Wuhan scientists warn of deadlier variant of coronavirus

Scientists from China's Wuhan have recently flagged concerns regarding another variant of the coronavirus disease, NeoCov, that might be more contagious and could potentially be deadlier than all previous strains.

What is NeoCoV - the new COVID variant?
In the paper, published on the bioRxiv website and yet to be peer-reviewed, the scientist further clarified, NeoCov is related to the Middle East respiratory syndrome or MERS-coronavirus.

The NeoCov virus is discovered in a bat population in South Africa and is currently spreading only among animals, the scientists said and further warned that it has now been found that NeoCoV and PDF-2180-CoV use some types of angiotensin-converting enzyme, including bat ACE2 and human ACE2 for entry.

“Just one mutation is enough for the virus to be able to infiltrate human cells."

The MERS-CoV virus is similar to SARS-CoV-2 in terms of symptoms like fever, cough and shortness of breath and was prevalent in the middle-eastern countries in 2012 and 2015. Many people died due to the infection.

How deadly the virus can be?
The research said MERS-CoV belongs to the lineage C of Beta-CoV (Merbecoviruses), which poses a great threat considering its high case-fatality rate of approximately 35%.

“Our study demonstrates the first case of ACE2 usage in MERS-related viruses, shedding light on a potential bio-safety threat of the human emergence of an ACE2 using “MERS-CoV-2" with both high fatality and transmission rate," the scientists wrote in the study.

According to Chinese researchers, NeoCoV carries the potential combination of MERS-high CoV’s mortality rate (one in every three infected person dies) and the current SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus’s high transmission rate.

Can COVID vaccines protect us?
Prior infections from COVID or vaccination might not be enough to save us from NeoCovid.

“Immunity triggered by prior infection or vaccination of other coronaviruses might be inadequate to protect humans from NeoCoV and PDF-2180-CoV infections because neither SARS-CoV-2 anti-sera nor ten tested anti-MERS-CoV nanobodies can cross-inhibit the infection caused by these two viruses," the researchers stated.

Earlier this week, World Health Organisation officials said that the“Next Covid-19 variant will definitely be more contagious than omicron, but the real question is whether or not it will be more deadly."

Nice.

[DTAC]

Must have escaped from the WIV a couple of weeks ago then.

Final nail in coffin for human race?

[Dohplaydat]

Sick.

[nick639v2]

Oh sweet!!! Love it!!! The chinks are on a roll!!!

[agent007]

Oh great...I was looking forward to Christmas 2022 bring normal once again. Geez when would this nonsense stop.

[hover11]

The precious vaccines will protect us from anything...no worries. Ppl were laughing at China with their strict ZERO Covid policy and having their citizens in containers, I believe China is fully aware of the extent of this virus and simply waiting it out

[widdyphuck]

Carnival still on right?...


Right...?

[paid_influencer]

yup... been hearing talk about the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 and MERS crossing over for some months now. Not saying this particular variant will be the one.. but it is looking like at some point we will get a nightmare hybrid.

worms all out of the can now. lol

[paid_influencer]

Carnival still on right?...


Right...?

yup. OP is not an immediate threat, just a potential mass-extinction route.

[Cantmis]

Moving to North Korea

[widdyphuck]

At some point we all gonna die.
None knows the day neither the hour.

Change your greedy ways tuners.
Be nice to your Family and neighbors.

They are all you have.

[david12]

The what variant? The Neo VVL variant? Anyways let's hope for a miracle fellas. This thing not looking promising going into 22.

[MaxPower]

T&T needs a virus to melt their internals on contact.

Watch how fast they rush to follow the protocols.

[DMan7]

You could make a series of movies with this yes.

[Country_Bookie]

Discovered in bats in South Africa...... well let's hope they don't eat bats there

South African scientists deserve a lot of respect for how quickly they sequenced Omicron and warned the rest of the world. Let's hope they can contain this virus.

[aaron17]

Again ? Steups...end of times yes.

[zoom rader]

Fake news

What dotishness you on?

[VexXx Dogg]

Wait for reliable sources to validate.

Im just saying we are taking this pandemic too lightly.

Max,

There is a certain sector of the population that are of the opinion that this pandemic is over

Correct Jason,

Over a year now.

validate what tho? they aren't claiming this is a present threat, just something that could maybe occur and be a bad thing

Validate the likelihood of it actually happening.

In this thread with my nonsensical comment before we all die from this kung fu cough

I posted something about this some time ago.

The likelihood of a person experiencing a pandemic of similar novel pathogen as COVID-19 is approximately 2% per year, cumulative. A person is therefore likely to experience two pandemics in their lifetime.

Note that the incidence of pandemics is also increasing. Also note that most times the cause is a zoonotic disease, or a so-called animal to human crossover.

--------

Based on the increasing rate at which novel pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2, have spread through human populations in the past 50 years, the study estimates that the probability of novel disease outbreaks will likely grow three-fold in the next few decades.

Using this increased risk factor, the researchers have estimated that a pandemic on a similar scale to COVID-19 is likely to happen within 59 years—a result that, according to them, is “much lower than intuitively expected”.

Notice, big pandemic and China still pressing countries to pay debts.


Chinaaunch this virus. Sure of it now
