Original title: More than 80 million cases of VS virus vaccine have been diagnosed in the new world crown Has the end of the game arrived?
Chinanews, December 27 (Zhang Aolin and Chen Shuang) No matter how reluctant they are, this day has arrived.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of December 27 Beijing time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new corona worldwide exceeded 80 million. It took 16 days to increase from 60 million cases to 70 million cases, while the latest increase of 10 million cases took only 14 days.
The growth rate of confirmed cases of the new corona is increasingly rapid, the virus has mutated, increased infectivity and even invaded Antarctica … Although 2020 is coming to an end, the epidemic situation remains very serious.
The virus is “siege”. Under the crisis, vaccines developed by many countries have come out, and vaccines have been started one after another. In this fierce battle against the epidemic, can humanity turn the tide of the battle?
On December 20 local time, the British capital London and some surrounding areas began to improve their epidemic prevention measures to become a four-level blockade control zone. After the news was suddenly announced on the afternoon of the 19, nearly 300,000 residents quickly “fled” via railroads, highways, etc. London.

On December 19, British Prime Minister Johnson announced that the fourth level blockade (the highest level) would be implemented in London and elsewhere. Subsequently, dozens of countries and regions announced that they would take “lockdown” measures against Great Britain.
All of this happened so suddenly because the British discovered a mutated strain of the new corona virus, leading to a rapid increase in the rate of new corona infections in London and elsewhere.
What is the origin of the mutant virus that has strained the nerves of many countries?
On December 22 local time in Ramsgate, UK, trucks waiting to cross the English Channel stopped on the runway at Manston Airport. Faced with concerns about the mutation of the new corona virus, France suspended cargo and passenger travel from the UK.
——After the virus mutates, infectivity increases by up to 70%!
On December 22, the WHO noted that the mutant virus was first discovered in south-east England on September 20 and that its infectivity could increase by up to 70%.
In other words, the mutated virus will make the new coronavirus spread faster from person to person!
As countries respond urgently, British Health Secretary Hancock revealed on December 23 that another mutant virus has been found in this country, which is more infectious.
Additionally, South Africa, Portugal, Brazil, and elsewhere have also discovered new variants of the new coronavirus.
What is more concerning is that the mutant virus appears to be already there, spreading in many countries, including the United States, which has the highest number of confirmed cases …
– “Every 33 seconds, 1 person dies due to the new infection of the crown”
A few days ago, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that mutant viruses may have appeared in the United States.
For the United States, where the epidemic is “out of control,” it amounts to making the situation worse.
According to statistics, more than 330,000 Americans have died due to the new crown. According to Reuters, in the week ending December 20, 18,000 Americans died from the new corona virus, which is equivalent to 1 death from the new corona every 33 seconds.
Faced with the status quo, US President-elect Biden has no choice but to warn: “The darkest days have not passed.”

——The last piece of “pure land” on earth is not immune
Recent news has even sparked public anxiety.
The only “pure land” on earth before Antarctica is also inevitable.
On December 21, Chilean officials announced that the country’s base in Antarctica had a new corona epidemic and that at least 36 people had been diagnosed.
This matter is not trivial!
Some experts said that due to the extremely low temperature in Antarctica, the virus is likely to freeze under the ice sheet.
One day a few years later, if the “change” of the new corona epidemic is “restarted” again, the world that has long since returned to calm may fall back into catastrophe.
On December 5, 2020 local time, in Oklahoma, USA, Santa Claus interacted with tourists in balloons to avoid excessive contact during the epidemic.
—— The “Overseas Spring Festival Transportation” begins and the decline of the epidemic could accelerate!
There are far-sighted things, but more short-term concerns!
Recently, the Christmas and New Year holidays in Western countries have followed one another, and the so-called “Foreign Spring Festival Transportation” has started.
Although all countries have expressed that they will strengthen the prevention of epidemics, the movement of people on a large scale remains inevitable.
Recently, a slogan appeared on the streets of the UK that read: “I just want a gift for Christmas, and that’s 2021.”
Will there really be a change of course in 2021?

If the “battle” between humans and the new corona virus is compared to a ball game,
Obviously, humans are still at a disadvantage.
However, there is still a “key player” who can help humans turn the tide of battle.
“His” name is Vaccine.
On December 8 local time, the UK began vaccinating the new corona vaccine. Medical staff vaccinated Margaret Keenan, a 90-year-old woman. Keenan is reportedly the first public in the country to receive the new crown vaccine.
—— “race” against virus, many countries accelerate vaccination rollout
From the eradication of smallpox to the despair of polio,
Vaccines have always been humanity’s “weapon” to overcome disease.
To contain the new corona epidemic, countries are speeding up vaccine approval and vaccination procedures.
Strive to “get over” the virus.
Today, a number of new corona vaccines have appeared around the world, including the “Pfizer” vaccine, the “Monad” vaccine, and the “Satellite-V” vaccine.
In addition, 15 vaccines in China have entered clinical trials,
Five of these vaccines have entered phase III clinical trials.
On December 3, severely affected Britain urgently authorized the use of the new corona vaccine.
Since then, the United States, Germany, Israel, and many other countries have launched the first round of vaccination. As of December 23, more than a million people in the United States had been “first shot.”
-Is the vaccine against mutated viruses effective?
Although there is a vaccine, once the virus has mutated, are these “sharp weapons” still useful?
In this regard, many WHO experts believe that there is no significant impact.
However, it cannot be taken lightly, many countries are paying close attention to the trend of mutant viruses.
WHO chief scientist Swaminatan also emphasized that the genetic changes of the virus must be continuously monitored and efforts should be made to reduce the rate of transmission of the virus, because the more the virus spreads, the greater the possibility of mutation.

——Are there side effects from vaccination?
In addition to efficacy, the safety of vaccines has also attracted a lot of attention.
Since the start of the vaccine, two Britons and many Americans have experienced allergies and other adverse reactions after receiving the “Pfizer” vaccine.
Although some experts believe that vaccination has some side effects, there is no need to worry too much, but Ryan, the head of the British Health and Medical Regulatory Authority, said before: Anyone with a history of vaccines, medications or food allergies should not receive this vaccine.
In addition, experts from many countries have pointed out that it is better not to vaccinate pregnant women.
To increase the confidence of the American people in vaccines, US President-elect Biden, Vice President Pence, Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi, infectious disease expert Fauci, and others have been publicly vaccinated. In Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu also became the country’s first vaccinator.
On December 21 local time, President-elect Biden of the United States publicly vaccinated the new crown vaccine at a hospital in Delaware, hoping to demonstrate the safety of the vaccine to the public.
2020 is about to end and the epidemic still continues.
However, under normal circumstances, it takes 10 years to develop a successful vaccine, and thanks to the efforts of global researchers, it came out in less than a year.
This is enough to show that global cooperation is inseparable in defeating the virus; And only by working together can we get the final victory! (End up)
