It's pretty serious again, theCOVID-19 [FeminineSpread, warn experts from viruses. Why? The Delta variant is more communicable and threatening all. Michael Osterholm, head of the University of Minnesota Infectious Disease Center, spoke to CNN on how to stay safe and what is the worst future. Read on five points that can save your life and the lives of children - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss these Sure sign that you have "Long" Covid and may even know.

"If you look at what happened in the United States, these cases continue to climb higher and higher. And we have health systems in the United States, especially in the United States, which are literally overloaded, "warned Osterholm. "They can not take more patients. And so it's the major challenge. If you want to put this in perspective last week, if Louisiana and Florida, two states in the United States were actually independent countries, They would have had the number one and number two of the Covid infections in the world. "

Why the current overvoltage? "The Delta is the clear reason in the United States. We enjoy an increased vaccination rate compared to many countries in the world, not as high as in the United Kingdom or in Israel, but you can still see the damage that This is substantial. Even with children, we see our pediatric hospitals in the southerly Sun-Sunbelt states, literally exceeded with cases of COVIDs, including intensive care, "so, that. was the challenge. And the big question is what will happen during the next four to eight weeks. Let us see that other states in the United States become hot spots as we see in the southern sun states or will actually have increases, but not as high as the states of the sunglasses. And we can not answer that. I can just tell you that there are 90 million Americans right now that could be vaccinated, who have not had a vaccine at all. It's a lot of people for this virus to attack yet. And it will be. "

And these people are still probably very vulnerable. "

"It's true," we can see other variants. "We will continue to see variants as the reality of microbial evolution, that every time this virus breeds, somewhere in the world, it potentially undergo changes that would lead to a different virus in terms of more serious illness? This more communicable or can it escape the immune protection of the vaccine or natural infection? You know, the Delta is a bad delta bug. It is surely highly transmissible. If we will be more transmissible, it will have to be Delta. What is a frightening proposal in terms of determining immune escape or the ability of the virus to be, uh, we protect from this virus by vaccine or natural infection is always, I can not say hypothetical . It is surely could happen. But at this point, we have not seen the proof of that. I think these vaccines usually work pretty well. "
