The second wave of Corona had not even stopped and the new Delta Plus variant has started scaring everyone. So far this variant has not been detected in UP, but according to medical scientists it will bind to the receptor of lung cells twice as fast as the previous variant. Delta Plus has the potential to cause dangerous pneumonia and inflammation in the body.
Medical College physician Dr. Arvind says that the spike protein found on the surface of the corona virus sticks to the cells and reaches the body. In the delta plus variant, changes have been observed in the virus’s spike protein, which will more rapidly bind to the receptor of the cells.
Dr. Amit Garg, a microbiologist from the Medical College, told that the delta virus must have been active in the passing wave, whose protein has changed. In such a situation, research is being done about Delta Plus. However, the number of patients is increasing rapidly in many countries of the world. In such a situation, a country with a high population density like India needs to be very careful. He said that mutation in the virus does not necessarily make it dangerous and contagious. It can also be weak.
