COVID-19 is not showing a small sign to leave the world; instead, it is rapidly spreading like wildfire with its new variants. The surge fueled in the US is predicted to peak by October, and studies indicate a quadruple increase in death rates.
The rays of hope are diminishing with the new inflation in the number of covid cases. The US was on the verge of returning to its everyday maskless lives. With students returning to their classrooms, employees to their workplace, everyone wished to return to their regular days.
The Delta variant, which might cause severe health defects, can be the deadliest version of Coronavirus so far. Medical reports say that the variant may spread rapidly if the population is not vaccinated effectively. About 70% of the people in the US got vaccinated, but the scenario may worsen if delta variant blows with its real potential leading to daily deaths to 800 and above.
Experts report that almost 85% of new cases are from infectious delta variants. The situation may worsen in pockets of the country where the communities are not yet vaccinated. Authorities are to increase the number of beds ICU and ventilator facilities in such areas as a precaution to protect people from this threat. The new cases rose to 145% within five days, and hospitalizations tremendously went up to 25% within a week.
