That's exactly when the overvoltage of the Delta variant will be peak, expert says
Computer models show that things are worse before going better.
After a winter that saw the worst Covid-19 cases recorded, many hoped that the hottest months hooked at the end of the pandemic as vaccines were deployed to the public. Instead, the summer saw a very contagious mutation strain of the virus spread quickly and large enough for new infections toBack to the heights Not seen for months in most regions. And with cases that continue to follow the upward trend, an expert affirms that he will always be a little before theThe overvoltage of the Delta variant reaches its peak,The Washington Post reports.

According toJeffrey Shaman, PhD, a Columbia University epidemiologist, a recent model developed by his team of researchers predicted that the current overvoltage of new cases powered by the Delta variant will probably culminate in four to five weeks. The forecast suggests that this would bring the United States to "just over a million cases for all week", which would be on average to more than 140,000 new cases every day at its height.
Shaman says that the relaxation of public health protocols such as mask wear and social distancing helps to fuel overvoltage. "The central problem is that people want to put the pandemic and the virus behind them," he saysThe post office, citing examples of large crowds present in baseball games or bars without facial masks.
Other models alluded to similar timelines with even worse results. The forecasts of a team from the University of the University of Washington Health and Evaluation Institute predicted that cases would continue to increase in mid-August before stabilizing about 300,000 new cases a day. The same model also found that ifFacial masks were suddenly to become universally adopted, the same number of cases would be a tenth that which is currently predicted.

The forecasts come that the vaccination rate in the United States has also seen overvoltage over the weekend. Savoura Saturday816,203 doses administered nationallyWith regard to the fifth day in a row up to 700,000 doses, according to data from disease control and prevention centers (CDC).
"It can be a failover for those who have been hesitant to say," OK, it's time ""Francis Collins, MD, Director of National Institutes of Health, said during an interview with CNN on 1 August. "I hope that's what happens. That's what desperately needs to happen if we're going to get this delta variant in his place."
An internal CDC report obtained first byThe post office Declares the concerns of the agency on the delta variant and the current overvoltage. The document indicates that the strain is more contagious than the seas, SARS, Ebola, the common cold, seasonal flu and smallpox, which makes it aboutas contagious as chickenpox.

It is believed that the information influenced the Agency's decision on July 27 to make its recommendation that the entirely vaccinated people no longer need towear a face-covering during the interior in public spaces. "Given the higher transmissibility and the current vaccine coverage, universal masking is essential for reducing the transmission of the Delta variant," the report suggested.
