On the coronavirus mutation that has put the UK on alert, said the professor Elijah Mosialos in a post on Facebook.
Mr. Mosialos in his post refers to the relationship of the new strain of the virus with children, noting that: “Several reports refer to a possible association of the new strain of coronavirus with children.”
However, he points out that according to the available data, there is no laboratory evidence that due to any biological mechanism the new strain affects children more, nor that there is evidence that the new strain seriously affects the clinical picture in children.
It indicates, citing the relevant source that, “it is a fact that there is a great dispersion in the community, so it is expected that there will be a great -probably asymptomatic- dispersal among children“Saying that” schools were open all this time. So maybe this reported increase is due to the fact that children are more socialized. “
Elias Mosialos’ publication:
New strain of virus and children.
Several reports refer to a possible association of the new strain of coronavirus with children. What we do know is that the virus was first detected around September and accounted for nearly two-thirds of cases, in London and New England, in mid-December.
But
• Is there laboratory evidence that due to a biological mechanism the new strain affects children more? We still do not have that data in our hands.
• Is there evidence that the new executive is overloading the clinical picture in children? There is no such ad.
• Is there an official announcement from NERVTAG or another official UK agency for a detailed age distribution of the new executive? Not yet.
In a statement, Professor Ferguson, a member of NERVTAG, referred to a “clue” that most offends children. Peter Horby, president of NERVTAG, told the Science Media Center this afternoon that by evaluating the data available now they can say, with great confidence, that this variant has a transmission advantage over other variants of the virus currently in the United States. Kingdom.
In other words, it is a fact that there is a large dispersion in the community and therefore a large, possibly asymptomatic dispersion is expected among children.
Why;
Because the schools were open all this time. So maybe this reported increase is due to the fact that boys are having more sex.
Therefore, given that at the moment we do not have data that the new strain is more dangerous, and knowing that the coronavirus is not very dangerous for children, we can wait for the official and exhaustive answers to the previous questions.
At the moment, based on published data, there appears to be no specific cause for concern.
• For dispersal associated with increased risk to children,
• Due to ineffectiveness of vaccines in adults.
If there really does appear to be a greater dispersion in the child population, then it should be traced and studied.
Obviously, this concern from our committee has led to increased restrictions. At the moment, there are some suggestions that, if listened to, schools may not open at the start of the new year. Finally, it seems logical to me that there is a greater dispersion of a new executive among the children because the schools were open, as I said.
It is now clear that the closure of schools was one of the most important measures to stop the first wave of the pandemic after the complete closure (https://science.sciencemag.org/…/12/15/science.abd9338 ). We would have had a great dispersion in Greece in March if the measures I suggested had not been taken in time.
