Coronavirus Delta variant. Europe map red

The map of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (an agency of the European Union) shows color coded regions, with red indicating an elevated alert state and dark red indicating an alert state. ECDC reports that the upward trend in the number of infections is already observed in 20 countries, and only in the last week there was an over 64% increase in the number of reported coronavirus cases in this area (the data is counted without the United Kingdom, which recently counts over 40 . illnesses per day). The color of a given region depends on the number of infections per 100. people and the percentage of positive tests.

Delta attacks the young

The number of infections increases dramatically in the 18-24 age group, which is the group with the highest percentage of unvaccinated people. The data say that over 60% have not yet taken the first dose of the vaccine. EU residents aged 18-24. For comparison, in the 60+ age group, there are about 15-20 percent of such people.

1. WHO: Delta present in over 100 countries. How do I stop him? There is one way

Dangerous is the fact that the coronavirus is mutating and becoming more and more contagious.

Spain is sick with the Delta variant

Data from July 14 show that the Iberian Peninsula is red and the north of the country is painted dark red. The Netherlands, Luxembourg and the “Copenhagen” parts of Denmark are also at risk, as is Bornholm. The Delta variant is also crazy in the south of Greece (near Athens and Crete). The state of emergency is also elevated in the south of France, in Belgium and in the coastal strip of Croatia.

Vaccinations less effective for the Delta variant

Israel’s experience also shows that vaccines are less effective against the Delta variant, but help with milder or even asymptomatic COVID-19 disease.

– Anyone who hoped that vaccines would solve the problem on their own – not solve the problem – said the head of the Israeli government, Naftali Bennett recently. He added that cases of the Delta variant coronavirus are rapidly increasing worldwide, including in countries with high rates of vaccination against COVID-19, such as the United Kingdom, Israel and the United States.

In Poland, according to the spokesman of the Ministry of Health, Wojciech Andrusiewicz, over 50 thousand. people have not come forward since the beginning of June for a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, some people “seem to deny their awareness that we have an epidemic,” says the official. He also stated that the Delta variant is already 1/3 of all infections currently occurring in Poland.

The virus learns

The virus keeps mutating. Delta Plus was first identified in India and the World Health Organization (WHO) defined it as a set of two worst variants – Indian and South African. The Beta version (South African mutation) did an excellent job of overcoming human immunity, but was not as contagious. Delta Plus has taken a high rate of infectivity from Delta and hence new, disturbing data. The virus can now spread more easily and more forcefully than other coronavirus mutations, binds to lung cells, replicates faster and damages them, often resulting in death.
