by

A new study launched in the UK by Imperial College reveals that the new version of COVID-19 is spreading faster and affecting younger people.

RELATED: THE NEW “MORE CONTAGIOUS” CORONAVIRUS VARIANCE WAS FOUND NOT TO CAUSE SEVERE DISEASES.

Examining growth trends

“WWe examine the increasing trends of S gene target (SGTF) failures and the number of non-SGTF cases at the local area in England and show that the Variance of Concern (VOC) has a higher transmissibility than non-VOC progeny has a different latency period or generation time. Available SGTF data indicate a change in the age composition of reported cases, with a higher share of children under 20 among reported VOCs than in non-VOC cases, ”the study shows.

However, the new research does not contradict previous studies that found that the new strain did not have a higher mortality rate and that current vaccines will be effective against it.

Breaking point

In the meantime, the intensive care unit has issued an announcement stating that the UK’s intensive care unit is on the verge of a break.

“Intensive care units (ICUs) are under extreme pressure as they continue to care for the sickest patients with COVID-19, as well as provide care for other seriously ill patients in need of intensive care. We see news reports that the number of ICU beds is running out. The problem is not the beds, the problem is the lack of staff available to take care of these very bad patients. A bed does not take care of a patient, it is the team of incredible doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, advanced practitioners, pharmacists and health scientists who fight to keep you alive “, the note states.

The announcement added that the country is in the middle of a second wave of infections 53.135 new COVID-19 cases reported on December 29, 2020 by the Department of Health and Social Welfare and that there is a very high risk that the staff of intensive care units will be overwhelmed.
