How dangerous is the Amicron Corona strain?

For some time now, you have been hearing about the Amicron Corona strain in the news. After the Delta mutation subsided a bit, this time we see another mutation in the Covid-19 virus, about which there is much unknown due to its emergence. How dangerous is Amicron and what is the probability that it will lead to death? Does it mostly affect children or the elderly? Can the corona vaccine protect against amicron? By reading this article, you will find the answers to all these questions.

What is Amicron?

Simply put, the omicron is a new type of corona virus and has been given the name by the World Health Organization. This new strain of corona was first observed in South Africa and has since spread rapidly to other countries. Now that we are in December 2021, for some time now, the domestic news of the country has confirmed the observation of the Amicron Corona in Iran. The most important difference between Amicron and other genres such as Delta is its high rate of propagation and transmission, which raises many concerns in all human societies.

What are the symptoms of Amicron?

People who have scheduled their corona vaccine doses appear to have mild symptoms such as the common cold with omicron. These symptoms include:

• Dry cough
• Feeling weak, tired and lethargic
• Nasal congestion and runny nose
• Headache
• diarrhea and vomiting

It becomes. Unlike other coronavirus mutations in the amicron, there is often no loss of taste or smell. The symptoms are based on initial reports of the Amicron Corona strain, and in fact, scientific studies have not yet advanced enough to pinpoint the symptoms of the disease. It is clear that if a person has not received the corona vaccine, he or she is much more likely to develop symptoms of amicron. Also, people who have taken the booster (third) dose of the Corona vaccine are more likely to experience mild symptoms if they have Amicron.

Evidence suggests that omicron probably does not penetrate deeper into the lungs as other strains of the corona virus. A study from the University of Hong Kong found that although omicron is less of a problem for the lungs, it can multiply very quickly in the respiratory tract.

Some experts say that Amicron acts more like bronchitis than pneumonia. Patients with acute bronchitis usually do not have shortness of breath and are more likely to have a sputum cough. But in essence, there is shortness of breath and the person feels more tired.

What is the latency period of the Amicron Corona strain?

Based on the initial data, it can be said that the time it takes for the symptoms of the disease to be observed in a person with amicron is shorter than other strains. This period may be less than 3 days and eventually reach 1 week. One of the reasons that leads to the greater prevalence of amicron is the short latency period. Of course, the incubation period of the disease depends directly on the person’s age, the underlying diseases, and whether or not he or she has been vaccinated.

Does emicron lead to long-term coronation?

Much is known about amicron, but experts say that being infected with the corona amicron strain can lead to long-term quid-19. In this case, symptoms such as severe fatigue, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, etc. may be observed for months after taking Amicron. In the delta, too, a long corona was formed in many people. According to experts, it must be assumed that Amicron, like other mutations in the Covid-19 virus, can form a long-lived corona unless proven otherwise. However, research shows that getting the vaccine can greatly reduce the risk of long-term Covid.

How dangerous is Amicron?

The incidence of Amicron is increasing day by day in the world and in our country. What worries Amicron is the speed with which it is transmitted from person to person. But research suggests that people who have received the corona vaccine and even taken the third dose are less likely to develop emicron and experience severe symptoms of this type of corona. So if you have not yet been vaccinated, it is best to shake hands sooner. According to the Iranian Deputy Minister of Health: “The lungs will be less involved in the Emicron side.” But if in the past, for example, 100 people took the Delta Corona, now 200 people will take the Amicron Corona because the rate of jump and transmission is higher.

How to prevent Amicron?

In order not to get emicron, the same commands must be followed as from the beginning of the corona:

• Apply a mask
• Observance of health procedures
• Social distancing
• Wash hands regularly with soap
• Do not touch facial parts (such as eyes, nose and mouth)
• air conditioning

According to the World Health Organization, the incidence of amicron doubles every 36 to 72 hours.

Can someone who has already had a corona get an emicron?

People who have had other types of coronas in the past, such as delta, may still be affected by the emicron corona strain. Even people who have received 3 doses of the vaccine may still receive the Amicron Corona. Of course, it should be noted that if a person has received 3 doses of Corona vaccine, he will be safer than Amicron if he has received only 1 or 2 doses of this vaccine. People who have not been vaccinated are at the highest risk for getting emicron.

Concluding remarks

Reports indicate that amicron corona is less likely to be hospitalized than alpha and delta strains, but what worries Amicron is that the rate of transmission from person to person is very high. There is a lot of unknown about Amicron because it is an emerging strain of Covid 19 and has not been extensively researched.
