The Mu variant was detected in all states of the United States except Nebraska

The Mu variant of COVID-19, which scientists fear may be more transmissible than Delta, has now been detected in all U.S. states except Nebraska.

Florida and California have reported 384 varying cases, the highest figure among the 49 infected U.S. states.

Los Angeles County reported about half of California’s cases with 167.

The new cases, however, reflect only 0.2 percent of the total samples of California state variants between June and August.

The Mu variant has been detected in 49 states in the United States, except in Nebraska, with Florida and California with the highest number of viruses with 384 cases.

Dr. Anthony Fauci responded to the Mu variant by stating that it would not be the next dominant strain, although the variant may become more transmissible and resistant to the vaccine.

Previously, Alaska had the highest number of cases of Mu variants, with 146. This accounted for four percent of all cases recorded in the isolated state.

Other U.S. states have also shared their Mu numbers, with 42 in Maine, 73 in Connecticut and 39 in Hawaii, according to Newsweek.

The Mu variant, which was identified in Colombia in January, has spread to 41 different countries, including the United States, and it is also feared it may be resistant to vaccines.

The variant was of interest because of its potential to be more transmissible and resistant to vaccines, as discovered by the World Health Organization on 30 August.

However, the CDC has not shared this analysis.

Los Angeles County Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer said in a statement: “The identification of variants such as Mu and the spread of variants around the world highlights the need for Los Angeles County residents to continue. taking steps to protect themselves and others.

“This is what makes vaccination and layer protection so important. These are actions that break the transmission chain and limit the proliferation of COVID-19 that allows the virus to mutate into something that could be more dangerous.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci also commented on the Mu variant stating that it would not be the next dominant COVID strain.

“While it has essentially not been taken to any extent, we always pay attention to variants at all times,” he said.

“At this time we do not consider it an immediate threat.”

What is the “Mu” or B.1.621 variant?

Where have the cases been detected?

This mutant strain was first detected in Colombia in January.

It has since spread to more than 40 countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Japan and Canada.

Is it increasing in prevalence?

So far 4,000 cases have been detected, but it is believed to be an underestimation because many countries that have suffered outbreaks do very little monitoring of variants.

The number of cases attributed to the variant declined globally last month, amid the spread of the Delta strain.

In Colombia, where it was first detected, it is still behind six out of ten infections.

Can the strain dodge the vaccine triggering immunity?

The variant carries the E484K mutation, which can help escape antibodies.

This change is also found in the South African variant “Beta” and the Brazilian variant “Gamma”.

A PHE study previously suggested that it could make vaccines less effective. But UK health chiefs said more research was needed.

Fauci has described the variant as “a constellation of mutations that suggest it would evade certain antibodies, not just monoclonal antibodies, but the vaccine and antibodies induced by convalescent serum.”

The peak of Mu variant cases was present in mid-July and has since been declining.

However, the fear is that the variant will be reinforced again in the future.

The nation has eclipsed an average of 1,500 deaths per day by COVID-19, the first time the mark has been reached in six months since vaccination began.

Figures from Johns Hopkins University released early Tuesday showed that the U.S. has reported 40,018,318 cases of COVID since the pandemic began, and that 647,072 people are known to have lost their lives as a result.

However, when the figure reached 1,500 in March, vaccines were not as available as they are now.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also reports that deaths rose 131 percent in August compared to previous months.

COVID-19 cases are also 300% higher this year compared to last weekend’s workday weekend, before vaccines were available.

Hospitalizations across the country have also increased, and August has doubled the number of COVID-19 patients admitted than in June.

The increase in deaths corresponds to an increase in hospitalizations.

More than 102,000 Americans are hospitalized with the virus and 75 percent of hospital beds nationwide are currently in use.

Across the country, the U.S. has reported more than 40 million cases of COVID-19 and 648,000 deaths from the virus, most from any nation in the world in both categories.
