A virologist reassures the world that the emergence of `Omicron` may be a turning point to weaken Corona
Weather of Arabia - A study showed that the new mutant of the Corona virus acquired a genetic piece of the virus that causes colds, "which means that the Corona virus weakens", with this phrase an Italian virologist spoke about the South African mutant "Omicron", so does this statement reassure the world?!
After days of panic about the “Omicron” mutant from the Corona virus and its potential negative effects on the world’s population, Professor Matteo Pasetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic at San Martino Hospital in the Italian city of Genoa, reassured everyone, saying: “The omicron variant acquired the genetic material of the common cold virus, which is A tipping point that will lead to a weakening of the disease."
"The new variant, which may have terrorized the whole world, has acquired a piece of the common cold virus, and this explains why it has given it milder clinical pictures of the virus , compared to the Delta strain, which is very similar to the cold," Pazitti wrote on his personal Facebook page.
He added: "Thanks to this addition of genetic material from the cold virus, Omicron is more human, and less animal than the initial SarsCoV2, which is why it escapes more easily from our immune system, which does not easily recognize it."
And he continued: “If the Omicron variable replaces Delta, it may be more contagious, but it can be controlled, which, if confirmed, will prove for the first time that the Corona virus automatically weakens, loses its initial strength to cause serious diseases and becomes less lethal than other previous variables, And then adapting more to humans."
In this way, the long-awaited symbiosis between man and the virus will begin, and the disease will become more manageable, as well as at the level of vaccines, which will eventually allow a return to normal life.
