The European scientists and World Health Organization have already warned that this virus has the tendency of spreading 50% to 70% high as compared to the last kind of coronavirus.
Out of every one lac patients of COVID-19, more than 100 are those who are the victim of the new type of virus. In America, there are, so far, only 76 persons who have been recorded as the victims of B.1.1.7 and in Pakistan, there are perhaps only two cases of the victims of this new virus.
Although, this number is quite low as compared to the number of patients who have been affected by the last kind of virus yet is apprehended that this number can go very high.
Although, the ratio of deaths as compared to that of the old type of coronavirus is lesser yet as was mentioned above that the rate at which it is spreading is very high therefore if its speed of spreading is not controlled, the number of death due to B.1.1.7 may likely increase rapidly.
