There is some preliminary evidence suggesting the omicron variant is more infectious than the delta variant. But there is no evidence so far that the standard prevention strategies, including vaccination, masking, distancing, ventilation and hand-washing are not effective in reducing the risk of infection or transmission. Detectable on Covid tests? The commercial diagnostic PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and antigen COVID tests appear to work to identify the omicron variant. Drugs work on Omicron? An antiviral drugs work by limiting a virus’ ability to make copies of itself in the body. Remdesivir is the only such antiviral drug currently authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat COVID-19. How it spreads?

Strains are often seen as inherently artificial concepts, characterized by a specific intent for genetic isolation. Human Coronavirus Types: Scientists have divided coronaviruses into four sub-groupings, called alpha , beta , gamma , and delta . Seven of these viruses can infect people: 229E (alpha) NL63 (alpha) OC43 (beta) HKU1 (beta) MERS-CoV, a beta virus that causes Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) SARS-CoV, a beta virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) SARS-CoV-2, which cau

The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020: This Bill allows the farmers to sell their produce outside the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) regulated markets. The APMCs are government-controlled marketing yards or mandis. So, the farmers clearly have more choice on who they want to sell. The government's logic, economic expert Gurcharan Das writes in TOI, is that the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) is an obsolete institution from an age of scarcity, meant to protect the farmer but has now become his oppressor, a monopoly cartel fixing low prices for the farmers' produce, forcing distress sales. The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and   Farm Services Bill, 2020: This Bill makes provisions for the setting up of a framework for contract farming. The farmer and an ordained buyer can strike a deal before the production happens. The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill 2020:  The Farm
