Biologist Baranova: there is a danger that the omicron strain will spread among vaccinated Professor at the School of Systems Biology, George Mason University, Virginia, Virginia Doctor of Biological Sciences Ancha Baranova worried about the contactless transmission of a new omicron strain of coronavirus. According to her, this may indicate a high ability to spread this variation of infection, reports TASS. The biologist cited the example of a case in Hong Kong, when people contracted COVID-19 without contacting personally, but one walked along the corridor , where the other had previously visited, in a loosely fitting mask or without it. Baranova added that the omicron strain can spread along with the delta and begin to infect the vaccinated. “That is, a higher level of antibodies will be required for protection.

Biologist Baranova: “Sputnik V” may form stronger immunity to the omicron strain Russian vaccine Sputnik V may form a slightly stronger immunity to the new omicron strain compared to other drugs, Ancha Baranova, professor at the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University (Virginia), Doctor of Biological Sciences, Ancha Baranova, said in an interview with TASS. “Pfizer is already made a statement that within two weeks it will conduct experiments to neutralize [the strain] and will announce how much this virus interacts with antibodies, “- said the biologist, adding that the data will apply to all other vaccines that use full-sized antigen. According to her, the data provided by Pfizer will be approximately relevant for Sputnik. “Sputnik may be doing a little better, by some percentage,” Baranova said, noting that adenovirus vaccines, in principle, create a wider range of immune responses than mRNA vaccines.

WHO: letters 'nude' and 'xi' have been omitted from coronavirus strains to avoid shortcuts The World Health Organization deliberately left out two letters of the Greek alphabet when naming a new strain of coronavirus.

It was decided to omit “Xi” due to the fact that in the English spelling it is identical to the surname Xi. This could cause undesirable associations with the leader of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping. “As far as 'nu' is concerned, people might mistakenly think that this is a new version, rather than a name. “Xi” is a common surname. We agreed on naming rules to avoid
