Despite the welcome acceleration ofCOVID-19 vaccinationsThe Americans could face the worst weeks of the pandemic, warns the epidemiologist Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center at the University of Minnesota for research and infectious policy of the disease. After several weeks of steep drops, a tray, the number of new daily cases started to check the last days, at the same time as new variants of thevirus spread quickly. This is why Osterholm is so worried and how you can keep safe. Read it and to ensure your health, remember:Doctors say "Do not" do this after your Covid vaccine.

"We get more people vaccinated, which is a very good thing," osterholm said atVirtual Axios Event "Covid-19 tests in a post-vaccine world"Wednesday." However, when you look at the current number of unvaccinated people, we have, for example, another 18 million people aged 65 and older who are not vaccinated. We see in young age populations, once again, a limited number of people vaccinated. "In Europe, which is currently experiencing an important case, the children played a role in the propagation of CVIV-19 to older adults, he said.

"Our only hope at the moment is that we as a country take this seriously and that we do everything we can limit transmission," osterholm said. "And yet, at the same time, I sit here and I tell you that we have never been more open as a country since the first days of the pandemic."

"There are reasons to be optimistic about future vaccines," Osterholm said. "The problem is that we are not going to have a lot of vaccine with a materially impact on a major transmission in this country" until spring and early summer. So, what we have to do is pass through the next six to 12 weeks. "He added," We do not seem to worry about the meaning we open everything at the local, state and even federal levels. "

"We seem to be forgotten to test a little, with the advent of vaccines," osterholm said. "You mean less when in fact, it's just as important as it has been as important as ever."He added: "In many places, people who perform tests are currently immunization, which is important, but that does not mean that we should not have any tests. The second thing is the public a, in a meaning, has passed beyond trying. " With the less concentrated Americans on COVID tests, the virus has more opportunity to spread asymptomatically.

"Remember that we have billions of people in low-income countries, some in middle-income countries, who will never have access to vaccines," said Osterholm. "We will also see variants turn. And we will therefore constantly be in a battle with this virus, relative to the problem of the variant."
