First off, the new covid strand is much more contagious than the original – which means it’ll spread faster and more widely. This should mean that we should see quicker and more widespread vaccine distribution, which is crucial to getting the situation under control. We already know that many countries are suffering from vaccine shortages, and a more contagious strain could help to even out the production and distribution of important vaccines.
Secondly, the new strand could help identify more people who are carrying Covid-19 symptoms. Increased identification would not only provide individuals with the opportunity to access time-sensitive treatments and screenings, but also allow for more accurate contact tracing. This could mean reduced transmission rates and potentially fewer severe cases.
Finally, the new covid strand may also bring a pandemic-fueled economic boost. This is because, as the vaccine becomes available in more places, people may be willing to return to activities that they have avoided in the past because of their fear of contracting the virus. Increased activity, in turn, could lead to an economic uptick and more widespread job opportunities.
It’s clear that while the new covid strand certainly does present its own set of challenges, it does also have some positive benefits. Hopefully, this will be the turning point we need to finally get the pandemic under control.
