Many people think this is because of the blockade and vaccines, but a recent study on COVID-19 shocked researchers all over the world. The relief of the epidemic may be due to the self-destruction of Delta mutant!
Will COVID-19 destroy itself?
Why does this Japanese research institute say that COVID-19 will disappear by itself? The main reason is that the enzyme "nsp 14" that repairs the Delta mutation has changed, which leads to the virus's failure to repair itself. Simply put, it was irreparable and finally died.
According to relevant media reports, the research team of Japanese National Institute of Genetics and Niigata University concluded on 10/0/30 that the cooling of The 5th Wave epidemic may be due to the change of the enzyme "nsp 14" responsible for repairing Delta genome mutation, resulting in virus inactivation.
This study pointed out that the virus will copy the genome when it spreads, but it will occasionally mutate. If there are too many mutations, the virus will not reproduce, but if nsp 14 repairs the genome in time, the situation that it cannot reproduce can be prevented. At the same time, the study also pointed out that the third wave of epidemic from autumn 2020 to March 20021year also had a similar trend.
This study was published at the Japanese Society of Human Genetics in June+10, 5438.
Not only a research team in Japan found this situation, but also a related research team in Yale University found that "nsp 14" has the activity of exoribonuclease (exon) and N7- methyltransferase (N7-MTase), which is an essential element for virus replication.
COVID-19 can shut down the host protein synthesis through "nsp 14", but if the active site of RNA nucleic acid exonuclease or N7 methyltransferase is mutated, "nsp 14" will lose the ability to shut down the host to synthesize protein.
Is self-destruction true?
From the above research, we can still see that COVID-19's self-extinction is real, but it will not be a collective self-extinction. Therefore, the author believes that the fifth wave of epidemic relief mentioned by the Japanese is due to the suicide of the virus, not the main reason. Individual self-extinction should exist, but global self-extinction is a bit far-fetched.
Delta strain has now become a worldwide heart disease. It was first discovered in India. The virus began to spread gradually after mutation, and the mutation was strengthened during the spread. Finally, a Delta strain with strong spreading power was formed and then spread all over the world. What does this mean? It's a Delta strain all over the world, not a global virus mutated into a Delta strain.
According to this research in Japan, the virus must mutate to self-destruct, but if its mutation is not the direction of self-destruction, it will not die.
Therefore, this Japanese study is an isolated case at most, and it needs a lot of research to prove its situational or N times later, thus confirming that COVID-19's mutation will choose the direction of self-destruction.
Professionals said that this research and fashion trend in Japan is completely in line with the theory of evolution and supported by preliminary scientific evidence, which deserves the attention of global researchers.
Finally, I hope we can beat COVID-19 and return to normal life as soon as possible!
