Mai kahi o 200 mau hihia hou i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā i nā pule i hala aku nei, ua ʻike ʻo ʻApelika Hema i ka nui o nā hihia hou i kēlā me kēia lā i ʻoi aku ma mua o 3,200 Pōʻaono, ʻo ka hapa nui ma Gauteng.
Ke paʻakikī nei e wehewehe i ka piʻi koke ʻana o nā hihia, ua aʻo nā ʻepekema i nā laʻana virus a ʻike i ka ʻano hou.I kēia manawa, ʻo ka nui o 90% o nā hihia hou ma Gauteng ke kumu o ia, e like me ka Tulio de Oliveira, ka luna o ka KwaZulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform.

No ke aha e hopohopo nei ka poʻe ʻepekema e pili ana i kēia ʻano hou?
Ma hope o ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana i kahi pūʻulu o ka poʻe loea e loiloi i ka ʻikepili, ua ʻōlelo ka WHO "ʻo nā hōʻike mua e hōʻike ana i ka piʻi nui o ka reinfection me kēia ʻano like ʻole," i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ia hoʻi ka poʻe i hoʻopaʻa i ka COVID-19 a hoʻōla i hiki ke hopu hou ʻia.
ʻIke ʻia ka nui o nā mutations - ma kahi o 30 - i ka protein spike coronavirus, hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ka maʻalahi o ka laha ʻana i nā kānaka.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sharon Peacock, ka mea nāna i alakaʻi i ka genetic sequencing o COVID-19 ma Pelekane ma ke Kulanui o Cambridge, ua ʻōlelo ka ʻikepili i kēia manawa i ka ʻano hou he mutations "kūlike me ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana," akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo "ʻo ke ʻano o ka nui o nā mutations. ʻaʻole naʻe i ʻike ʻia.
Ua wehewehe ʻo Lawrence Young, he virologist ma ke Kulanui o Warwick, ʻo ka omicron "ʻo ka mana nui loa o ka maʻi a mākou i ʻike ai," me nā loli hopohopo i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua o ka maʻi like.
___
He aha ka mea i ʻike ʻia a ʻike ʻole ʻia e pili ana i ka VARIANT?
Ua ʻike nā kānaka ʻepekema he ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa ka omicron mai nā ʻano ʻokoʻa mua me ka beta a me nā ʻano delta, akā ʻaʻole maopopo i kēia mau hoʻololi genetic e hoʻololi a weliweli paha.I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe mea hōʻike ʻia ke kumu o ka maʻi koʻikoʻi.
He mau pule paha ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana inā ʻoi aku ka maʻi o ka omicron a inā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā lāʻau lapaʻau e kūʻē iā ia.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Peter Openshaw, he kaukaʻi o ka lāʻau lapaʻau hoʻokolohua ma Imperial College London "ʻaʻole hiki ke hana ʻia" ʻaʻole e hana nā kano o kēia manawa, me ka ʻike ʻana he kūpono lākou i nā ʻano ʻē aʻe.
ʻOiai ke hopohopo nei kekahi o nā hoʻololi genetic o ka omicron, ʻaʻole maopopo ia inā e hoʻoweliweli lākou i ke olakino.ʻO kekahi mau ʻokoʻa mua, e like me ka ʻano beta, i hoʻomaka mua i nā ʻepekema ʻepekema akā ʻaʻole i pau i ka laha loa.
"ʻAʻole mākou i ʻike inā hiki i kēia ʻano hou ke loaʻa kahi paʻa i nā wahi i loaʻa ai ka delta," wahi a Peacock o ke Kulanui o Cambridge."Aia ka jure i ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana o kēia ʻano ʻokoʻa ma kahi o nā ʻano ʻē aʻe e neʻe nei."
I kēia lā, ʻo delta ka mea nui loa o COVID-19, ʻoi aku ma mua o 99% o nā kaʻina i waiho ʻia i ka ʻikepili lehulehu nui o ka honua.
___
Pehea i ku mai ai keia ano hou?
Hoʻololi ka coronavirus i kona pālahalaha ʻana a me nā ʻano hou he nui, me ka poʻe e hopohopo nei i nā loli genetic, make pinepine.Nānā nā kānaka ʻepekema i nā kaʻina COVID-19 no nā mutations i hiki ke hoʻololi a make paha ka maʻi, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻoholo i ka nānā wale ʻana i ka maʻi.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Peacock "ua ulu aʻe paha ka ʻano i loko o ka mea i maʻi ʻia akā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka maʻi, e hāʻawi ana i ka maʻi i ka manawa e ulu ai," i kahi ʻano like me ka manaʻo o ka poʻe loea i ka ʻano alpha - i ʻike mua ʻia ma ʻEnelani - ua puka mai nō hoʻi, ma ka hoʻololi ʻana i kahi kanaka immune-compromised.
KUPONO NEI NA PALAPALA HELE E KEKAHI MAU AINA?
Malia paha.
Ke papa aku nei ʻo ʻIseraʻela i nā malihini mai ke komo ʻana i ke kalana a ua hoʻōki ʻo Morocco i nā huakaʻi mokulele honua holoʻokoʻa.
Ke kau nei kekahi mau ʻāina ʻē aʻe i nā mokulele mai ʻApelika Hema.
Hāʻawi ʻia i ka piʻi wikiwiki ʻana o COVID-19 ma ʻApelika Hema, ʻo ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka huakaʻi mai ka ʻāina he "akamai" a e kūʻai hou aku i nā luna i ka manawa, wahi a Neil Ferguson, he loea maʻi maʻi ma Imperial College London.
Akā ua ʻike ʻo WHO e kaupalena ʻia kēlā mau palena i kā lākou hopena a koi aku i nā ʻāina e wehe i nā palena.
Ua manaʻo ʻo Jeffrey Barrett, ka luna o COVID-19 Genetics ma Wellcome Sanger Institute, ʻo ka ʻike mua ʻana o ka ʻano hou e hiki ke manaʻo i nā mea paʻa i lawe ʻia i kēia manawa he hopena nui aʻe ma mua o ka wā i puka mua ai ka ʻano delta.
"Me ka delta, ua nui nā pule he nui i loko o ka nalu weliweli o India ma mua o ka maopopo ʻana i ka mea e hana nei a ua kanu mua ʻo delta iā ia iho i nā wahi he nui o ka honua a ua lohi loa e hana i kekahi mea e pili ana iā ia," wahi āna."Aia paha mākou ma kahi mua me kēia ʻano hou no laila aia paha ka manawa e hana ai i kekahi mea e pili ana."
Ua ʻōlelo ke aupuni o ʻApelika Hema e mālama pono ʻole ʻia ka ʻāina no ka mea ua holomua ka genomic sequencing a hiki ke ʻike wikiwiki i ka ʻano like ʻole a noi i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe e noʻonoʻo hou i nā papa huakaʻi.
