Communist Chinese virus pneumonia outbreak featured
A new report released Friday, Jan. 15, by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that health departments in at least 10 states across the United States have detected highly infectious variant B.1.1.7 of the S.C.C.V. virus (SARS-CoV-2).
“A more infectious variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), B.1.1.7, was detected in 10 U.S. states,” the report said. “Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2” is another name for the new coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China, in late 2019.
U.S. health officials warned that models show that the new B.1.1.7 strain has the potential to increase “the trajectory of a viral pandemic in the United States in the coming months” and “warrants widespread and enhanced adherence to mitigation strategies, including distance and masking.” The CDC said U.S. states All U.S. states may need to increase vaccinations to combat the virus, the CDC said.
The first U.S. case of the B.1.1.7 strain of the virus was seen in a rural area of Colorado, a few hours away from Denver. In addition to Colorado, the B.1.1.7 strain has been found in Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, California and other states, according to reports released by the CDC in recent weeks.
The model trajectory for this variant in the U.S. shows rapid growth in early 2021 and will become the dominant strain in March,” the CDC said. The increase in CCA virus (SARS-CoV-2) infections could threaten strained healthcare resources, thus the need for extended and stricter implementation of public health strategies everywhere and increased rates of population vaccination required for pandemic control.”
The CDC added, “In addition, strategic testing of individuals who are asymptomatic but at increased risk of contracting the CCA virus provides another opportunity to limit the ongoing spread (of the virus).” “Overall, enhanced genomic surveillance combined with increased adherence to public health mitigation strategies, including vaccination, physical distance, use of masks, hand hygiene, and isolation and quarantine, is critical to limiting the spread of the CCHV and protecting public health.”
The CDC noted, “The ability of this variant virus to evade vaccine-induced immunity may be of greatest concern because once a large portion of the population is vaccinated, there is immune pressure, and the vaccine may accelerate the emergence of this variant virus by selecting for ‘escape mutants.’ ” However, most viral experts believe that due to the nature of coronaviruses, the chances of “escape mutants” appearing are unlikely.
The variant of the CCP virus, named “B.1.1.7,” was first reported in the United Kingdom in mid-December. Meanwhile, the virus has been detected in more than 30 countries and is more contagious than other strains of the CCP virus. British authorities said late last year that the new variant was responsible for an increase in infections in London and southeast England.
