In early spring, I just felt a little bit of spring, and the epidemic killed a horse gun again.
The epidemic situation in China has become the focus of everyone's attention.
Wu Zunyou, chief expert in epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that this is due to the strong contagiousness, strong secretiveness, mild symptoms and difficulty of detection of Omicron, which makes it more difficult to find the earliest cases in the first place.
Therefore, the current round of epidemics has occurred at multiple points, multiple provinces, and multiple epidemics at the same time.
Obviously, not long after the start of school, are the students going to start online classes again...
Not only is the epidemic in China everywhere, the situation abroad is still grim, Omikron is still raging, and new variants of the new crown pneumonia virus are coming.
Its name is: Deltacron
The name is very familiar, this virus is the product of a combination of the Delta variant of the new coronavirus and the Omicron variant (Delta is about the same time as the Olmiqueron).
In other words, Delta Croon is a "two-in-one" baby.
Why do recombinant viruses appear?
People sometimes contract both variants of the coronavirus at the same time. For example, if you go to a crowded bar where several people are infected, you may be inhaling more than one variant of the virus.
People are sometimes infected with two versions of thecoronavirusat once. For example, if you go to acrowdedbar where several people are infected, you mightbreathe inviruses from more than one of them.
coronavirus Corona virus, coronavirus
Crowded; crowded; (too) crowded; full; crowded
Breathe in inhalation; inhalation
It is possible for both viruses to invade the same cell at the same time. When the cell begins to produce a new virus, the new genetic material may be mixed together, and it is possible to produce a new viral mixture.
It’s possible for twovirusestoinvadethe same cellat the same time. When that cell starts producing new viruses, the newgenetic materialmay bemixed up, potentially producing a new,hybridvirus.

Is Deltakron dangerous?
Delta virus is known to be a variant of COVID-19 that is currently more susceptible to severe illness, while Omilon is highly contagious.
Will the combination of Delta and Aumechjong form a "strong combination"?
Such recombinants are extremely rare. Although it has been around since at least January, it has yet to show the ability to grow exponentially.

Scientists suspect that The unique spikes of Omikeron are also partly responsible for its low chance of causing serious disease. It can invade cells in the nose and upper respiratory tract, but it's not so good deep in the lungs. Delta Croon may show the same tendencies.
At present, many places in the world have found "Delta Croon" patients.
The World Health Organization has also warned that the Delta Croon variant is spreading throughout Europe.
As the number of known confirmed cases is so small, it is too early to know whether Deltakron is highly contagious or whether it will lead to serious illness.
According to foreign media reports, many experts believe that there is no need to worry too much about this variant at present. WHO has also not changed the severity of the outbreak. Research on the Deltakron variant is still ongoing.
No change in severity has been reported, according to WHO, and more studies are underway to learn more about the variant.
Severity n. severe
underway adj. Ongoing; has already begun
In fact, the world has experienced the baptism of the new crown virus pandemic for nearly three years, and there is no need to be afraid in the face of the new mutation of the new crown virus, "deltacron".
Overall, the general trend of mutation of the new crown virus is that the virulence is weakening, the pathogenicity and mortality rate are reduced, and the infectivity and immunogenicity are enhanced.
As the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said:
"COVID-19 is now entering its third year and we are at a critical juncture," he said at an earlier news conference. "We must work together to end the critical phase of the outbreak. We cannot allow it to drag on, oscillating between panic and neglect. ”
"The COVID-19 pandemic is now entering its third year and we are at a critical juncture," he told a news conference earlier. "We must work together to bring the acute phase of this pandemic to an end. We cannot let it continue to drag on, lurching between panic and neglect."
Dr. Zhang Wenhong of the mainland also said:
"This outbreak came very suddenly, not so much that winter has not yet passed, but rather a spring cold."
But when we see the road ahead and the spring that is bound to come, what is there to fear? ”
Therefore, in the face of the "spring cold" of this epidemic, we must not lie flat, and we must believe that there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome!
There is also a topic on Weibo in these two days - those times stolen by the epidemic.
Many people are nostalgic for that summer in 2019.
Looking at the pre-outbreak of the epidemic now, it is like a lifetime.
Hopefully, our "usual" will come soon.
