A Russian expert reveals wonderful news about the Corona virus, Will the combination of Covid and AIDS lead to the release of new strains?

What is the wonderful news that a Russian expert revealed about the Corona virus? How many countries did the ghost dynasty of Omicron reach ? Will the combination of Corona and AIDS lead to the release of new strains? And is the Ghost strain heavier or lighter than the original Omicron's? Is it close to announcing victory over Corona? The answers are in this report.

Anna Popova, head of the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection, "Ros Potrebnadzor", said that during his conversations, the Corona virus had lost the ability to penetrate the tissues of the lungs, according to what Russia Today reported on "Novosti".

The expert stressed that the "Omicron" mutant mainly affects the organs of the upper respiratory tract and does not cause a severe course of the disease.

"Scientists from different countries as well as studies in Russia say that this virus is constantly changing, this is its nature and it cannot live without it. This virus is looking for the best form in which it adapts to the human body. And during its search for the best formula for it and the best amino acid composition," Popova added. The virus has lost one of its receptors that ensures it is able to penetrate lung tissue."

Popova explained that the Corona virus currently affects mainly the upper respiratory organs, and this causes bronchitis, as well as bronchitis in children.

How many countries has the ghost dynasty of Omicron reached?

The World Health Organization announced on Tuesday that a mutant of the "BA2" sub-strain derived from Omicron - which studies indicate is faster spreading than the original mutant - has been detected in 57 countries.

The omicron of the rapidly spreading coronavirus has become a worldwide cult since it was first detected in South Africa 10 weeks ago.

In the weekly epidemiological update, the World Health Organization said that the mutant, which makes up more than 93% of all samples of the Corona virus that were collected last month, has several subspecies, namely “BA1”, “BA1.1” (BA1.1) and BA3.

She added that PA1 and PA1.1 strains - the first two versions identified - made up 96 percent of all Omicron strains uploaded to the Global Influenza Data Exchange Initiative's database.

But there was a clear rise in infections related to the "PA2" strain, which underwent several mutations different from the original, including the spinal protein on the surface of the virus, which plays a key role in the entry of the virus into human cells.

Recent studies have found that PA2 spreads faster than the original Omicron mutant.

Maria Van Kerkhove, the chief Covid expert at the World Health Organization, told reporters, on Tuesday, that information on the sub-mutant is very limited, but some preliminary data indicate that the "BA2" strain has a "slight increase in the growth rate compared to" BA1. .

In general, Omicron causes less severe disease than previous coronavirus mutants such as Delta, and Van Kerkhove noted that "there is no indication yet that there is a change in disease severity" in the PA2 sub-strain.

She stressed that regardless of the strain, Covid remains a dangerous disease and people should strive to avoid infection.

"We want people to be aware that this virus continues to spread and evolve," she said, adding, "It is really important that we take measures to reduce our exposure to this virus, regardless of which mutation is spreading."

Will the combination of Corona and AIDS lead to the release of new terrifying mutated strains?

Senior scientists in South Africa are scheduled to study the relationship between the Corona virus and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS, amid increasing evidence that the convergence of the two pandemics could lead to the emergence of new mutants of the Corona virus, According to Reuters.

The team at the South African Genome Monitoring Network, which first alerted the world to the omicron mutant from the Corona virus, said it was time to prepare a "systematic" research to find out what would happen if an AIDS patient contracted the Corona virus.

A group of studies, including a study published by the team last week, revealed that people with weakened immune systems - such as patients with HIV - can suffer from persistent infection from the Corona virus, often lasting a few months.

Research has reported that the virus remains in their immune systems and generates new mutants.

Some researchers believe that this is how the omicron and some other coronaviruses evolved, but other scientists believe it may have originated in animals before being transmitted back to humans.

Is it close to announcing victory over Corona?

The answer is no. The Director-General of the World Health Organization warned yesterday, Tuesday, that it is too early for countries to declare victory over the “Covid-19” epidemic, or to stop trying to eliminate the spread of the virus.

"It is too early for any country to surrender or declare victory," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a press conference, expressing concern over a rise in the number of deaths in most regions of the world.

Is the ghost strain more severe or lighter than the original omicron mutant?

Answer: It is probably not more severe than the original strain, according to Dr. Boris Pavlin of the World Health Organization's COVID-19 response team, on Tuesday.

In an online briefing, Dr. Pavlin said that the "Covid-19" vaccines also provide similar protection against various strains of Omicron.

Pavlin added that, based on data from Denmark, the first country in which infections with the “PA2” strain exceed those caused by “PA1”, there appears to be no difference in the severity of the disease, but “PA2” has the ability to It replaces PA1 globally.

PA2 is more contagious than PA1 and more likely to infect those vaccinated, according to a Danish study that analyzed coronavirus infections in more than 8,500 Danish families between December and January.

He added, "The vaccination largely protects against severe symptoms (for corona strains), including Omicron. The PA2 strain quickly replaces PA1. It is unlikely that it will have a significant effect, although more data is needed.
