The “most dangerous” … the discovery of a new Corona mutation

The Observer website reported that a third emerging corona virus mutation had been discovered in 13 countries, prompting concern from scientists and health experts.

Previously, two “Covid-19” mutations were detected in Britain and South Africa, before they were transmitted to many countries, and specialists said at the time that the two mutations are spreading rapidly, but there is no evidence of their severity. .

As for the new (third) mutation, it is called “E484K”, as revealed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. It is likely to be more dangerous as it allows the virus to avoid the antibodies resulting from the currently available vaccines.

The new variant was found in 13 countries on all 5 continents, which means that it spread for some time before being discovered.

These countries include the United States, Canada, Denmark, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, Finland, Nigeria, Ghana, Jordan, Australia, and Singapore.

Researchers believe that the first sample containing the new mutation dates from December 15 of last year.

An expert in microbiology, Simon Clark, told the British newspaper “The Guardian”: “We do not yet know the extent of this new species, but if it manages to spread on a large scale, it can be assumed that the immunity of any vaccine or previous infection is will weaken. “
