Biologist Baranova: with the omicron strain COVID-19, a person feels “monstrous fatigue” 
feels very tired and has other symptoms. They were named by Anch Baranova, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor of the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University, in her Telegram channel.
“The omicron's symptoms are noticeable, but not terrible. This is monstrous fatigue, and not at all a cough and snot. The scent does not seem to disappear, “Baranova said.
According to the biologist, the omicron is a separate new strain of the virus that differs from the delta. He is most likely able to evade the action of antibodies that have formed after vaccination against coronavirus or disease. At the same time, the protection of a person will not be completely lost, the specialist believes.
“The chances that the delta will not let the omicron enter its territory are considerable. There is also a chance that the omicron itself will deflate until it reaches us, “Baranova wrote on the social network.
Earlier, Baranova, in an interview with Lenta.ru, explained the main danger of the omicron strain. According to her, it lies in the fact that the omicron has a large number of mutations in those parts to which antibodies produced by the human body are usually attached. Such a structure may lead to the fact that the immunity already formed to other strains will not be effective.
A new COVID-19 strain under code B.1.1.529 was detected in South Africa on November 11, isolated cases were also recorded in Japan , Canada, Spain, Sweden, Egypt, Austria and other countries. The head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, said that no cases of infection with the new strain were detected in Russia.
