Double mutant: How dangerous is the new strain of corona virus in India?

Image
  GETTY IMAGES A new strain of corona virus, a double mutant, has been discovered in samples obtained in India. It combines two different types of viruses to form the same virus. Scientists are trying to determine if the strain is more dangerous or if the vaccine is less effective. But what is this 'double mutant' type? Like any other type of virus, the corona virus changes its form from person to person. The large number of changes in shape is insignificant and does not affect the behavior of the virus. But sometimes it causes a change in the protein form of the virus that allows it to enter human cells. Therefore, these types of viruses are more dangerous and can spread easily. These strains cause more deadly diseases or are not vaccinated. Vaccines protect us from respiratory diseases, such as SARS-CO2, a virus that spreads COD-19. The vaccine builds up immunity in our body and the antibodies to the virus are released. The best type of vaccine is one that contain...

Image
EPA Samar Ahmed, a 30-year-old woman between the ages of 70 and over, was vaccinated at the PIMS Hospital in the federal capital Islamabad on Thursday. It is thought that Samar may be a health worker who is being vaccinated on a priority basis with older citizens, but this is not the case. So the question is, how did this happen? Samar Ahmed is a pastry chef by profession and his mother is a doctor. Speaking to the BBC, she said her mother registered when the government asked her to register for the corona vaccine in February. "I thought I'd send my details too." Meanwhile, Samar registered his data on the website of the National Information Technology Board (NITB). Shortly afterwards, Samar received a verification code from the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) at around 2.30 pm. "It came as a surprise to me because my 60-year-old father is yet to register," Samar said. And I got the verification code. " In the message received from NADR...

  l The Colonel is also gaining ground outside India, including the United Kingdom Controversial herbal remedies are once again reported in India to be very effective against the corona virus. The compound, called Coronal, was recently launched at an event attended by some Indian government ministers. But there is no evidence that this 'medicine' works and misleading claims have been made about its use. What do we know about the mixture? It is a blend of herbs used in traditional Indian medicine and is being sold by a large Indian company called Patanjali, Coronal. This 'medicine' first appeared in June last year and was advertised by the famous yoga guru Baba Ramdev. They presented it as a "cure" for Code 19 without any basis. But later the Indian government had to intervene and stop its marketing. The government said there was no data to prove that it could cure the corona virus. However, the government approved its sale as an 'immuni...

His name was Amir Mehdi. And their job was to carry their heavy loads up and down the mountains.     Amir Mehdi was a mountaineer but he wanted to fly the Pakistani flag on the top of K2.
