U K Variant Isn t Linked To More Severe COVID Infections Or Death: Study | AM 600 WMT

By Bill Galluccio Apr 13, 2021 A new study has found that the U.K. coronavirus variant, known as B.1.1.7, doesn t cause a more severe infection and is not deadlier than the original strain. Scientists are trying to understand more about the new strain, which is more contagious and is now the dominant strain in the United States and Europe. We were able to do this real-time analysis because we were in the eye of the storm, said a lead author of the study,  Dan Frampton, a bioinformatician at University College London. While patients with the variant had a higher viral load than patients with the original strain, they were not likely to have a severe infection, and their risk of death was not increased. The researchers said that patients with B.1.1.7 were more likely to require oxygen but added that is not necessarily a sign of a more severe infection.
