As an Omicron variant of Covid-19 continued to spread throughout the world, noting the case of Coronavirus reported from Russia to Brazil And Covid’s related death continues to rise too. On January 28, Australia suffered the most deadly day of the pandemic so far, with almost 100 deaths In the US, Omicron claims the average 2,200 lives every day – higher than the Delta variant, which peaked at an average of seven days 2,078 in September last year, according to Reuters analysis.
But scientists have found that Omicron is less severe than the Delta variant, and more people are vaccinated now – with a number of vaccine doses that are globally distributed more than 10 billion Omicron is more transmitting than Delta As we have seen throughout the two years of pandemics, deaths are left behind from the increase in the number of cases, so we tend to see the increase in mortality as an Omicron case continues to rise in several countries, including Russia and Brazil.
Omicron has been found to spread much faster than the previous Delta variant – with studies that show it four times more transmitting Most of them who are dying of Omicron in the US are not vaccinated, indicating that vaccines make a difference in reducing hospitalization and death. “More contagious variants tend to run through the population very quickly,” Wafaa El-Sadr, a professor of epidemiology and medicine at Columbia University in New York City, told Reuters. “Even if the new variant causes a disease that is less severe (especially among those who are vaccinated and driven), we may still see an increase in hospitalization and death due to vulnerabilities that are not vaccinated and not booted.
It will be for a while until we see a decline in death as a very painful person with Covid remains hospitalized for a long time, “he said Omicron is less severe but ‘not light We have increasing information that Omicron is less severe than Delta, but still a dangerous virus,” said Dr. The World Health Organization Dr. Maria Kerkhove, in the video recently explained the impact of the variant “We learn that people with fundamental conditions, people with old age, people who are not vaccinated can have severe Covid-19 forms after infection from Omicron We know that people are still being treated at the hospital [with Omicron] and dying, so it’s important we have information out there that are accurate, which shows it’s less severe than Delta, but it’s not light.”
What can we do to protect ourselves Get vaccinations, but still take other steps to reduce transmission and pain, said Dr. Van Kerkhove We know that vaccinations are very protective against severe diseases and death, but also prevent some infections and some subsequent transmissions, but it is not perfect in terms of preventing infection and transmission This is why we also recommend that people protect themselves from exposure. Physical distance, wearing masks installed properly on your nose and mouth, make sure you have a clean hand, avoid the crowds, work from home if you can, tested and ensure you Looking for care – all these steps, this layered approach, is a way in which you can keep yourself safe and protect yourself so that it is not infected and through the virus to others. “
