America can be made with coronavirus but thecoronavirus is not done with America. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of Disease Control and Prevention Centers (CDC), has just predicted that the new Delta variant would become the predominant in the United States. This is a disturbing new: the variant, the first identified in India, is more communicable than other forms of viruses and more dangerous in some ways. That is why Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist, the regents professor and director of the Infectious Disease Research Center at the University of Minnesota, continued by CNN to sound an alarm. Read about the 5 things you need to know to stay safe - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss these Sure sign that you have "Long" Covid and may even know.

Of the propagation of the variant of Delta, Osterholm agrees with Walensky, telling CNN: "This has significant significant consequences for increased transmission in our communities. We have been able to show that this virus is 50 to 60 % more infectious than the B117 or alpha variant - the one who worries us before, which was much more infectious than the previous strains. So, this one is really the king of the battery in terms of transmission problems. "Continue reading To see what makes it really dangerous for you.

"In addition, there is another component that is very concerned," said Osterholm CNN. "It has the ability to avoid part of the immune protection of one or the othervaccines Or previous infections If you had only a dose, mRNA, Pfizer and Modern vaccines, the vaccine only works by about 30% of the time to prevent you from getting sick. It is compared to 70 to 80% with a dose, with other strains, you need both to be completely vaccinated, then you can get better protection. So it's even more a reason we want everyone to have vaccinated. "

"The data surely show that vaccines protect against this variant if you have both doses," said Osterholm. "But remember that we continue to put in place 70% or 55% numbers, regardless of" -He referred to the number of people's reports that the statements are vaccinated: "This is the first dose Unique. So it's really important that we really get people vaccinated with both doses as soon as possible. "

Osterholm warned of variants before and a tear in the United Kingdom and then found themselves in the United States and we saw it on Michigan and Minnesota, but it did not burst out other states. And we do not have an explanation for that, why it has become the dominant variant, but we have not seen the great increase of cases. I obviously had a caution note here with regard to the delta variant, this new that we speak - maybe the same thing will happen, but maybe it will not be. And we must be in our company prepared for "perhaps it will happen" as it did in England.

"In high-income countries like the United States that had the type of vaccination programs in place, we are not going to see great national surgeies, not as we did last January, but we have not been Have not done with this virus at all, "he told CNN." We have more hundred counties from this country that had less than 20% of their vaccinated population. We have states where we are well below 40%, even a single dose of vaccine in people. So we have a lot of susceptible people who have not been vaccinated yet - that is, should this alternative delta take over, we will see substantial local and regional surges. We already see this in Missouri. We see that in other southern states where we start to see this emerging thrust in a given county. This is all the more a reason why we have to know that we have not done with the virus yet. "So do you vaccinate when it becomes at your disposal and protect your life and the lives of others, do not visit any of these35 places you are most likely to catch Covid.
