American epidemiologist Francis Collins estimated the likelihood of rapid spread of a new strain of coronavirus around the world .
According to him, the new strain of coronavirus has all the signs of rapid reproduction. But there is no likelihood that Omicron will be able to compete with Delta yet, Collins added.

It is unclear whether Omicron is more contagious than other options, including Delta. The strain has not been fully studied. But the virus does not get tired of us, and it itself changes shape. If you imagine that we are at the racetrack, he is trying to catch up with us and we must use every opportunity from our set of tools to avoid being in a situation that further aggravates the situation, “- said the American epidemiologist.
On the topic
In turn, Ukrainian epidemiologists emphasize that Omicron will not bypass Ukraine.
As for therapy, it is unchanged in the new strain: early antiviral therapy, early hospitalization with disease progression and only then the rapid and timely appointment of corticosteroids and other immunomodulators.
The main thing, according to the Honored Doctor and Chief Infectious Diseases Specialist Olga Golubovska, is not to ignore the early treatment of any coronavirus infection.
This drug was developed by Ukrainian and Israeli scientists.
It is already registered in Israel and, according to the developers, will soon be presented in Ukraine.
Researchers explain that a medical device works very simply. The solution enters the respiratory tract through a nebulizer (stationary or portable, – ed.).
According to them, the chemical and physical action of the drug is aimed at the direct destruction of any pathogen at the site of its greatest accumulation on the human mucous membranes in the respiratory tract and prevents replication of the virus, preventing the disease from progressing to a more severe stage.
