corona pandemic (Covid Pandemic) Has given tension to people all over the world. Due to the arrival of new variants one after the other, there has been a lot of panic in the minds of the people. People could not even forget the shock of the second wave that now the new variant of Corona is Omicron. (Omicron Variant) Scaring everyone. Many researchers are doing research on this virus. After research, many experts are claiming that due to the arrival of Omicron variants, now Corona (Covid-19) The epidemic may soon reach the endemic stage (local disease). However, Oxford virologist Eris Katjorakis does not think so.
He has warned policy makers around the world about this. He said, ‘I am disappointed when policy makers use the word ‘endemic’, expressing their intention to do nothing about the corona pandemic. Referring to the development journey of Corona virus, Prof. Katjorakis has warned that more dangerous forms of it could emerge in the future. In this matter, an article of his has been published in the prestigious journal ‘Nature’.
He said that it would be wrong to say that COVID-19 will soon become a local disease from the epidemic and it will not be difficult to treat. He said that the word endemic is being misused the most instead of pandemic. This does not mean that the corona virus will be eradicated naturally. Aris Katjorakis is Professor of Viral Evolution and Genomics at Oxford University.
Pro. Katjorakis explained that when a disease reaches an ‘endemic’ stage, it limits the number of people it can infect. The common cold is endemic. Similarly, there were also malaria, polio and smallpox, but after the introduction of the vaccine, all these diseases have become endemic.
Earlier, the World Health Organization said that it is not possible to eliminate the COVID-19 virus, as such viruses never go away and eventually become part of the social system. Explaining the trend of the virus, the doctors also noted that SARS-CoV-2, commonly known as COVID-19, is an RNA virus. That is, it contains ribonucleic acid as genetic material, which is produced thousands of times.
