Omicron Virus 

Don't go out without the mask 

well, that's what we all thought but unfortunately 

a new variant known as Omicron has popped up and 

has become a matter of concern for the world that's what 

we will learn today hey friends so in today's episode 

let us shed some light on this newly mutated species of 

coronavirus and see how dangerous 

 is the Omicron Variant zoom in we already learned, 

so, much about coronavirus.

So, I request you please check the same to have 

in-depth knowledge about this subject though

there is still a lot of confusion around the coronavirus

one thing is for sure that is it keeps mutating into

new variants and omicron are the latest members in its family,

which raises the question of how does this virus,

mutate well that happens when existing virus exchanges and 

its genes with some wild flu virus present in pigs or other

poultry animals in the process called antigenic shift this brings a dramatic mutation in the

virus making them stronger with

unpredictable behavior

and as the animal's body isn't prepared

to tackle this new version of the virus

it makes it hard for the animal's immune

system to detect and fight these unique species, 

and soon they begin to take over its

body causing symptoms like fever 

inflamed eyes and running snouts 

and once a human comes in contact with

these poor infected animals the virus 

quickly takes this opportunity and jumps 

into a new host, 

and we could only assume that something 

similar must have happened in the case 

of the Omicron Variant 2. 

This variant was first reported to 

double ho who from South Africa on 24^th-November-2021 

and since the finding of this mutated 

In a version of the corona, there has been 

the steep increase in the number of

patients in almost all provinces of South Africa

due to this on 26-nov-2021 

who designated omicron as a variant of concern, 

but the vital question is just how much

the threat does omicron present to us 

well, it is essential to

know that not much information is

available on this subject yet

yes, it is unclear whether omicron is

more transmissible than other variants

including delta

although the number of people testing

positive has surged in South Africa

affected by this variant

epidemiologic studies are underway to

learn if it is because of omicron or any

other reasons

yes, scientists in South Africa and

around the world are conducting studies

to better understand many aspects of

omicron and will continue to share the

verdicts of these studies as they become available

so, until we receive any concrete

evidence regarding its severity we must

abstain from spreading any information

that could lead to a state of mass panic

but remember my friends all variants of

covet 19 including the Delta variant

that is dominant worldwide can cause

severe disease or can be fatal

particularly for the most vulnerable people 

also, preliminary evidence regarding

omicron suggests that there may be an

increased risk of re-infection

meaning people who have previously had

covet-19 could become re-infected more

easily with omicron as compared to other

variants, 

although the information is still very

limited it is our duty and

responsibility

to keep taking preventive measures like

wearing masks maintains social

distance and using sanitizers

more than usual

but here is a piece of good news

according to, who the current set of

the vaccine seems to be somewhat effective

against the new variant too

so, the best option to be this new virus

and bring our world back to normal is by

getting a vaccine shot asap  

trip your time did you know, who began naming the variants after Greek 

letters to avoid public confusion and stigma 

yes, the Omicron Variant was named after 

the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet
