Fauci warns of record of Omicron deaths in US

“Unfortunately, the incidence and mortality of patients infected with the coron omicron virus is unprecedented,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN local time on Sunday. will increase.

“In some parts of the United States, we will see significant pressure on the hospital system, especially in areas with low vaccination rates,” he said. This is one of the reasons why we continue to emphasize the importance of getting vaccinated among the unvaccinated.

A member of the White House counterterrorism working group predicted that with the expansion of the Omicron strain, the United States would face difficult conditions in the coming weeks.

The head of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases explained that we have a difficult situation ahead. We can not ignore it. As winter approaches and the Omicron strain spreads, we will face difficult conditions in the next few weeks and months.

The White House chief medical adviser said experts had predicted the outbreak of a new strain but did not expect that many mutations in the omicron strain.

“We definitely expected new strains,” said a member of the White House counterterrorism working group. What was not anticipated was the unprecedented rate of mutations and amino acid substitutions in the omicron strain.

The head of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said: “We are dealing with a virus that has 50 mutations.

“One of the biological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2, like several other viruses, is the presence of spike proteins, which allow these viruses to penetrate the host cell and cause infection,” Fauci said.

According to the Associated Press, amid rising hospitalization of Crohn’s patients in hospitals, doctors, nurses and other health care workers in the United States are extremely tired and have to prepare for the outbreak of Omicron.

Ohio was the last state to ask the National Guard for help with emergency medical care. In Nebraska, experts warn that hospitals will soon have to set quotas to treat patients.

Medical officials in Kansas and Missouri are delaying surgeries, opposing transfers, and working hard to hire nurses on leave or travel as coronary heart disease cases are rising rapidly in the state. .

New York State reported on Friday that more than 21,000 people in the state were infected with corona in one day. This is the highest number of coronary heart disease cases since vaccination began in the state.

According to the US government, an average of 60,000 patients with coronary heart disease are hospitalized in the country every day over the past week.

The situation is more acute in the cold regions of the United States. In these areas, people are increasingly gathering indoors, and new cases of coronation are on the rise.

Experts say the incidence of coronary heart disease and hospitalization of patients who have not been vaccinated is increasing. The US government says 61% of the US population is fully vaccinated.
The White House has warned of an outbreak of the omicron virus and those who have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The Biden government has said that omicrons are expected to become the predominant strain of the coronavirus in the next few weeks, with people facing a severe winter immunization with a risk of death.

“Unlike last winter, we now have the power to protect ourselves against the vaccine, the vaccines work against the omicrone, especially for people who have received higher doses,” said Jeffer Zintz, White House Coordinator for Covid-19. At the same time, we do not allow the Omicron virus to disrupt the business and workflow of schools in the United States.

The White House official also warned that if you are not vaccinated, you will face serious illness and death this winter for yourself, your family and hospital staff, who will soon be under pressure from a new wave of new infections.
While health professionals were controlling the corona virus delta species, a new species of corona virus was identified that is very worrying. This species is called B.1.1.529 or omicron and with about 50 genetic mutations, it holds the record for the highest number of genetic mutations.

The emergence of a mutated strain of the corona virus, called omicron, which was first identified in South Africa and Hong Kong, has now spread to most countries of the world, raising new concerns.

Information available about this new species so far shows that its symptoms are similar to other types of coronavirus, including fever, persistent cough, and loss of taste or smell.
Researchers are studying the genetic structure and behavior of this new species and are trying to assess the severity of the symptoms caused by this species.
