Multiple incarnations of Corona and the weapon of Vaccine
Team SPPD Dec 01, 2021
Within a span of two years the world has been turned upside
down. Even as the world is grappling with the impacts of the deadly breakouts
of the corona virus in the forms of Corona’s deadlier variants are being
reported. Followed by covid19 came the
deadly variant of delta. Of course the vaccination has been invented in various
countries giving a great relief.
Vaccine has brought big relief to the people in general but the volume of number of vaccinated
persons varies widely from country to country. The poor countries of the south
such as the African nations the population covered with vaccination is very
poor. Even in countries like India not all people have been covered leaving a
good chunk of persons remaining not being vaccinated.
The WHO (World Health
Organization) has asked international communities to be much more cautious in
the coming days about the transmission of this
deadly OMICRON Variant. It is reported that the OMICRON Variant roughly has
undergone about 30 mutations making it a mind boggling thing even for the
scientific community the world over.
Another aggressive wave of transmission has been wreaking
havoc in many countries like Germany etc forcing them to declare lock downs. Now
a new variant of the virus called Omicron has been found to be spreading in
parts of the world.
This new variant of Omicron is found to be extremely more potent than the
other variants found so far, sending shivers down the spine to the
international community. First it was detected in South Africa soon prompting many
nations to suspend travel to and from that country. Soon after this in countries like Israel, Belgium etc. It has
also entered India with Delhi and Mumbai reporting cases from the travelers
from abroad.
This pandemic has also
brought to light is the stark reality of Vaccine Inequity and Social
vaccination is another term that is also widely discussed now. Such terms only
bring out the importance of vaccination against this deadly virus.
Though vaccination cannot prevent contracting the virus it
can certainly greatly reduce the grave impacts of the same, more in particular
the loss of life. And hence let us all make it a point to contribute towards
vaccinating our own selves and strive to help others to get vaccinated as early
as possible.
