Top US contagious complaint expert Dr Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday said the new variant of SARS-CoV-2, which has again shut the borders of numerous countries in fresh apprehension, is clearly not worse than the former variants, including Delta. Speaking to AFP, Fauci reiterated that a complete picture of the new variant might take some time. Still, some areas have come relatively clear.
Then’s what Fauci said
Transmissibility Omicron is” easily largely transmittable”, and veritably probably further than Delta, Fauci said.
Immune elusion Is Omicron more at escaping impunity from vaccination or former infection? According to Fauci, the answer is yes. Substantiation is epidemiological data from around the world, he said. Results from lab trials that tested the energy of antibodies from current vaccines against Omicron should come in the coming many days to a week, Dr Fauci said.
On the question of inflexibility, he said Omicron is clearly not more severe than Delta.

“There’s some suggestion that it might indeed be less severe because when you look at some of the cohorts that are being followed in South Africa, the rate between the number of infections and the number of hospitalizations seems to be lower than with Delta,”he said.
A further transmittable contagion that does not beget more severe illness and does not lead to a swell of hospitalisations and deaths is the”best-case script”, while the worst would be if the largely transmittable variant also causes severe complaint.”I do not suppose that worst-case script is going to come about, but you noway know,”Fauci said.
First reported from South Africa, the variant has now been detected in at least 38 countries with the potent of the being vaccines being questioned against this new variant. The variant, still, has not been linked to any deaths. The variant has over 50 mutations and doesn’t spark the usual symptoms like loss of taste or smell, breathing difficulties etc.
