Coddy-19 Indian version, experts: Terrible, uniting two mutations

The Indian cronobius variation, known as B.1.617, features two important genetic changes in its surface protein: E484Q and L452R.

In India, for the first time, these mutations appear together, so it also reports of a <x0-mutation double”, which is considered one of the reasons why the country is in such a terrible situation today from the pandemic.

India marks more than 17 million confirmed infections, among the highest in the world after the United States. While the unofficial figure is thought to be even higher. There are especially many cases that appeared in a short time - 332,000 cases in one day that led to the collapse of the health system in many regions still in the back.

For a long time, authorities acted halfheartedly in the fight against the virus, restrictions were released very early, even tolerating large gatherings. The problem with this new form of virus shown there is that it manages to bypass the body's immune system. According to the German Institute, Robert Koch these mutations lead to a “reducing neutralisation from antibodies or T” cells.

Indian version is thought to be at risk of vaccinated and cured by Sars Cov 2. It is not known, but if vaccinated ones can infect others.

SPD expert on health and epidemiologist Carl Lauterbach wrote on Twitter, referring to a study of neutralisation from India, according to which vaccines we currently have operate against India's version. According to one British study, the risk of infection after vaccine is immediately reduced by two thirds.
