The CDC has just given the most frightening prediction on the U.K. Covid strain
A new report of the agency indicates that this variant may be resumed.
The United Kingdom reported the presence of aNew coronavirus variant in mid-December, and this is already part of more than 30 countries, including the United States. Virus mutations are nothing out of the ordinary, but this new strain, called B.1.1.7, has attracted serious concerns among health leaders through its transmissibility. Now, disease control and prevention centers (CDC) weighed on the future of the new variant in this country - and it is not good news. According to a new CDC report, the U.K. Covid strain can soon become the dominant Covid tension in the United States. Learn more about the alarming prediction of the agency and for another look at what is coming,The CEO of Moderna has just made this frightening prediction on Covid.
The CDC says that strain u.k. will become the dominant variant within two months.
The u.k strain has the potential ofIncrease the American pandemic trajectory In the coming months, "the CDC stated in a new study published on January 15th. According to their trajectory modeling, this strain should grow so quickly that it becomes the dominant variant of the US by March.
This trajectory means thatEfforts to increase vaccinations and mitigation measures - distancing, masking and hand hygiene - are more important than ever. The CDC says that the institution of these measures "earlier than later" will make them more effective in slowing down the initial propagation of the new variant.

This is because the U.K. Coronavirus strain spreads more easily.
People aremore likely to contract Covid Of those who have U.K strain. Because the CDC reports that it is about 50% more communicable than current variants. According to the report, there was a higher proportion of secondary contacts infected with the virus when exposed to patients indexed with strain B.1.1.7 that when exposed to patients indexed with other variants. Coronavirus.
"Currently, there is no known difference in clinical outcomes associated with SARC-2's died variants; however, a higher transmission rate will lead to other cases, increasing the number of people in general who need clinical care, exacerbating the burden on a health care system already tense and leading to more deaths, "explains the CDC. and for another disastrous prediction,The CDC has just published this horrible COVID warning.
The CDC asserts that this strain has already been found in 12 states.
There were 76 reported cases of the U.K strain. In the United States, as of January 13th. According to a map, the CDC has updated, theseCases have been found in 12 states: California, Florida, Minnesota, Colorado, New York, Indiana, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Wisconsin.
However, many officials believe that the number is even higher. In an interview withNewsweek,Anthony Fauci, MD, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said he believed that this strain was "more widespread in the United States that we are now hate it to be. "In fact, Maryland Gov.Larry Hogan said he had been informed by the director of the CDCRobert Redfield, MD, that the American variant wasMost probably already in each state. And for more information on the current state of the pandemic,That's how the COVID epidemic is in your state.
The CDC also warns other emerging Covid strains.
The CDC warned that this u.k.k strain.not the only circulating noticeable variant Currently. The Agency indicates two other strains: B.1.351, first detected in South Africa and B.1.1.28 (renamed p.1), detected Brazilian travelers in a Tokyo airport. None of these variants were detected in the United States as of January 12, CDC notes. But there is always a concern. According to the CDC, these two variants "carry a constellation of genetic mutations", which can not only increase the transmissibility, but could also affect the results of the COVID tests and reduce the ability of people to develop protective antibodies. And for advice to stay safe,The CDC issued a warning against these 4 face coatings.
