Open the reason for the new strain of covid Omicron will spread harder than Delta Czech!

News reports stated that Lt. Gen. Anutara Chittinan (Dr. Anutara), President of the Royal College of Physicians of Thailand Post a personal Facebook page (Anutra Chittinandana) with the comments of Manop Phithakphakorn which reads:
Why does immune resistance alone cause Omicron (Oh Micron) is highly contagious. Delta (delta)?
The world has known Omicron for about a week, but the data on this variant worries scientists. And the World Health Organization (WHO) decided to label it as VOC in the first place, although there was not much information about it.
The first information we know about Omicron is that a new wave has emerged in Gauteng (location of Johannesburg and Pretoria), although South Africa has only been through a Delta outbreak 3-4 months ago, similar to Thailand.

Along with the discovery of a new strain of COVID that could increase its market share to become a dominant strain over the Delta in just half a month. With this acceleration, it is expected that Omicron invaded Gauteng was many times stronger than Delta.
The information we know about this strain is that Omicron accumulates a large number of mutations. and most are concentrated in the spike region of the genome, which makes the spike antigen trait significantly different from other VOCs. This data even though the results of the lab tests have not yet been seen. But to be able to predict that Omicron is likely to be immune evasion quite a lot, perhaps even more than Beta, which is known to be very stubborn.

While the ability to spread easily caused by spreading easily. As far as we know, the location of mutations other than the spike is not the same as Delta, so it is possible that the infection may not be as infective as Delta. But still have to wait to see the results of the study in the lab to confirm again)

Why would Omicron’s immune evasion alone be able to spread the infection over the Delta? Resistance to this strain may cause people who have been infected with Delta before or have been vaccinated for some time. Not having a high enough level of immunity to prevent new infections In other words, it is This infection has the power to penetrate the immunity that was previously formed. The recent Delta outbreak. Recovered infected patients retained immunity against repeated Delta infections in a short period of time. But it may not prevent Omicron, so we could see an Omicron outbreak following the Delta outbreak in no time. This is not a new phenomenon. But it happened in Manaus, Brazil last year. During the emergence of the new strain, Gamma (formerly known as P.1), COVID re-emerged even though more than 75% of the population had previously been infected with the Wuhan strain. (Read more here https://www.facebook.com/manopsi/posts/10160617804518448), later it is known that the Gamma variant is quite stubborn (immune evasion).
How much is Omicron’s Immune evasion? We’ll have to wait for the results of a study from Moderna and Pfizer in the next two weeks. In the meantime, the most important thing we can all do is vaccinate. Who hasn’t injected, hurry up to inject. Who needs to boost? Let’s go boost. Now, vaccines that are highly effective, both Pfizer and Moderna, no matter how resistant Omicron is. which Whoever is higher has an advantage.
