2 things about Delta varient
1.
IT IS RAPIDLY SPREADING AROUND THE WORLD
The Delta variant was first detected in India in late 2020, where it is thought to have contributed to the extremely high number of cases during the country’s second wave of COVID-19. As of 14 June it had spread to 74 countries worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO’s Director for Europe has warned that Delta is “poised to take hold in the region,” as many countries prepare to ease restrictions and allow more social gatherings and travel across borders. As of 14 June, the Delta variant accounted for 10% of cases in the USA.
2.
Two weeks after receiving a second dose, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine appeared to provide 79% protection against infection with the Delta variant, compared with 92% protection against the Alpha variant, the study found.
IT APPEARS TO BE MORE TRANSMISSIBLE.
One country where the Delta variant has taken hold is the UK. Since the first cases were detected in February, it has rapidly overtaken the so-called Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant that was first detected in Kent, England, and which was itself 43 to 90% more transmissible than pre-existing variants of SARS-CoV-2. Delta currently accounts for more than 91% of UK COVID-19 cases, and is around 40% more transmissible than the Alpha variant, according to UK government estimates. However, other scientists have calculated it may be 30-100% more transmissible than Alpha.
