Whether SARS-CoV-2 May Become Lethal Again? By Reference to the 1918 Influenza Virus

2023-08-31

Abstract excerpt

Omicron variants have higher infectivity, more immune escape but lower risk of severe clinical outcomes than the ancestral variants. However, people are still wondering whether SARS-CoV-2 may become lethal again or whether some highly-pathogenic strain may emerge in the future. Omicron is more selective proliferation in the upper respiratory tract (URT). The temperature of human URT is 33–34°C, and the v...
