The young man mutated coronavirus from Kent is 56% more contagious, therefore it will cause more deaths in England in relation to the first wave of the pandemic, even with the imposition of the blockade they warn the members of the scientific committee “WISE” advise the Johnson Government.

As the scientists explain, the mutated virus located in September in London and the south of England, can infect many more people because it spreads faster.

Although there is no evidence to suggest which is more dangerous or deadly“The fact that we have more cases means that we will inevitably have more deaths, experts say, writes the British newspaper” Daily Mail.

Cases of the new mutated virus first settled in LondonIn the east and south-east of England, however, the virus is spreading to other regions.

At a time when experts are trying to clarify the genetic sequence of the new mutant virus, more than 500,000 Britons have already been vaccinated against Covid-19 disease with the injectable formulation from Pfizer and BionTech.

2020 deaths in Britain from complications of Covid disease reached 70,000 with experts pointing out that, with the New Year, and despite the imposition of closures, this number will be significantly higher.

The mutation – called “B.1.1.7” will lead to more deaths simply because it will cause a greater number of cases, which means that more Britons are at greater risk, it will become infected with the mutated virus.

According to the British newspaper, up to 118,000 people could die from complications of Covid disease in 2021warn experts from the “London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.”

They themselves were quick to point out that, just a very fast vaccination schedule with at least two million Britons receiving the first dose of the vaccine every week since early 2021, it could slow the spread of new mutant viruses.

“If a global lockdown is achieved in the country and 200,000 vaccinations are given per week, then Britain would have 83,200 deaths by July 2021, 18% more than this year.” “But if vaccines go up, deaths will drop to 35,700, half of which were in 2020.” experts emphasize.

The teacher John edmunds, The teacher Sebastian Funk and the teacher Rosalind ego, are three of the authors of the study of the scientific committee WISE.

To assess how infectious this new mutant virus is, the researchers analyzed how fast cases increased compared to other coronavirus strains in the same areas.
