Eric Feigl-Ding氏の投稿 C12変異株と、デルタ株の派生変異株「フェスティバル変異株」が出現することへの懸念

📍Breaking—Fears growing that a new #DeltaVariant subvariant has emerged after 5000 young people infected from attending a 53,000 music festival in Cornwall—linked genetically to a Delta subtype. The region now has the highest #COVID19 rate in England. 🧵 inews.co.uk/news/health/bo… pic.twitter.com/dKeEfENXO2

2) “It was traced because they can identify where it came from by genetic changes in the code.” While it is being referred to among hospital staff in Devon and Cornwall as the “festival variant”, it is believed to be a new strain of Delta rather than an entirely new variant.”

3) ““It’s still the Delta variant but they can say it came from the festival, hence why it is being called the ‘festival variant’,” added the official. The South-west peninsula now home to eight of the top ten areas in England with the highest rates of infection.

4) “The figures also show that around half of all infections in England are among those under 30, with the highest rate of infection now in the 10 to 19-year-old age bracket.” ⚠️

5) “Cornwall Council has already linked almost 5,000 Covid infections to Boardmasters, with local health officials saying they “won’t know the complete picture for another few days.”

6) a senior scientific advisor has warned that such mass gatherings offer the virus a far greater opportunity to spread than any other outdoor event type. Professor John Drury called on the Government to mandate festival organisers to implement stronger measures to mitigate.

7) Speaking in a personal capacity, Professor Drury said: “Different mass events have been found to be associated with very different rates of infection, and one factor explaining this is the crowd culture.”

8) And we can expect greater physical intimacy– touching, close interaction, hugging, sharing drinks etc – at a music festival than at other large events.

9) “One of the key reasons that some people are engaging less with these basic protective behaviours is that the Government has basically said ‘it’s safe now, it’s fine, you’re not going to die’. We need to support new norms around safety at the festivals.”

Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing

10) Dr Zubaida Haque, a member of Independent Sage, added: “The thing about mass gatherings is that people are right to think outside is safer than inside, but it’s the travelling back and forth to the mass gatherings that’s one of the main issues.

11) If that mass gathering is for several days, like a music festival, then there’s also going to be a lot more contact between people, which give the virus more opportunity to spread.”

12) Has this sort of mass superspread we thing happened before? Yes, recently after Eurocup soccer matches where young people gathered. twitter.com/drericding/sta…

13) Music festivals are incredibly dangerous it’s seems. Netherlands epidemics after music festivals show even higher infection rates. twitter.com/drericding/sta…

Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing

~1000 infected out of 20,000-person music festival in the Netherlands. Maybe this type of thing is bad idea during a pandemic while #DeltaVariant ⬆️? NL also had the sharpest #COVID19 spike in the world last week. Now I worry for soccer ⚽️ even more. 🧵 ad.nl/utrecht/bijna-… pic.twitter.com/dOOt5xpSqk

14) the @WHO has even specifically warned about sporting events and mass gatherings, even if seemingly outdoors. It’s the side gatherings and after hour events most dangerous. twitter.com/drericding/sta…

Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing

Big sporting events are risky, not necessarily because of the outdoors stadium 🏟 game itself, but #COVID19 risky because of mass gatherings of fans outside of the stadium, especially indoors in the pubs & with fan after-parties. Remember #COVIDisAirborne. pic.twitter.com/mAPBHQD6uQ

15) But @BorisJohnson says it’s acceptable if 1000 people die from #COVID19 every week. Don’t expect UK 🇬🇧 govt action anymore - they have abdicated all responsible governance and public health pandemic mitigation. twitter.com/yaneerbaryam/s…

Yaneer Bar-Yam @yaneerbaryam@forall.social @yaneerbaryam

UK prime minister Boris Johnson this week has been reported to say it’s OK if 1000 people die from COVID every week. No action will be taken to prevent it. 1/

16) I know it’s a busy day with two new troubling variants, but in addition to the UK Cornwall music #festivalvariant subtype of Delta, I think the new #C12 variant is worse. It is the MOST MUTATED variant found to date—see below 👇 thread twitter.com/drericding/sta…

Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing

🦠NEW VARIANT—a new #SARSCoV2 variant C.1.2 just identified in South Africa & several countries, with concerns it could be more infectious and evade vaccines. #C12 also has mutation rate that is nearly **twice as fast** as the rate of the other variants.🧵 jpost.com/health-science… pic.twitter.com/a432jYiexE

17) Even the #DeltaVariant appears to continually acquire new mutations. There are now a dozen or more Delta subtypes. But the newest one from Cornwall’s music festival appears to be one of the largest new subtype pockets. pic.twitter.com/K9ic81IFNp
