Over the past 1 month, we have more information and know more regarding Omikron. We know that it is easier to contact than the original species that used to be. We know that to evade immunity, two doses of vaccination are definitely not enough. Need a high level of immunity all the time to reduce the severity of the disease
We know that omikron is less virulent than previous species. from South Africa data English and Danish Obviously, more and more patients But the number of hospitalizations is only one-third of the delta species. and has a lower mortality rate
We know that Omikron likes the upper respiratory tract. rather than into the lungs We know that to detect omikron Use a saliva sample, it’s good and better than a nasal smear. Because bacteria like the throat
We know that there is a huge outbreak around the world right now. Especially in North America and Europe, although mRNA is the primary vaccine.
This species has spread all over the world. and is rapidly increasing But the mortality rate did not increase accordingly, as shown in the figure from the World Health Organization. Worldwide, death rates have dropped dramatically. when compared with the outbreak in the first year
In Europe and America, the rate of infection has skyrocketed. It is said that it is seasonal influenza in the northern hemisphere. Will it be very epidemic in winter, is it true?
if so Why is Australia the southern hemisphere? It’s not flu season. There is also an increase in incidence, as shown in the figure of the World Health Organization’s Covid-19 dashboard.
Why does Indonesia and Chile not have as many outbreaks as Australia in the southern hemisphere? Season or cold weather should not be the cause. Thailand would have to take lessons from different countries in order to use it as a preventive measure. and we must be together
Omikron might be able to help close the game. because we speed up vaccination This can only be done in developed countries. developing country Might have to give Omikron. Help build immunity. Omikron may not be good for vaccine companies.
