WHO was quickly formed this morning to hold a special meeting to discuss what it might mean for vaccines and health treatment for the large number of mutant new crown new variants in South Africa. It is reported that this time the variant virus style a new variant with a large number of mutations in the stinger protein - B.1.1.529, South African scientists in the study of the recently discovered new variant of the virus, found that some of these mutations help the virus to evade immunity, the country may face a fourth wave of potential epidemic impact of concern, and may spread globally . It is reported that the country has now a case of rapid detection of new crown nucleic acid in Hong Kong.
△ B.1.1.529 strain has a total of 32 stinging protein mutations
Dr. Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College London, noted that the mutations in this new strain are "very scary" and could be "scarier than all previous new strains of crown mutations," including the currently dominant global strain The Delta strain, by contrast, has a "very frightening mutation profile" that could be "more frightening than all previous new crown mutations," including the currently dominant Delta strain. In contrast, the Delta strain has 16 mutations in the stinger protein.
Some scientists have even suggested that the mutations may be related to AIDS. Previously, the new coronavirus mutated 32 times in 216 days in the body of AIDS patients, which also caused a very wide discussion.
In the face of such a terrible virus, netizens expressed their concerns, in the end, the new crown nucleic acid rapid test is still useful for these viruses? Are the results still accurate?
But this answer is clear! It works! The New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test is accurate!
New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test is for the detection of specific nucleic acid fragments of nucleic acids, no matter how mutated the nucleic acid fragments of his transcribed protein material, the target fragments of our test will be identified! Just like a normal person must have five senses, so does a virus!
The New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test is like a discriminator that can accurately identify viruses!
In addition to the above, there are also netizens who say that there are so many rapid testing methods, is every one of them as accurate as the New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test?
The answer is: NO!
At present, the rapid test is accurate identification of nucleic acid fragments, in addition to the new crown nucleic acid rapid test, other methods are the identification of the body's immune products, such as antibodies, antigens, when the virus has a certain degree of mutation, then the immune products released by the human immune system may also change, resulting in the problem of missed detection. In addition, the new crown nucleic acid rapid test is a direct detection of the virus, while other methods are the detection of the virus after the invasion, in the infection time gateway, nucleic acid detection is greatly ahead of the way! Therefore the new crown nucleic acid rapid test is the fundamental that can not be shaken!
The virus keeps mutating and the difficulty of epidemic prevention and control is increasing! But no matter how mutated it is, we still have to do as well in prevention and control by non-drug means, wearing a good mask, washing hands regularly, and keeping social distance.
In addition, proactive rapid testing of new coronary nucleic acid is also fundamental to prevention and control! The standard of prevention and control is to respond to all the changes of the virus with no change!
