Although today, COVID For many, it refers to a past memory where the virus has not gone away. Many of today’s infections are mild, almost like a cold, and occur without symptoms. There is no doubt that a major concern will continue to be the long-term or persistent spread of the novel coronavirus. In other words, once the acute phase of infection is over, symptoms remain It can last several months.
Alarm has been raised by the fact that the Frankenstein variant, the last known strain of Omicron, has emerged in recent months, with some countries recording increases in infections and hospitalizations. Today, this stock has already become a representative. 73% or more According to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), the proportion of all coronavirus infections worldwide. On June 22nd, 28.4%.
latest factIt is compatible with October 8th, so it hasn’t been updated yet, but it’s the closest thing that’s been released. But that lack of connection (the strain, whose technical name is XFG, may have been further circulated in the past month) Genome surveillance report In Argentina, it was included in the latest National Epidemiological Bulletin (BEN). 44th week.
This BEN will investigate variants of Covid circulating globally and locally. In the first case, the temporary reference for reporting the global XFG percentage is Epidemiology Week 22 (Occurred between May 25th and 31st) The variant 22.7% Some of the samples distributed around the world.
Not only did it happen five and a half months ago; same data It was announced by BEN on October 8th, a little over a month ago. Something similar happens in the local scenario. Currently, the following countries have been shown to have a higher proportion of XFG cases: 29.59%. clarion had already published its numbers in early October. When you finally compare and corroborate this BEN 44 report with the BEN 39 report (5 weeks apart), the source of the confusion becomes clear. It’s the same.
So it is assumed that Latest information on genome surveillance It ends up not being like that, but rather something else. After checking the full text, there is no longer any doubt that the “new” content has changed. cloned The fact that there are small variations in the enrolled samples gives us data of already distant antecedents, except for minimal correction of the proportion of XFG in Argentina. With this adjustment, the October results are 28.42% now it gives 29.59.
Those who are distracted may receive this latest report as follows: pretty current photos -BEN always has a delay of about 2 weeks-. However, the data provided is not only outdated; abnormally repeated. Returning to the original idea, it is understandable that for many today the coronavirus refers to a memory of the past, but for this situation to continue in the future it is important that those entrusted with genomic surveillance and its transcription do not give the virus too much freedom.
