The two diseases Corona and Omicron claim to have spread simultaneously in the country

New Delhi, Dt
Cases of Omicron variant along with Corona virus are also on the rise in India. At the time, scientists were trying to find out if Omicron was a completely different epidemic. Virologist and former president of the Indian Council of Medical Research, Dr. T. “There is a strong possibility that two epidemics, Corona and Omicron, are spreading simultaneously in the country,” said Jacob John. Meanwhile, since April 2020, an estimated 1.5 million children in the country have lost the umbrella of either mother or father due to coronary heart disease or other causes, the NCPCR said.
“I believe that variants of Omicron corona are not derived from alpha, beta, gamma, delta, kappa or mute,” said Joanne, a former director of the Center for Advanced Research in Virology at the Indian Council of Medical Research. The Omicron is a new variant of an unknown lineage, but it may have been associated with the Wuhan-D412G, the beginning of the Corona epidemic. D312G refers to an amino acid mutation in this protein, which is rapidly becoming common in SARS-COV-2 viruses worldwide.
He added that Omicron corona is somewhat different from the epidemic and therefore it is believed that the two diseases are spreading simultaneously. Diseases caused by corona and omicron are also different. One is pneumonia-hypoxia-multiorgan disease, but the other is upper / middle respiratory disease. Regarding the third wave of Corona in the country, Joanne said that the transition to metros had taken place first and would end first.
Meanwhile, the National Commission for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (NCPCR) told the Supreme Court that since April 1, 2020, an estimated 1,6,8 children have lost one or both of their parents due to the Koro epidemic and other causes. Regarding the care and protection of children orphaned during the Koro epidemic in the Suomoto case, the NCPCR said that the figures were based on data uploaded by the States and Union Territories on their Bal Swaraj portal ‘Covid Care’ till January 11.
According to the portal, Odisha has the highest number of 4,605, Maharashtra 13,8, Gujarat 12,50, Tamil Nadu 11,018, Uttar Pradesh 9,8, Andhra Pradesh 2,50, Madhya Pradesh 9,50, West Bengal 4,9, Delhi 4.5 and 4.5 children have been orphaned in Rajasthan. The commission told the apex court that the data uploaded on the portal shows that the total number of children in need of care and protection is 1,8,6, including 10,05 orphaned children and children who have lost one of their parents. The number is 1,2,610.
