Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 Hydra with many heads (variants) has been causing the COVID- 19 pandemic for 3 years. The appearance of every new head (SARS-CoV-2 variant) causes …
Omicron BA. 2.75 may become the next globally dominant strain of COVID-19 in 2022. The BA. 2.75 sub-variant has acquired more mutations (9) in spike protein and other genes of …
