Academic data from research around the world will find this to be the case above. Omikron symptoms are less common than in the Delta period. it is the loss of smell (anosmia) or the decrease of smell (hyposmia).
Current data from America and Europe. report it The percentage of omikron cases with olfactory disturbances is more than 20% lower than the Delta, but this does not mean that it is rare. because if you look at the people around you who have been infected this year There are still people who have a hard time sniffing and not smelling. or the odor is constantly decreasing
Research statistics from groups of America, England and Italy found about a third. 31.2% … no smell 13.2% and the smell decreased by 18%
Medical science estimates it The olfactory disturbance which is more common in the delta and less common in the omikron. It could be due to a change in the mechanism of the virus. The delta is usually attached to cells using the “TMPRSS2” receptor, which is found mainly in lung cells and the olfactory epithelium.
But Omikron used less of this TMPRSS2 mechanism, but instead focused on the endosomal fusion mechanism. even if the proportion is small But the real number that happens is huge. Because the infected people in the Omikron era were many times more.
“Consistent self-defense Wearing the mask correctly Will greatly reduce the risk.”
update knowledgeCOVID-19 About the “level of immunity in the blood” or “antibodies” after injection with the bivalent vaccine is equivalent to the original vaccine. Recently … there are 2 research papers from the USA presenting results. Studies have shown that bivalent vaccines are after injection (4th needle) …
Therefore, antibodies against BA.5 strains were raised in the blood to levels no different from those of traditional vaccines. We analyze that This phenomenon may indicate immunological imprinting from previous exposure to primitive strains and some experts believe that it may be necessary to receive a second booster dose of the bivalent vaccine.
Therefore, you will see a more specific answer to BA.5.
However, there must be further studies over a period of time. Meanwhile, the vaccine injection as a booster is important for every country. To prepare for the new wave that will occur at the end of the year … reduce the risk of serious illness and death Above all, regular protection during everyday life is essential.
The number of new infections every day in the world now. from Asia and Europe together accounted for 84.93% of the world population, while the number of deaths represented 85.26%.
It is also interesting that “… The older you get, the more serious the diseases you have.”
Vo AD et al published the results of the study in the international medical journal JAMA Network Open (20 Oct 65), a cohort of 110,760 veterans from Dec 15, 2021 to Feb 28, 2022. The gist is that the older you get. In case of COVID-19 infection risk of becoming more serious, respectively.
Compared to the 45- to 49-year-old cohort, people aged 60 and over had a 3, 5, 7, 9, and 17-fold increased risk of serious disease, respectively.
For people who have been vaccinated and who have received the booster vaccine, it has been shown to help reduce the risk of serious illness. The risk-reducing effect lasts for about 7 months, but if a person has a congenital disease that causes immunodeficiency. The effect of the risk reduction is shorter than the average person.
The results of this study reinforce our awareness of the importance of regular self-defense. It is not just for the elderly and people with underlying diseases. but it also includes family members who live in the home. It is imperative to live a life that is conscious, reckless and constantly protected.
“Wear a mask properly while going out for daily life, earning a living or studying. This will reduce the risk of infection and reduce the risk of bringing germs into your home.
Also, getting vaccinated as planned with a stimulant needle reduces the risk of serious illness and death. Always keep in mind that COVID-19 is not a common cold. It’s not the flu, it’s not a sparrow. “
“You can become addicted, you can get sick, you can die” and you are at risk of long-term ailments such as “long Covid” which can compromise the quality of life. performance of life, work, including the burden of expenses for the patient, the family, the country
“Preventing infection or not getting reinfected… is the best thing. Taking care of the health of yourself and your family will determine our risk with the best of wishes. “
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thira Woratanarat published information on her personal Facebook page “Thira Woratanarat” that on October 27, 2022 … yesterday around the world another 298,286 people were infected, 896 more deaths, total. Infected with 634,066,329 people, total deaths 6,587,042 people … The top 5 infected are Japan, France, South Korea, Taiwan, Italy.
The World Health Organization has released its weekly WHO epidemiological update report that … The “Omicron” strain of COVID-19 continues to dominate the global epidemic. It was detected in the proportion of 99.7%.
There are currently 390 subspecies of the Omikron shoot, of which 48 subspecies have been crossed to form recombinant species.
BA.5 is also found in a high percentage of 77.1%, BA.4 5.4%, BA.2 4.3%.
For the highly immune XBB subspecies, it has now been detected in 35 countries around the world. While subspecies BQ.1.x was found to be invasive in 65 countries, subspecies resulting from BA.2, BA.4 and BA.5 in particular have mutations Varieties of the virus’s cortical spine region
… in the position of many identical amino acids. In particular, in the localities S: R346X, S: K444X, S: V445X, S: N450X and S: N460X, the same mutation traits for each of the subspecies are not directly descendants. It indicates that the virus is evolving the same way.
which must be carefully observed as it could affect the performance of the virus. Why … The current situation in Thailand is still continuously infected with each other. People should be careful Protect yourself regularly in daily life, including work, study, or travel
I would like to reiterate that … getting a booster vaccination is more important than anything else. Wearing a mask correctly is a routine. This will greatly reduce the risk.
