Of all the mutations experienced by the coronavirus thus far, it appears that the one that should concern us the most is the Delta variant. And it is that if already from the first moment it gave signs that pointed to its dangerousness, it seems that new studies indicate that its propagation capacity is even greater than was initially supposed, and its effects seem to be more harmful than those of the previous variants. In other words, the Delta variant is, at least for now, the worst of the coronavirus strains.

These data come from the US CDC, have been published by The Washington Post, and are, of course, disturbing, because they show us the concern running through the halls of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention today on account of the Delta variant, to the point that at some point, it is suggested that the scenario is not what it was thought, and that it is necessary to “recognize that the war has changed.”

This information originates from an internal presentation related to the need to intensify communication campaigns to convince the population to take preventive measures against the pandemic. On the one hand, of course, that they get vaccinated as soon as possible, and on the other that they continue to take extreme measures of prevention against the spread of the virus, since there seems to be a considerable consensus regarding the fact that vaccinated people can also become infected with the virus. pathogen and spread it.

Delta variant, scarier than it looked

In this presentation, it is stated that the propagation capacity of the Delta variant is above that showing chickenpox, and although more data is still needed to corroborate this second point, there are also signs that suggest that infection with this variant of the pathogen may result more serious than that caused by the rest of those currently identified.

As a result, the main recommendation to avoid the massive diffusion of the Delta variant is to maintain the measures that we already know well: use of a mask indoors, as well as outdoors when a safe distance cannot be maintained, a strict control of contacts with positives and, of course, continue to use hygiene and disinfection measures, such as thorough hand washing and the use of hydroalcoholic gels to eliminate pathogens that we may have received in any interaction with another person, or with contact with surfaces exposed to the virus.
