COVID IS STILL WITH US Even though the number of infected daily in Thailand fluctuates, it is still in the hundreds of digits. Don’t forget to protect yourself by wearing a surgical mask. And social distancing Thai men have recently been infected with the first South African strain of COVID from Thailand after returning from Tanzania and being in state quarantine. With doctors confirming this strain There is no widespread outbreak in Thailand.
In order not to let everyone get careless You should know that this virus is currently “COVID MUTED” There are at least 3 variants of the description from “Assoc. Dr. Thira Worathanarat”, Faculty of Medicine. Chulalongkorn University states that the first species is the English race. It has spread to dozens of countries around the world. And it is expected to be the cause of the outbreak in the United States, since at the end of December 2020 it spread to dozens of states across the country. It is expected to be the species to dominate the outbreak in America in the coming months. Furthermore, research in the UK found that it spread about 50% faster than the parent species and was 35% more serious or fatal than before.
Outstanding news
The second species is South Africa. There are some mutations that are similar to those of the British. Which now spread to many countries outside of South Africa. He has been in the United States since January 2021, with concern that he is resistant to the current vaccine. Antibodies against strains induced by various vaccines available To a lesser extent than the parent species AND the effectiveness of preventing infection with symptoms was less than the parent strain. Efforts are now underway to better cover South African species. It took several months to make adjustments and test them before launching them.
The other is the Brazilian species. It was detected for the first time in 4 travelers from Brazil to Japan. And found in America since the end of the month Jan ago In this strain, 17 genes were altered, three of which occurred in the viral spine protein, where it binds to human cells.
More recently, the University of Nottingham in England is looking to invent a vaccine that, in addition to stimulating the immune response to the spike protein, a protein that forms the genetic material of the virus called the core protein. Ocapsid (nucleocapsid protein) in it, hoping to stimulate the immune system capable of manipulating new strains. It is the future of the virus. Because although the virus will mutate But often the nature of the spine protein changes. The part of the viral genetic material rarely changes.
“As far as I know Now it is through animal laboratory research. The immune stimulating effect was found to have an antibody level as good as With current vaccines But have a higher level of cellular immunity And we are going to investigate in person Look and there is hope. “
In addition to clearly reiterating the situation of the outbreak in Thailand now. I’m still not sure Regardless of the area It must be strictly protected Live with a conscience Because these two waves of battle are long It’s still not easy. If you monitor the situation closely, it was discovered that someone was likely infected without knowing it. Either I haven’t received much more evidence.And more recently, during the Lunar New Year in crowded cities, gatherings and travel, there is no doubt that the coronavirus outbreak has broken out. It can be seen at the end of the third week. Until the end of February.
