Dr. Fauci said that to avoid mutation Covid now
These are our best tools in the fight against mutations Covid.
In recent weeks, health experts warn thatCOVID-19 [Feminine The variants that were appeared in the world, probably soon become the dominant strains. So what should you do to avoid becoming infected with the virus mutations? During the Briefing of the White Covid-19 Response Team on Friday,Dr. Anthony FauciThe chief medical advisor of the president and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, revealed the tools available in the fight against Covid-19 mutations. Read to read about how to avoid variants - and to ensure your health and the health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.
Dr. Fauci said the vaccine helps protect against the mutation
Dr. Faisci explained that the United States would probably follow the footsteps of many European countries that have experienced a "decline in cases over a period of six weeks" before the board. "And now in the last week, they have seen an increase in cases of 9%, something we desperately want to avoid," he said.
Although it is natural for viruses, including SARS-COV2 the mutated ( "I refer as virology 101," he said) they have a major flaw. "They have bad mechanisms relisage" Has he revealed. "A virus can not mutate if it does not recur and it reproduces in an infected person."
Therefore, when there is a lot of community spread, a virus is more likely to evolve and mutate. "The variants are changing again because of selection pressures, namely a fundamental pressure to improve its own replication and spread itself, as well as pressure to evade neutralizing antibodies," he said.
It's here thatvaccines Enter and why to get the vaccine is a crucial part to avoid the mutated strain. "This has important implications for vaccines, as well as the potential role of immunocompromised individuals who have been infected, do not clean the virus very quickly and allow him to transfer to the individual," he said. "So an immune response suboptimal promotes variance generation."
He continued to explain that when you get a first dose of anti-pfizer or moderna vaccine, "you get an answer that is protected. In this case, it would be about 52%. However, the second dose provides this level of antibodies high enough, which gives redundancy to prevent the development and protection against viral variance. "
"Said in a simple and easy just, human suboptimalement human responses to wild type virus promote the generation gap and the lack of power or redundancy other than the immune response to the protection and the elimination of the variance another issue of concern. "

How to stay safe during this pandemic
Therefore, be vaccinated is essential to end the mutation. Additionally, "adherence to public health measures in an arena of a high base of infections with masks, distance, avoid settings congregants to wash their hands."
Follow the fundamentals of Fauci and help put an end to this pandemic, no matter where you live:facial maskwhich adapts perfectly and is double layers, do not travel, the social distance, avoid the big crowds, do not go inside with people you do not go with (especially in the bars), practice a good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and protect your life and the lives of others, do not visit these35 places you are most likely to catch Covid.
