Himedik.com – Virus corona varian Delta is said to be more infectious and immune from the Covid-19 vaccine than other types. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also said: varian Delta can cause severe infections than other variants.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, acknowledged that people who were vaccinated with the breakthrough infection with the Delta variant carried the same amount of virus in the nose and throat as people who had not been vaccinated.
In addition, they can also spread the Delta variant of the corona virus in their bodies more easily. Recent journals have also described inflammation due to the wider Delta variant.
According to journals or documents reported from Times of India, the Delta variant is more infectious than the viruses that cause MERS, SARS, Ebola, seasonal flu, and infectious smallpox such as chicken pox.
The contents in the document reflect concerns among CDC scientists about the spread of the Delta variant coronavirus across the country. A federal official who had read the document hoped there would be additional data on the coronavirus variant in the document to make it public.
“The CDC is extremely concerned about the incoming data regarding the Delta variant as a serious threat and requires immediate action at this time,” the official said.
In the United States alone, there are 71,000 new cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus per day. Recent data shows that people who have been vaccinated can still spread the Delta variant of the coronavirus and contribute to the number of cases, although the odds are lower.
Walensky said transmission of the coronavirus by people who have been vaccinated is a rare event. But other scientists have said that the event may have been more common than previously thought.
Therefore, the CDC recommends people who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 to continue to wear masks indoors and in public spaces to prevent transmission of the Covid-19 corona virus.
However, the document suggests that the CDC’s recommendations may still not be enough to prevent transmission of the coronavirus. This is because higher transmissibility and current coverage of the Covid-19 vaccine are very important.
The agency’s data shows that people with weak immune systems should wear masks, including in places where the transmission of the Covid-19 coronavirus is low.
It should also be understood that infection with the Delta variant results in a 10-fold higher amount of the corona virus in the airways, compared to people infected with the Alpha variant. Moreover, the Delta variant is very contagious compared to other variants.
The number of people infected with the Delta variant is also a thousand times more than the people infected with the original version. According to the CDC, people infected with the Delta variant can carry large amounts of the coronavirus in their nose and throat.
The Delta variant may also be more likely to cause severe disease. Studies from Canada and Scotland found that people infected with the Delta variant were more at risk of being hospitalized and requiring oxygen.
However, experts from the CDC point out that the Covid-19 vaccine is highly effective at preventing severe infections, hospitalizations and deaths from the Delta variant.
“Overall, the Delta variant is the more dangerous strain of the coronavirus. However, the Covid-19 vaccine still provides strong protection,” said Moore, a virologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York.
