As a result, cases, hospitalizations and deaths increase.

"We are literally sitting on the limit of what could be a major crisis," osterholm said. "Let me emphasize that we follow about three weeks of what is happening in England. Today, they reported nearly 49,000 cases. If the same number has arrived here for the size of our population, it would be 200 000 cases today. I do not know that people understand what the potential is before us. Where this variant delta took off, she was really withdrawn, and it seemed to do it in the country now. "

Ostertholm wrote a paper with other expertsNew England Journal of Medicine"More than two months ago, he encourages the challenges of holding the Olympic Games in Japan," he said, "knowing that this very moment from where the delta variant would take off in Japan Knowing that this happened and people will come with the virus, as well as the fact that the volunteers who worked at the Olympic Games would be interfacing with these athletes. "He tried to work with the" Olympic Committee, with the Japanese government to help them improve their ability to attempt to prevent transmission. But I think it's going to be a challenge. I hope we can pass through the Olympic Games without major event, but I think at this stage the whole world testifies to this rapid emergence of Delta. And I think it will be a real challenge. "

They will do everything they can to prevent people from being vaccinated. And we just have to get the message. Remember that it is not at the end of an ideological question. All this concerns biology. This is - the virus will find you if you are not vaccinated or protected from the previous infection. And what we are trying to do is keep everyone in this country to be infected. "

"As for the locks, I think that, like a society, we will not go out there, which really concerns me what, what can we do? It's really about getting vaccines In people. It's probably the main thing., "Osterholm says. He accepted withDr. Vivak Murthy, which issued a warning against viral misinformation, which spreads on social media and in the media. "I agree 100% with the general surgeon. The misinformation campaigns, misinformation have made them vaccinate these" stronger people, "osterholm said.
