Covid-19: Will Covid variants be less severe in the future? Even WHO does not guarantee that


Posted on 3rd Feb 2022 06:47 pm by rohit kumar

There is a panic about the coronavirus in the world. New cases of the coronavirus are being seen every day. At the same time, the infection of Omicron is spreading rapidly. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the next Covid-19 variant will be more contagious than Omicron. Along with this, the global health body has also said that there is no guarantee that the strain encountered in the future will be less dangerous.

 

Reports said that according to WHO's Covid-19 technical head Maria Van Kerkhove, scientists still have to answer the real question of whether it will be more lethal or not. Van Kerkhove said on Tuesday that last week, the WHO had reported nearly 21 million Covid cases, setting a new global record for weekly cases from the fast-spreading Omicron variant.

 

Although Omicron appears to be less lethal than previous variants of the virus, the sheer number of cases has become a burden on hospital systems in many countries. Van Kerkhove said the next variant of concern will be more powerful. This means that its transmission rate will be higher and it will leave behind the existing variants spreading all over the world. He said that a big question is also whether the variants coming in the future will be more lethal or not.

 

According to the report, experts have warned those who believe in such theories, which say that the virus will mutate into mild strains over time and people will get less sick than previous variants. He further said, we can expect the next variant to be lighter, but there is no guarantee that it will happen. That's why people need to strictly follow the Covid protocol.

 

In addition, the next mutant variant of Covid may be more adept at evading vaccine protection. It can affect the immunity created by the vaccine. WHO's director of emergency programs Dr. Mike Ryan said the virus would continue to evolve before a pattern set in. It can become a seasonal disease or it can become a threat to the people of the weaker section.
