facebook Dr. Anan Chongkaewwatana Post issuesCovid-19 “Omicron” states that now it seems to be clearer in many countries, especially in India that Younger Omikron or previously known as The invisible version of the Omicron Stealth (BA.2) tends to self-disperse more rapidly than the older, South African-originating Omicron Stealth (BA.1). The number of virus samples tested in many countries saw a similar trend: BA.1 samples began to decline while BA.2 began to rise markedly.
Although BA.2 has multiple site mutations like BA.1, the virus has several key sites that characterize its properties. The only difference is that BA.2 lacks a genetic alteration in the spike protein gene known as S gene dropout (DEL69-70).
or the thorn gene was not detected. This plays an important role in enabling the rapid detection of omicron strains by RT-PCR, making them difficult to measure. Hence the origin of the word “invisible” of the name of this virus. However, other genes are still detectable. RT-PCR will still detect BA.2, but is indistinguishable from other strains like Delta.
Interestingly, the differences between the two virus strains were not much, but if BA.2 was faster than BA.1, it would allow researchers to compare the differences more clearly between the two strains. Where is it that the virus can run faster? I’m not sure, the main Omikron might be defeated by the younger one in no time. The mood in India is like when the virus elder of Delta B.1.617.1 was hit by a junior like Delta B.1.617.2. I don’t know how to win.
