Is it possible to catch 2 Covid-19 variants simultaneously?

Covid 19 variants have been seen simultaneously in a patient. Scientists from Brazil recently reported that the two were simultaneously infected with two different variants of SARS CoV2, which causes COVID19 variants.

The interaction with host cells and the immune system determines the relative frequency of individual mutations, and these co-existing mutations can affect the course of the disease or the effectiveness of treatment.

Multiple mutations detected in a person may be caused by co-infection of different mutations or mutations in the patient after the initial infection. 

One way to distinguish between these two situations is to compare the cyclic variant sequence in the population with the variant sequence in the patient. It was previously found in the population, indicating co-infection with the two covid 19  variants has been found in both the laboratory and in patients infected with SARS CoV2, indicating that this may lead to the formation of new variants. 

Even if a person is infected with multiple variants, if they replicate in different parts of the body, they will not affect each other. The 90-year-old Belgian died of COVID19 in March and was infected with two variants of the coronavirus at the same time. 

This is believed to be the first such case reported by the Belgian Science Congress and the media on Sunday. The company that organized the conference said in a statement that the case discussed at the European Conference on Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases this year showed that two variants of Covid19 can be detected at the same time.

The company stated that the woman was infected with the alpha and beta types, which were first discovered in the UK and South Africa. Her doctor said she might have infected two different people.

The public quoted the discussion at the July 912 meeting as saying that doctors believed that this was the first case in such records, and although rare, double infection would occur. "Both variants are popular in Belgium," said OLV molecular biologist Ann Vankeergen. This is explained in the notice from Ulster Hospital on the VRT website. "Therefore, this woman is likely to be infected with two variants of the virus from two different people. Unfortunately, we don't know how this infection happened," he said. 

A manager quoted estimates from the European Union’s Disease Prevention Agency to warn that he expects this highly contagious variant of the delta coronavirus to dominate Europe this summer. If not, what is the delay? All three vaccines used in the United States have received emergency approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In April of this year, research showed that Pfizer/BioNTech and Modena's vaccines are very effective for at least six months. In June of this year, Moderna stated that it has asked the FDA to approve the vaccine for use in the 12-17 age group. Most coronavirus vaccines are designed to teach the body to recognize spike proteins or parts of them. 

The location of the additional Delta Plus mutation. "Many of the vaccines developed in our history are actually stronger than the virus itself in generating immunity. There is growing evidence that vaccines can also help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
