The global Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19) Epidemic continues to spread, and recently a variant of the strain “B.1.1.7” has emerged in the United Kingdom, and according to a study by a medical website, the number of infections from this strain in the United States increases approximately once every 10 days.
According to CNBC, the medical website “medRxiv” published a research report on the 7th, mentioning that the Variant virus strain “B.1.1.7” is spreading rapidly in the UK and has become the main virus strain; in the last week of January, the variant virus accounted for 3.6% of the US In the last week of January, the variant accounted for 3.6 percent of the cases in the United States.
Researchers say there is still Time for the United States to take measures to slow the spread of this new strain of the virus and warn that “decisive and immediate public preparedness measures” should be taken because this variant of the virus “will likely have devastating consequences on morbidity and mortality in the United States in a few months. The study revealed that due to a lack of information from the United Kingdom, the United States and the United States, the virus has been found to have a devastating effect on the morbidity and mortality of the disease.
The study revealed that tracking the spread of the mutant strain will be complicated by the lack of genomic surveillance programs in the United Kingdom and Denmark for the mutant strain. The rate of transmission of this mutant strain of the virus doubles every 12.2 days in California, 9.1 days in Florida and 9.8 days on average across the United States.
The study, which was sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of health (NIH) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), has been posted to the medRxiv website but has not yet been peer-reviewed.
