The corona epidemic has caused a worldwide outcry, in the meantime, information emerged that the new variant of the coronavirus first found in Britain is not more frightening than the original, but it is more contagious. Research published in 'The Lancet Infectious Diseases' and 'The Lancet Public Health' found no witness that B.1.1.7. Individuals infected with the form have relatively severe symptoms or are at risk of being infected longer than patients infected with any other variant.
According to the study, B.1.1 .7. The relative initial data indicates that it is more contagious due to the high viral load (the amount of virus in the body) in individuals infected with the virus. Some evidence has indicated that the higher the viral load, the greater the need for admitting individuals to the hospital. They are also more likely to die. However, this variant has been identified recently, so this research was done only on the basis of existing data.
The same research published in the journal 'The Lancet Public Health' studied data of 36,920 individuals using the 'Corona Symptom Study' app, who were found to be infected between September and December 2020. Claire Steve, involved in the research, said, "We confirm it to be more contagious, but we also showed that B.1.1. 7. But the lockdown has a clear effect and seems to be ineffective against the resistance generated after being infected with the original virus''.
