When it comes tocoronavirus, things go with worse. Doctors ask us to think of the alternative delta as a brand new virus, a little more dangerous than the first. How can you stay safe? Dr. Ashish Jha, Dean of the Public Health School of Brown University appeared on the "COVID: What's next"Podcast, available fromThe newspaper of Providence and theUnited States today Network, to discuss exactly this, and has published rather terrifying warnings - and some convincing solutions. Read 6 points that can help you stay safe and put an end to the pandemic - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseSure sign that you have "Long" Covid and may even know.

"This infection, this virus, this variant will spare anyone," warned JHA. "And if you are not vaccinated, you will surely meet with this near and personal virus. And we all go, but for those of us who arevaccinated, we will meet him as a vaccinious person and we will probably not be infected. And if we do it, we will not fall sick, but if you encounter it as a non-vaccinated person, you will have a very great probability of being infected. So, I am very worried that many people will be infected in the months to come. And I'm talking about a lot of modeling suggests that 35 million Americans can be infected over the next two months, as a large astronomical number, and most of them will be non-vaccinated. And many of them are a bit to finish being sick enough. "

"We have an incredibly contagious variant, the alternative delta, now spreads throughout the nation," said Dr. Jha. "The numbers of infection increase roughly to each state of the country, but in states that have small immunization figures and not many public health restrictions, these figures explode. And we see that in Louisiana and the Missouri and Arkansas, but we also see it in a couple of great states. Texas figures are up quickly. Florida is just in terrible form, more infections and hospitalizations right now than they do had at any time in the pandemic. And what is tragic about it has something it can stop, no? These are the vaccines. "

"When it happened a year ago, we thought, boy, it's really painful," Jha said. "And we need to put in all these information measures to stop this. We no longer need to put painful measures. Now it's, if we had enough people vaccinated. If we do not vacciate, we will have to Perhaps use some painful metrics in the short time. But I want to another point of other. It is also a contagious variant that even highly vaccinated states like Massachusetts and Rhode Island are not immunized. We Need more people vaccinated, even in these places, even in these places, if we are really going to use vaccines as a strategy to stop the spread of this virus. "

"There are two series of problems", "When it comes to children," he says. "First of all, as you know, we had a whole year to minimize the infection, saying that it does not matter. The children are not fortunately sick, but some of them do. And we want to pay attention to children. The big question that people ask me right now are the variant of Delta particularly bad for children, who do more sick with the delta variant than with the alpha or the version of last year? The short answer is, I do not know, I do not know, as we do not know honestly. "It explains the growing hospitalization of young people as due to" a lot of places have very important numbers of infection. And so if you have a massive thrust, children are not immunized, they will be infected. And most of them go well, but a small number will eventually become sick and hospitalized and in the ICU. And is it worse that if we had seen similar infections with alpha or other variants? I do not know. "

"If a question is a question, can vaccinate people to spread the virus? The answer is yes, they can," said Jha. "We have seen it. But all the cases I'm aware of happening while the vaccinious person was symptomatic. What does that mean? That means they touched, had fever when they were spreading. And it's important because if you have a fever and a cough, you can isolate yourself. The big question is whether you are vaccinated and you feel good, you are totally good. Can You are infected and spreading? We simply do not know. "
