World leaders are on high alert, worried the virus is already widely seeded across the globe. 一週前，南非首次向世界衛生組織報告了該變體，在加拿大、英國、以色列、比利時、荷蘭、德國、義大利和香港等地發現了該變種。各國元首高度戒備，擔心病毒已經在全球廣泛播種。 The World Health Organization said on Wednesday that omicron has been reported in at least 23 countries. White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said over the weekend that the variant would inevitably arrive in the U.S. On Sunday, two cases were ide ntified in Ontario, Canada. The variant, initially known as B.1.1.529, was fir st detected in South Africa’s Gauteng province, where Johannesburg is located . 世界衛生組織週三表示，至少有23個國家報告了omicron病例。白宮首席醫療顧問博士 Anthony Fauci在週末表示，該變種將不可避免地抵達美國。週日，加拿大安大略省發現了兩例病例。該變體最初被稱為B.1.1.529，最初是在約翰內斯堡所在的南非豪登省檢測到的。 Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel warned Monday that omicron has already spread acro ss the planet. He pointed to flights that arrived in Amsterdam from South Afri ca on Friday in which 61 of 624 passengers tested positive for Covid. A total of 14 of them are infected with the omicron strain, Dutch health authorities s aid. Moderna執行長Stephane Bancel週一警告說，omicron已經在全球蔓延。他指出，週五從南非抵達阿姆斯特丹的航班，其中624名乘客中有61人新冠病毒檢測呈陽性。荷蘭衛生當局表示，其中共有14人感染了Omicron菌株。 Portuguese health authorities said Monday that 13 members and staff of a profe ssional soccer team in Lisbon were infected with the variant after one of its players returned from a trip to South Africa. 葡萄牙衛生當局週一表示，里斯本一支職業足球隊的13名成員和工作人員在一名球員從南非旅行回來後感染了該變體。 “We also believe it is already present in most countries,” Bancel said. “I believe most countries that have direct flights from South Africa in the last seven to 10 days already have cases in their country that they may not be awar e of.” Bancel說：“我們也認為它已經在大多數國家存在了。” “我相信，在過去七到10天內，大多數從南非直飛航班的國家都已經有可能未警惕的病例。” The U.S. imposed a travel ban starting Monday for noncitizens who have travele d in South Africa and seven other nearby nations in the past 14 days. The U.K. and the European Union have implemented similar travel restrictions. 美國從週一開始對過去14天在南非和其他七個鄰近國家旅行的非公民實施旅行禁令。英國和歐盟實施了類似的旅行限制。 President Joe Biden said Monday he is directing the Food and Drug Administrati on and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to use the “fastest pro cess available without cutting any corners” to approve potential vaccines tha t target omicron and get them on the market. 拜登總統週一表示，他將指示食品藥品監督管理局和疾病控制和預防中心使用“在不去除角落的情況下最快的過程”來批准針對Omicron的潛在疫苗，並將其推向市場。 The current Covid vaccines are believed to provide at least some protection fr om the heavily mutated omicron strain, and booster shots “strengthen that pro tection significantly,” Biden said in a speech at the White House. Biden在白宮的一次演講中說，據信當前的新冠肺炎疫苗至少可以提供一些保護，以防止嚴重變異的微米菌株，而助推器注射“顯著加強了這種保護”。 Omicron was classified as a “variant of concern” by the World Health Organiz ation on Friday, meaning it is more contagious, more virulent or more skilled at evading public health measures, vaccines and therapeutics. The variant cont ains more than 30 mutations to the spike protein that allows the virus to ente r the body. The new strain has roughly 50 mutations in total, including 10 alo ne to the receptor binding domain, the part of the virus that first comes in c ontact with cells. 歐米克隆週五被世界衛生組織歸類為“令人關切的變體”，這意味著它更具傳染性、毒性更大或更擅長逃避公共衛生措施、疫苗和治療。該變體包含30多個尖峰蛋白突變，允許病毒進入身體。新菌株總共大約有50個突變，包括受體結合域的10個突變，受體結合域是病毒中首次接觸細胞的部分。週五被世界衛生組織歸類為“令人關切的變種”，這意味著它更具傳染性、毒性更大或更擅長逃避公共衛生措施、疫苗和治療。該變體包含30多個Spike 蛋白突變，允許病毒進入身體。新菌株總共大約有50個突變，包括受體結合域的10個突變，受體結合域是病毒中首次接觸細胞的部分。 Officials have warned that many of these mutations could lead to increased ant ibody resistance and transmissibility, which could limit the effectiveness of Covid vaccines. 官員們警告說，其中許多突變可能導致抗體耐藥性和透發性增加，這可能限制新冠疫苗的有效性。 Dr. Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, describ ed the symptoms linked to omicron as “extremely mild” so far. However, Bance l warned that the symptoms reported in South Africa may not be a good predicto r of the variant’s virulence since less than 5% of the population is over 60 and there are far fewer comorbidities than in the U.S. and Europe, where peopl e tend to be older and sicker. 醫生南非醫學協會主席Angelique Coetzee將迄今為止與Omicron相關的症狀描述為“極其輕微”。然而，Bancel警告說，南非報告的症狀可能不是該變體毒性的良好預測因素，因為不到5%的人口超過60歲，與美國和歐洲相比，併發症遠遠少，那裡的人往往年齡更大、更生病。 “I think today, it’s really impossible to know ... I don’t believe that wha t’s going to happen in the coming week or two in South Africa will be predict ing to be full virulence of a virus,” Bancel said. “我認為今天，真的不可能知道...... Bancel說：“我不相信未來一兩週南非將發生的事情會預測病毒的完整毒性。” WHO, vaccine makers move quickly against new omicron Covid variant Drugmakers have responded quickly to the new variant. Pfizer and BioNTech said they are investigating omicron and could adapt their vaccine if needed. Johns on & Johnson said it was already testing its vaccine against the variant. Mode rna said it will test three booster candidates against omicron, including a hi gher dosage of its original Covid booster. The company also said it will devel op a booster dose specific to the variant. 世衛組織、疫苗製造商迅速打擊新的Omicron新冠肺炎變種藥品製造商對新的變種做出了快速反應。辉瑞和BioNTech表示，他們正在研究微米，如果需要，他們可以調整疫苗。強生公司表示，它已經在對照變體進行疫苗測試。 Modern a表示，它將用omicron測試三名補充劑候選種，包括其原始Covid補充劑的更高劑量。該公司還表示，它將開發特定於該變體的補充劑量。心得/評論： ※必需填寫滿20字 Omicron 相信不是第一個，也不會是最後一個變種病毒。現在買什麼股票都有風險，是不是定投大盤最適合呢？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 149.233.56.178 (德國) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Stock/M.1638386214.A.2E3.html
