07.03 Two new studies endorse that the Coronavirus is evolving to spread more efficiently by air.

The newest variants of Coronavirus such as Alfa and Delta are highly contagious and infect many more people than the original virus.Two new studies offer a possible explanation: Coronavirus is evolving to spread more efficiently by air.

The finding that the coronavirus is transmitted through the air inside transformed the efforts to contain the pandemic last year, lighting heated debates about the masks, social distancing and ventilation in public spaces. Most researchers are nowAgreement that the coronavirus is mainly transmitted through aerosols that can float at longer distances inside and settle directly on the lungs, where the virus is more harmful

The new studies do not fundamentally change that point of view.But the findings point out that the coronavirus is changing in ways that make it more efficient and, therefore, fearsome.

"This is not a Armageddon scenario," said Vincent Munster, a virologist at the National Institute of Eeuu infectious allergies and diseases and director of the new studies."It is like a modification of the virus for a more efficient transmission, which is something that I think we all expected, and now we see it happening in real time."

Dr. Munster's team showed that small aerosols moved much longer distances than the largest drops and that the alpha variant was much more likely to cause new aerosols transmission infections.The second study found that people infected with Alfa exhaled about 43 times more viruses in tiny aerosols than those infected with older variants.

Studies compared the alpha variant with the original virus or other older variants.But the results can also explain why the Delta variant is so contagious and why it displaced all other versions of the Coronavirus."It really indicates that the virus is evolving to become more efficient in the transmission through air," said Linsey Marr, a virus expert transmitted by air in Virginia Tech that did not participate in any of the studies."I wouldn't be surprised if, with Delta, that factor was even greater."

The ultratransmissibility of the variants may be due to a combination of factors.It may be that lower doses of the variants for infection are required, or that the variants replicate faster, or exhale more of the variant virus in aerosols, or the three.

The alpha variant has turned out to be twice more transmissible than the original virus, and the Delta variant has mutations that further accelerated its infection.As the virus continues to change, the newest variants can be even more transmissible, according to experts.Two new studies endorse that the coronavirus is evolving to spread more efficiently through the air
