Scientists in the UK have found that the coronavirus variant in the UK is probably linked to a higher risk of death than other coronavirus variants.
A new document shows that there is evidence that the British version leads to more deaths and hospitalizations, but it is not clear why, The New York Times reported.
It is unclear whether the virus is more deadly because it has a higher viral load or if it is due to external factors, such as the fact that it is more prevalent in those who are more at risk of dying from the virus.
Coronavirus vaccines on the market are able to defend themselves against the UK variant, but it is a cause for concern for many, as vaccine launches have hit areas in some parts of the world.
The strain in the UK is spreading faster than other variants, as the United States already has over 800 cases in 37 states. There are 82 other known countries that have also seen the UK version.
Despite the fact that it transmits faster and probably contributes to more hospitalizations, it is still unusual for young or healthy people to become seriously ill with the virus.
Along with the British thread, South Africa and Brazil also have their own outgoing coronavirus threads. These threads are also in the US, but they are not as widespread.
