April 26, 2023 page Center for Medical Genomics or medical genome center Ramathibodi Hospital posted a photo with content that Arcturus XBB.1.16 is spreading rapidly around the world. Children and grandchildren were found in Thailand.

The Medical Genome Center, Ramathibodi Hospital, has analyzed the genetic code data from the global COVID-19 database “GISAID” on April 24, 2023. XBB.1.16 (local mutation S:E180V, S:478R )

Worldwide, 3,439 cases were found in Thailand, 24 cases were found.

Offspring
XBB.1.16.1 (S:T547I) 909 cases found worldwide, 1 case in Thailand.

grandchildren
XBB.1.16.1.1 (T3802C): alias FU.1, worldwide still 122 cases, not found in Thailand.
XBB.1.16.1.2 (C8692T): Aliases FU.2 found worldwide, 68 occurrences, not found in Thailand.
XBB.1.16.2 (ORF3a:V13L, ORF1a:P926H) found 232 cases worldwide, 6 cases were found in Thailand.
XBB.1.16.3 (A2893C) 72 cases found worldwide, 1 case in Thailand.

The Genome Centre, Ramathibodi Hospital has analyzed the genetic code of COVID-19. whole genome detected
The Omicron XBB.1.16.1 hybrid has a comparative growth advantage.
Above XBB.1.16 about 9%

The Omicron XBB.1.16.1.1 hybrid has a comparative growth advantage.
About 29% better than XBB.1.16

Omicron hybrid XBB.1.16.1.2 has a comparative growth advantage.
About 20% better than XBB.1.16

The Omicron XBB.1.16.2 hybrid has a comparative growth advantage.
About 1% better than XBB.1.16

In conclusion, the growth-proliferation advantage between XBB.1.16 and XBB.1.16 mutant progeny is not significantly different.

In ASEAN, Singapore is estimated to have the highest incidence of Omicron hybrid subspecies XBB.1.16.

As for Omicron XBB.1.16, the progeny or progeny will mutate and cause severe infection or not. Must keep an eye on

Dr. Arijit Chakravarty of the Fractal Therapeutics Institute in Lexington. Massachusetts, USA, in collaboration with researchers from different institutions. Study the limitations of relying on vaccines alone to control and prevent the mutation of the COVID-19 virus. They concluded that a very High rate of transmission of COVID-19 facilitates the mutation to become a new species. Although vaccination is widely used in populations around the world, it is not enough. It is essential that other measures are also integrated, such as eating hot food, using serving spoons, and wearing a face mask. social distancing use of antiviral drugs and synthetic antibodies, etc., to reduce the level of spread of COVID-19. down effectively

Countries that took multiple measures to help contain the spread of COVID-19, such as Japan and Thailand, had relatively low death rates from COVID-19, at 0.2% and 0.7%, while countries that took less drastic measures, such as the U.S. and the UK will have relatively high death rates from COVID-19, with 1% and 0.9% respectively.
