Dr. Luis Camera, advisor to Argentine President Alberto Fernández, in an interview with Universo 970 AM and the GEN channel, spoke about the incidence of the Delta variant in Argentina. He pointed out that in general throughout South America the second wave is going down, which was very hard with the Manaus virus and the Andean virus that have left many orphans. “I have a theory, it is that the Manaus virus and the Andean virus have not allowed the Delta variant to enter easily. It’s like a predator competition, ”said Dr. Luis Camera.
He stated that we are in a difficult and slow vaccination process, and that the only antidote for this highly contagious virus is to have a good number of people vaccinated. Camera said that it will not be harmful like the previous ones, but with the Delta virus there must be many people vaccinated. “With the Delta virus, the largest amount of the population should be vaccinated, infections can also occur in people with a single dose, of course much milder and without so much mortality,” he added.
The advisor to the Argentine president estimates that the third wave would arrive in approximately a month, since there are several cases, but they have not yet exploded. Regarding component two of Sputnik, Camera said that the strategy is to complete the scheme either with other platforms or with the same one due to the fear of the entry of the Delta variant. The Delta virus is the beginning of the end of the pandemic and the beginning of the endemic, this virus is not so terrifying, but it will infect us all, said the professional.

The crude aspect of the pandemic refers to the number of daily deaths, which despite having decreased, resists falling below the two-dozen line, indeed, yesterday they reported a slight increase with the 22 deaths registered.
