Even though the pace of vaccination has skyrocketed and the number of new Covid-19 cases continues to decline in all regions of the United States, the urgency of new strains of the disease remains a major concern. . The COVID Administration Project has reported that the average seven-day cases in the U.S. are down nearly 50% from the peak in mid-January as the number of people hospitalized has fallen for the 28th consecutive day. At the same time, 44.4 million doses were given and last week ‘s daily average was 1.53 million. Despite the progress, a bunch of Covid-19 infectious strains have reached the US and the CDC has warned that one of them, B.1.1.7 or the “UK variable” is likely to be called, in March.

It is reported to be 35-45% more mobile than previous versions of Covid-19, B.1.1.7 which was first detected in the US at the end of December 2020 and is already spreading rapidly in some parts of the country. In January, experts in the UK reported that the strain is also associated with an increased risk of death but more studies are needed to confirm it. The other two series causing warnings are the Brazilian variant (P.1) and the South African mutation (B.1.351). The latter has spread to at least 32 countries and data from South Africa suggest that it is more resistant to vaccines than other variants of the disease. In a bitter blow to the country’s efforts to prevent the pandemic, South Africa has been forced to suspend its use of the AstraZeneca vaccine after limited tests showed it did not provide protection against mumps. or moderate.

To date, nine cases of the South African variant have been detected in the U.S. according to CDC data – six in Maryland, two in South Carolina and one in Virginia. There are three recorded cases of the Brazilian strain of Covid-19, two of them in Minnesota with another example in Oklahoma. Out of the various variables, the UK snoring has spread the most with 932 cases recorded across the US since February 09. Florida has 343 cases of the B.1.1.7 variant, which most of any state. It is followed by California and New York with 156 and 59, respectively. As the UK variety continues to spread not only in the US but also globally, the good news is that most vaccine manufacturers have reported that their looks are still very effective against that particular type of virus.
