by

At a time when the whole planet is fortified against the Omicron mutation, new optimistic data come to light that show that the symptoms of the new strain are very mild and look like those of a simple cold.

At the heart of the new variant, South Africa, is there an increase in cases within a week, with experts talking about high transmissibility of the new strain, but the vast majority of patients presents a lot mild symptoms.

According to major international agencies, such as CNN and Bloomberg, many patients were admitted to the hospital for other reasons and only after a test was found to have been infected by the Omicron strain and in fact they need fewer medical interventions.

A second finding of research in South Africa is that the Omicron variant virus is not invulnerable to T-lymphocytes, which are significantly enhanced by third dose of the vaccine.

In any case, many studies are needed for the scientific community to draw safe conclusions about the Omicron variant, but based on the above data, there is hope that the end of the coronavirus may not be far off.
