Furthermore, a new study has warned that the B117 Covid variant could cause another surge in cases. First identified in the UK, B117 is known to be more contagious than current dominant strains in the US.

“We remain in a very serious situation,” said Dr Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at a White House Covid-19 taskforce briefing on Monday.

New variants of the virus, for example, could create a new wave of infections, even in people who have been vaccinated or previously exposed. That could slow progress toward herd immunity – or, if the virus successfully evades vaccines, it could put herd immunity out of reach.

Vaccine concerns rise as variant fuelling UK infections mutates

The more infectious B.1.1.7 variant that has come to dominate coronavirus infection in the UK is evolving further mutations, which scientists say will make existing vaccines less effective at preventing infection.

If confirmed by other vaccine trials currently under way in South Africa, the finding that people who have already had Covid-19 can get infected again by a new variant could have important repercussions for the world’s fight against the coronavirus pandemic. It suggests that reaching herd immunity through natural infection may be difficult if the virus mutates in ways that allow it to evade the human immune response.

The slowdown in the manufacturing sector underscores the fragility of the ongoing economic recovery in China, as Beijing grapples with a resurgence of local Covid-19 cases in northern China and navigates rising tensions with Washington and its allies.

The most immediate danger is that optimism and exhaustion will overwhelm our common sense, and we will reopen just as the new strains are quietly building momentum.

Fact.MR, a global research firm, in its latest report on the global Nipah virus testing market will exhibit a steady CAGR in 2021 & beyond. Growth of the Nipah virus testing can be primarily attributed to the unexpected outbreaks of Nipah virus infection. Increase in research & development, WHO support as well as government funding in the area of Nipah virus treatment and testing is encouraging the growth of the industry.

Be patient and be farsighted, only then you will earn abundantly.

We won’t be rid of it, but we will tolerate Covid-19, to varying degrees; we might enter an age in which, at least until a more robust long-term vaccination programme is put in place, every winter there will be people who will die of Covid-19, with many cases in hospital wards, says Altmann. The world will “accept it as a sort of societal cost”.

Exactly how large, or frequently occurring, that societal cost is will depend on a variety of factors, Eggo says. This includes how long immunity lasts (both infection-acquired and vaccine-acquired), how much transmission is affected by the changing of the seasons, and how – and if – the genetics of the virus changes to escape population immunity. “These big questions will be tackled by scientists over the next months and years,” Eggo says, “and will help us understand, plan for, and mitigate what comes next.”

Smart investors shall have glove stocks in their portfolio to hedge against uncertainty in the midst of pandemic. Don't be irrational and emotional naysayers.

It's ok, just relax... Take it easy.

Unlike the South African variant, the Brazilian variant doesn’t have the mutation that makes it more infectious, but it does have the E484K mutation, which raises the unsettling possibility that “it could possibly overcome the vaccine, and it may reinfect.”

To end the pandemic, we need to achieve population immunity. That will take time: Potentially as much as 18 months, based on current production forecasts.

Back to fundamentals... Be greedy when others are fearful.

A day after US President Donald Trump said a coronavirus vaccine could be ready within weeks and possibly before the presidential election, pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca announced its clinical trials would be temporarily suspended, adding to fears the process was being rushed.

The drug company is one of several Trump is relying on to find a vaccine ahead of the November 3 poll.
