SAGE, or the Scientific Advisory Group of Emergencies, has warned against the looming dangers of an emerging COVID-19 variant, and it would be deadlier than the Delta Variant. The group has also foreseen that its chances of mutation are highest when cases are at a critical, bringing danger to killing one out of three infected patients.
The Delta Variant is now the most notorious strain of COVID-19 which has been spread out throughout the world, and people are already dying because of its infectious nature.
The most comparable disease to the Delta Variant is the Chickenpox, as it can easily spread from person to person, but the scary thing here is that people may or may not know if they are infected.
SAGE Warns of Future Deadly COVID-19 Mutations
However, nothing is established as of now, in terms of the vaccine's long-term effectiveness, human immunity and herd immunity, and other factors.
It is safe to say that the planet is not yet "out of the woods" with regards to COVID-19 and the plague it brought.
COVID-19 Future Variants; High Chances of Mutation
COVID-19 was said to still have future variants, and it is due to the negligence of humans, as they avoid getting vaccinated and violate social quarantine rules which were imposed since the start. That has led to the cases failing to lower, and even the development of the mutation.
In SAGE's research, mutations may develop during critical or high points in a said case. And since the world is already experiencing a drastic infection on the Delta, it might be that mutations are acting up for another, more deadly virus.
