Today (30 June 65) Dr. Anan Chongkaewwatana, a virologist Director of Animal Health and Management Innovation Research Group The National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (Biotech) revealed on its personal Facebook page the outbreak of the omicron subspecies that BA.5 is the fastest-running SARS-CoV-2 virus to date. And it looks like the virus is training itself to get fitter. This may be because many countries are ready to fight to live with the virus like people who are not seriously ill. The virus goes where it wants to go. If more and more people are seriously ill, let’s see where the virus has gone. And why is that?
“An interesting example is Germany and Denmark. The rapidly running BA.5 virus there is an incremental change and is an alteration outside the spike protein. This makes it more difficult for people to notice the difference unless the virus is actually more prominent than BA.5 in general. The virus, informally labeled BE.1, is BA.5 that alters the nucleocid protein (N protein for ATK assays) at site 136 from the amino acid named. Glutamic acid (E) to Aspartic acid (D), abbreviated N:E136D.
Dr Anan also said data in Germany showed that BE.1 might be up to 65% faster than BA.5, while in Denmark it was 39 percent. Compared to the countries where BE.1 is found, Germany appears to be leading now.
“It would be normal to see the virus stagnant and not slowing backwards. From the point of view of virologists, This is very challenging This is because viral changes occur in unexpected ways, such as the N protein that most people think is unlikely to have such a high effect on the spread. and the change comes in a single position You don’t have to wait for a lot to change…our knowledge of this virus is really very low.”
