New Mutant Coronavirus strain found in UK-Is it more dangerous? Will it impact vaccination?

Candid InVoice December 22, 2020

Shocking and fearing news came from UK, that a new mutated coronavirus strain found in UK which is considered to be more dangerous and have the ability to spread very quickly, even faster than current coronavirus. Countries are suspending flights services from and to UK as a step to prevent this dangerous virus. The new virus is having transmissions capabilities 70 times that of current virus, which is very shocking and heart breaking to hear.

Shocking and fearing news came from UK, that a new mutated coronavirus strain found in UK which is considered to be more dangerous and have the ability to spread very quickly, even faster than current coronavirus. Countries are suspending flights services from and to UK as a step to prevent this dangerous virus. The new virus is having transmissions capabilities 70 times that of current virus, which is very shocking and heart breaking to hear. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his chief scientific advisers said the new version would increase COVID-19 transmission by 70 percent and increase R or fertility numbers by 0.4 percent. Public Health England (PHE) announced on December 13 that it had identified 1,108 cases with this version, "mainly in the south and east of England". Last week, a new SARS-CoV-2 variant caused a rapid increase in Covid-19 cases in southern and eastern England. This is referred to as the VUI (Variant Under Investigation) 202012/01 or B.1.1.7 lineage. The new UK variant, called VUI-202012/01 or Lineage B.1.1.7, was first spotted on September 20 in Kent County. Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced the existence of the reform on December 14; This was confirmed by the COVID-19 Sequencing Consortium of Public Health England and the UK. Officials have already informed the World Health Organization about the variants. This variant defines 14 as seven of the spike proteins, the proteins that mediate the entry of viruses into human cells. These are very big changes compared to the many variants we have aired worldwide. Preliminary analysis suggests that it is more permeable than previous variants. COG-UK has identified one of these mutations as "N501Y", which binds to a key protein in the human cell ACE2 receptor in the region of the spike protein. This is an indication that change is, in theory, more contagious. How Dangerous is new mutated coronavirus strain? Studies are in progress to get a complete report about the new mutated covid-19 virus, yet now the exact impact on mortality is not recorded but the studies are in progress. Shocking evidence has shown that infection rates have increased faster than expected in the geographical areas where this particular species is prevalent, and modelling evidence has shown that the current transmission in this variant has a higher rate of transmission than other variants. The New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threat Advisory Group (NERVTAG), which advises the UK government on the threat of new and emerging respiratory viruses, said the new variant is likely to increase the number of recurrences by 0.93. It said the new version was "moderately confident" that it would "show a significant increase in transmission capacity compared to other variants". The Chief Medical Officer stated that there was no such disease, which would change the severity of such disease in terms of mortality or change the severity of COVID-19 cases in infected people. Work is underway to verify this. Impact of new mutated coronavirus on current vaccination? Many countries started the process of vaccination and some countries even started distributing vaccination, but the news of mutated coronavirus became a big question mark for all. Everyone is concerned about the vaccination and the biggest question now is “Whether the vaccine has the capability to defend the mutated coronavirus”. Several coronavirus vaccines have been developed to target antibodies to spike proteins. Vaccines target multiple areas in the spike, but one mutation point indicates change. Therefore, if there is a mutation, it does not mean that the vaccine will not work. Mutations continue and new virus variants survive or disappear depending on our immune response and ability to multiply and transmit, said Arindam Maitra, a professor at the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics. But all SARS-CoV-2 strains are genetically similar to each other and scientists do not expect these mutations to have a significant impact on their ability to produce a more serious disease than has been observed so far. In short, the virus has not left the world and there are strong chances that new or second phase of attack can happen around the world. 2020 was an eventful year and what will be 2021? So please continue with our self-care and prevention because if mutated virus attacks the world, then the situation will be out of control. If you take it lightly then just remember the second phase of plague and its impact. So stay safe, stay healthy and follow covid-19 protocols.
