The delta variant is more aggressive and much more transmitted than the traffic forces previously. "
The Head of CDC said three words that each American should hear
The Delta variant "is one of the most infectious respiratory viruses we know and I've seen in my 20-year career," Walensky said. "We recognize that some of you still think if you will getvaccinated. Maybe you see that your local officials are publicly moving for you to be vaccinated, or maybe you are watching local information that your community hospitals are full. Maybe Covid-19 disease tragically you or your community closer to home. If you are always on the fence, if you always have questions about vaccines, we welcome them. My request to you is it,ask your questionsTalk to your health care provider, talk to your pharmacist, talk to your friends and neighbors who have passed vaccinated and get your questions answered so that you feel comfortable and aware of taking this critical decision. And please continue to do the things we know worked to protect you and his family until you are completely vaccinated. "
The head of the CDC warned Covid has "no incentive to let go"
"If you are not vaccinated, please seriously take the Delta variant," Walensky asked. "This virus has no incentive to let go and it remains in search of the next vulnerable person. In fact, consider being vaccinated and taking precautions until you do it. And if you've ever had A COVID infection, CDC's advice strongly recommend that you are vaccinated. It gives you lasting and more robust protection with the width and depth of the coverage needed to conquer variants currently circulating in this country.

The head of the CDC had this to say to people who have already been vaccinated, who are afraid
"So those of you who have already got the vaccine - I know you look at the climb of cases and that you have questions about what it means for you," said Walensky. "I know you are probably worried about two things, that you will always get COVID despite the vaccinated being and what activities are safe. Let's start with the first concern. Being entirely vaccinated gives you a high degree of protection against infection and more Another degree of protection against serious illness, hospitalization and death. This is what these vaccines have been designed for and what the clinical trials studied. And vaccines are generally doing their job very well. These vaccines are some of the more effective than we have in the modern medicine. And the good news is that the current scientific evidence shows that our current vaccines work as when they have done it in clinical trials, even against the variant of Delta, especially, our data have shown that infections are much less frequent in vaccinated people compared to people vaccinated and most evacuated. DISEASE AND INDIVIDUALS VAC Cinés are asymptomatic or light. "
Here's when you are the most in danger, says CDC Chef
"There are places in this country where cases are high and cases caused by the Delta variant are also very high," Walensky said. "And many of these areas have low vaccine coverage. In areas where high immunization coverage and low disease transmission rates, the chances of you come into close contact with an infectious person is relatively low in contrast to areas in areas Low vaccine coverage and high transmission. There is a much larger chance to come in close contact with one or more infectious people. "
The head of the CDC said here to wear a mask
"As we have said, consistently, the greatest risk is currently unvaccinated and we have said consistently and repeatedly, if you are not evacuated, you have to wear a mask to protect you and protect yourself from you. And we need more people getting vaccinated to stop this pandemic. So overall, the recommendations of the CDC have not changed completely vaccinated. People are protected from serious illness and we have always said that communities and individuals must make the decisions that suit them for their decisions. What happens in their local spaces. So, if you are in an area that has a high work rate and a low vaccination rate , or a delta case increases, you will definitely wear a mask if you are not vaccinated. If you are vacant, you get exceptional vaccine protection, but you must have the opportunity to do the personal choice to add additional protective layers. "
The Head of CDC said: "We are not yet out of the wood"
"Please know, we are not yet out of the wood, and you will want to make thoughtful decisions to protect your health and health of your family and your community," Walensky said. "We are still at another moment pivoting from this pandemic with cases again, and some hospitals reaching their capacity. In some areas, we must meet as a unified nation in our determination to protect the health of ourselves, our children, our community, our country and our future with the tools we have available with that. "So be vaccinated as soon as possible; if you live in an area with low vaccination rates, wear afacial maskwhich adapts perfectly and is double layered, do not travel, the social distance, avoid the big crowds, do not go inside with people you do not fit with (especially in the bars), practice a good hygiene of hands and protect your life and protect your life the lives of others, do not visit any of these35 places you are most likely to catch Covid.
