Omicron In India: Know Omicron Will Take But Much Less Than Second Wave 1 News Track English

Omicron In India: India is surrounded by a new storm of Corona in India and this storm can also take lives. But the hope is that this storm will not be as terrible as the wave of Delta Variant in India.

30 to 50 percent fear of death due to second wave

University of Michigan professor Bhramar Mukherjee has said that there are going to be many more cases of Omicron in India and it is estimated that 30 to 50 percent of the lives may be lost in comparison to the second wave. . Professor Mukherjee (University of Michigan professor Bhramar Mukherjee) has said that it is believed that 50 percent of people who have been infected with at least one vaccine or previously may be re-infected by Omicron. If we use the severity estimates from South Africa, the second wave is expected to kill 30 to 50 percent.

One advantage of India is that many people have had two vaccines and a large number of people have had chronic infections. Such people are about 40 percent. This means that even without the booster, this group may do well in the case of re-infection of the corona disease. Such people will not face the need of hospitalization. But these expectations are based on several assumptions, which may or may not last in India.

It is difficult for India to estimate disease severity and mortality.

Professor Mukherjee (University of Michigan professor Bhramar Mukherjee) says that it is difficult for India to estimate the severity of the disease and the mortality rate, because we do not have accurate statistics on hospitalizations or even mortality figures. . Apart from the corona variant, the collapse of health care and essential services is also a big factor for the additional mortality.
