be more careful about the coronavirus. Researchers have so far found a case in point. But genetic analysis says the variant is widespread. It is not made up of anyone.
Brian and Rock, from the University of Oregon Health and Science, said the virus was not transmitted anywhere. Rock and his associates are tracking variants with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The database he shares with scientists.
B.1.1.1.7, detected in the UK, is spreading rapidly in the United States. This variant of the virus is very deadly. The highest number of cases of this variant is expected in the United States in the coming days. This new variant also includes E484K or Eek mutations. The mutation has been linked to the virus, which has spread to South Africa, Brazil and New York.
A clinical trial in South Africa found that the Eek mutation was destroying the immune system and reducing the effectiveness of the vaccine. The B.1.1.7 variant with Eek, which has been identified from the UK, has been described as a cause for scientific concern. Dr. Rock said the virus, identified from Oregon, appears to have developed uniquely.
Scientists say the Eek mutation has appeared in all viruses in the world. But the mutation with B.1.1.7 is worth noting. In the UK, fewer cases have been reported because of this new variant. But here the combination has been made and B.1.1.7 has spread across the country. So scientists have told people not to be afraid and advised to be careful.
