“Razor blade throat”: The “Nimbus” COVID variant sparks concern of summer surge

After birth, memory loss is a normal reaction, and it is common for poor delay after a mass shock or a collective shock. However, the truth is that SARS-COV-2 causes the virus Covid-19He still finds ways to infect people with the development of new mutations, and a new variable has caused anxiety among virus doctors who continue to track the virus.

Last month, the World Health Organization Named Covid Variant NB.1.8.1 “variable within monitoring” because it rose throughout Asia and formed 10.7 % of the global series that were reported from mid -May. Now, the alternative has been discovered in the United States, Europe and Canada as well, regarding the tracker of viruses who – for the first time since The Perola variable began in August 2023 Granting her title: Nimbos.

NIMBUS reassembles genetic materials from other strains three times. Although operation Reinstalization is a natural process One of the viruses that try to develop in order to survive among the population, the re -installation events are related because every time the virus does this, it has the ability to develop into something more infectious or causes a more severe disease.

One of these mutations in Nimbos allows her to evade the immunity we built against the virus from previous infections, so the ability to move is slightly higher, said Dr. Rajandram Ragnarayanan of the New York Institute of Technology in Junsburo, Arkansas, said that one of these mutations in Nimpos allows her to evade the immunity we built against the virus from previous infections, so the ability to move is slightly higher, said Dr. Rajandram Ragnarayanan of the New York Institute of Technology in Junsburo, Arkansas, said that one of these mutations in Nimbus allows her to evade the immunity we built against the virus from the previous infections, so the ability to move may be slightly higher.

accident Preprint StudyThe peer has not yet been reviewed, and I found that the way this alternative is associated with cells can make them suffer more efficiently than the previous strains and that it may be easier for this strain to transfer it to another person. However, there has been no evidence yet indicating that Nimbus is associated with a more severe disease.

Nimbus “is a strong candidate for summer height.”

“We haven’t seen a big boom in emergency departments due to Covid’s conditions and respiratory things in this term yet,” Rajennaraanan said in a video call. “We have to wait and watch.”

Recently, many people have been reported about symptoms called “shaving the blade”, but it is not clear whether this is a symptom of Covid or one of the many many viruses that revolve. In general, it is difficult to attribute some symptoms to the variables when there are more than ten traders at one time and the test is still relatively low compared to the early stages of the epidemic.

However, we learned from omicron Gregory told the salon in an email message, that this high transition can cause a lot of damage that causes a virginity in the infection, and at this point, not only an acute acute severe intensity, but also long -term effects of repeated infection. “Coveyd long“Covid symptoms last for several months or years, often disrupting patients.

However, current data show that most of the rock infections in the United States Currently due to the LP.8.1 variableIt descends from Perola. Each of these two strains is still technically in the Greek letter “OMICRON”, which now contains thousands of offspring. If there is one thing in good viruses, it turns into new forms that can escape from our immunity, whether it is vaccines or previous infections.

In 2023, the World Health Organization decided Name variables only with this system if they are considered “anxiety variable” He stated that certain action steps should be taken by countries if the alternative decreases under this classification. However, the agency has not described any variables like this since OMICron.

some Argue Some variables were different enough to justify a new name, and that not naming the variables makes it difficult to distinguish between the complex alphabet soup of the variables that are circulated at any specific time.

For example, the Pirola, which included the alternative Ba.2.86 along with its grandchildren, was genetically different from the original omokron dynasty like the original “wild strain” virus of Wuhan, China.

However, in the past two years, “it has been largely Birola’s offer,” said Gregory. The current vaccines are designed to protect from this strain.

To date, NIMBUS is not very common in the United States, but it has been identified in California and has sufficient mutations in its Spike protein that he has the ability to cause waves of disease in other regions – which is partly why his name was set. Home tests should still work to detect this alternative, but the PCR tests that doctors can request more accurate. The conviction also helps prevent the spread of the virus.

Every year, after the start of the Covid’s pandemic, the cases have risen in the summer. It hit the summer last year around August and was very intense The vaccines have been approved a little early. Although this summer wave this year has not started yet, experts expect that we will test another wave this summer. As the variable followers expect either NIMBUS or any other variable called XFG to be the dominant strain this time. Although Xfg is currently a greater percentage of cases in North America than NB.1.8.1, it was the last Discover in New York and California.

“NB.1.8.1 is a strong summer height filter,” said Rajnarayanan. However, what we know from the previous cases is that it should not be a single variable that is raised up [to prominence] Sometimes it can be a group of variables … that pick up mutations from each other and re -assemble them. “

The good news is that NIMBUS is still similar enough to the Pirola variables that are designed to be targeted to target. This means that they should be effective, as Gregory said. but, Fears were raised Access to vaccines may be limited this fall due to the food and medicine department that it will require drug makers to conduct a new set of clinical trials before approving the new vaccines for use. Last month, the FDA also said it would get Recommendation only Covid vaccines for adults 65 and above those at risk of severe disease. Critics said this will only make vaccines Less likely to cover insurance And the least available in general.

On Monday, Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services, Robert F. Kennedy he was Launch experts board This advises the centers of control of diseases responsible for providing recommendations on vaccines, which increases the complexity of matters.

It is associated with updated instructions from the Center for Disease Control Disclose recommendations for healthy women and children For routinely vaccination, these changes from the federal government can have a chilling effect that leads to a fewer people to vaccination.

“I am concerned about access,” said Ragnarayananan, adding that it is not clear whether vaccines will be available to people who are not included in federal recommendations. “These types of things are still mysterious and I really want to see clearer instructions.”

Although many people have forgotten from Covid, people still enter the hospital and kill it at the hands of the virus routinely. In addition, all NFECtion Covid carries a risk to developing a long phase, which continues to do so Millions of people delusion. As we witnessed when Covid was a complete epidemic, emerging viruses can be especially harmful to people with current cases such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease.

Rajennaraanan said it is important to protect from things like long long not only for people’s welfare today but also because of our sensitivity to future viruses.

“In different parts of the world, I saw funding for continuous monitoring, not only for monitoring, which is important, but also studying the disease itself,” said Rajenaranean. “This is not only about protection [people] Today, but also protect them from any other variable in the future. “
