Today (8 Dec. 21) Prof. Dr. Yong Phu Worawan, the head of the Center specializes in clinical virology. Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Posted a message via Facebook, Yong Poovorawan, stating that Covid-19 “Omicron” tends to be less severe than Delta species.
Yong Phuworawan 8 December 2021
In the past, it was evident When a species spreads faster will replace the original species We can see from the alpha species. and delta species Delta species now Worldwide, found to be up to 99 percent.
Such lessons are evident. from the flu Prior to the 2009 H1N1 flu epidemic, we already had the seasonal H1N1 flu. Each species After the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, the original H1N1 influenza strain that epidemic before It was replaced by the 2009 H1N1 flu and was never found again.
until now And it is not possible for the H1N1 strain to replace the H3N2 or Flu B because they are different people. Likewise, covid19 cannot be replaced. Coronavirus that causes diseases in children such as OC43 229E because they are different.
Likewise, Omicron, if it spreads more easily than the original species. It will replace the Delta species as a natural norm.
In the past, we developed MLV vaccines from viruses. We use viruses that cause disease. to have repeated infection in test cells or animals When the infection is repeated for a long time That virus will be weakened. then take the vaccine type of infection because of repeated infections The virus itself is trying to adapt. reduce the harm to local residents or weak enough
Now, from seeing patients around the world promising will see that being found outside the African continent Whether it’s England, Norway, or Denmark, about half are asymptomatic. Nearly half had mild symptoms. compared to the Delta species. And the same is true in southern Africa. Patients with the Omicron strain were also less likely to be hospitalized than the original Delta strain. If all this is true (That has to wait to prove a while) is considered good news. We want that.
if the disease is not severe and there are many infections Infection is like building a natural immunity. At that time, the need for vaccines is reduced. Vaccines are used in vocal groups. with a chance of being severe market of vaccines will be in the hands of the buyer
