Omicron Covid Variant-19 : This Is All We Know Now
As far as the Covid-19 variant goes, "Omicron" of course attracts your attention. It’s name sounds uncomfortable.
The World Health Organization classifies it as a variant that is a concern at the end of November. And, at this time, the number of positive omicron cases increased throughout the country.
But what else do we know about it?
Omicron variant spreads much easier
As far as the experts see directly through our own data, the transmission of the Omicron variant is very alarming.
Omicron is the cause of most new Covid-19 cases in all Houston Methodist patients in less than three weeks. In comparison, Delta variant - which brings chaos this summer and autumn - takes around three months to exceed 80% of the total cases that were originally detected in Houston.
Though, some experiential reports recommend that the omicron variant is less terrible, it is too early to find out even if this is correct.
Monoclonal antibodies available are much more effective against omicron variants
Unfortunately, it is also clear that two monoclonal antibodies that are most often available are much more effective against omicron variants.
Both remedies play an crucial role in the primary treatment of Covid-19 in people who are not vaccinated ( not immunized) or vaccinated ( immunized) but at high risk.
Sotrovimab seems to be the only treatment of monoclonal antibodies which are currently still effective against variants, but not many are available now - only take into account the fraction of what the government is bought and distributed.
Now it's time to get your Covid-19 booster
A substantial increase in Covid-19 case is about, and it's time to get your Covid-19 booster if you qualify. India is yet to plan for it.
We already know Booster helps protect people from becoming serious illness with Delta variants and rolling data that shows this protection may also extend to the Omicron variant.
In fact, Pfizer announced the results of laboratory studies that showed that three doses of Covid-19 vaccine offering better protection against omicron and moderna variants have released initial data showing similar results for the third dose. And a new report shows that the dose of Booster Johnson & Johnson shows the promise of Omicron too.
Our best defence against Covid-19 remains the same
The best way to stay safe from Covid-19 - Omicron variants included - is to realize the environment and spread of your community in your area, and run Covid-19 prevention actions that we know, including:
- Get vaccinated
- Get your Covid-19 booster once qualified
- Wear a mask
- Keep social distance in the indoor public spaces
- Avoid the indoor crowd
- Wash hands
- Avoid touching your face
Even if you are immunized and improved, you still have to wear a mask in public or around people who are loved ones who are vulnerable (at risk) and avoid the crowd at this time.
Just in case not vaccinated is at the greatest risk - no matter the variant
New variants or not, the most urgent problems are too many people who are still not vaccinated.
In fact, Judge County Harris Lina Hidalgo reported that death related to Houston's first Omicron was a patient who was not vaccinated in the age of 50.
We know our best, effective and best defence vaccine against viruses. Even if you have Covid-19, get vaccination. The immunity offered by vaccination is powerful and lasts longer than natural immunity.
Plus, data shows that adults who are not vaccinated are twice as possible to reintake with Covid-19 than those who are vaccinated after recovering from their disease.
Whether you are hesitant about Covid-19 vaccines or don't really consider you can't get Covid-19 twice, make sure you read trusted information about the vaccine and reach your doctor if you have unanswered questions.
