COVID: New 'deltacron' Coronavirus Variant Discovered In Cyprus by Emir8: 11:44am On Jan 09, 2022 |
A new variant has a similar genetic background to the Delta variant, together with 10 mutations from Omicron. A new coronavirus variant nicknamed "Deltacron" has been discovered in Cyprus, local media reported on Saturday. The variant has a similar genetic background to the Delta variant, as well as some of the mutations from Omicron, explained Dr. Leondios Kostrikis, the head of the laboratory of biotechnology and molecular virology at the University of Cyprus, according to the Cyprus Mail. In total, 10 of the mutations from Omicron were found in the 25 samples taken in Cyprus. 11 of the samples came from people who were hospitalized due to the virus, while 14 came from the general population. Kostrikis theorized that the fact that the frequency of the mutation among hospitalized patients was higher could point to a correlation between the new variant and hospitalizations. Cyprus's Health Minister Michalis Hadjipandelas stated on Saturday that the new variant was not something to worry about at the moment and expressed pride in the country's scientists for discovering the new variant. "The groundbreaking research and findings of Dr. Kostrikis’ team make us proud of our scientists as this research puts Cyprus on the international map when it comes to health matters," said Hadjipandelas, according to the Cyprus Mail. Cyprus's Health Ministry plans to announce more information about the new variant in a press conference at the beginning of the week. The scientific name of the new variant has not been announced as of yet. The announcement of the new variant comes just a week after a new coronavirus variant, B.1.640.2, was discovered in France. Experts have stated that it seems not to be a cause of concern. Source: https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/article-691926?fbclid=IwAR0p6fX4IE34H3d65d5wlFy6vUKQ5GA_yadgP4mRHHroeo-aQTf8GaqpWyw

Omicron to deltacron, who is bringing out these new names? How are the names derived for this new virus? Wait o, are you sure people are not in the bio lab mixing and releasing different variants of virus to the public and giving it names that suits their intended outcome? |
