Happen so quickly. were seeing a difference -- were talking 20% of cases now in the united states accounting for this delta variant. but in the west, its up to 46%. and thats just based on the sequencing thats happening. were not sequencing enough cases to really have a great view of whats happening. so it could be even more. and all we have to do is look to europe to see whats happening. were not that different. and weve seen this same trend before. so its something that we have to get in front...

In the united states, the cdc has given up doing any sequencing for instance in all the patients that have had breakthrough infections after vaccination. on the 15th of this month, reported in lanson from edinbor and that uk, the work of patients who were fully vaccinated, that developed a delta variant, its. >> i want to go to a tweet that really was disturbing. you can follow the whole thread on twitter. and ive seen similar tweets an similar reports have been written about the risks of vaccin...

Than our cdc. what they demonstrated is that the delta variant is more contagious, but its far less deadly and its far less worrisome. its a weaker virus than both the uk and the south african. >> peter, whats unbelievable about this is on the cdcs website, this is a story on friday, there was a big thing about the delta variant is more produces more severe reactions and hospitalizations and deaths. and youre saying that is the same time where this study a every very extensive report cam out in ...

With the uk does in this report is theyve done over a quarter million patients where theyve done detailed sequencing so they know exactly what patients have. in the united states the cdc has given up doing any sequencing in all the patients to add infections after vaccinations so on the fifteenth of this month, reported from edinboro in the uk, the patients who were fully vaccinated the developer delta variant, as lower rates of hospitalization. >> i want to go to a tweet that was really disturb...

All covid cases, whereas in other countries like italy and spain, its only around 2%. because of that shortage of data, what we have to do is analyse the percentage of cases that are sequenced that come back as the delta variant and the alpha variant or any other, and try and forecast what thats been doing over the last couple weeks, when perhaps that data has been unattainable because these countries are doing relatively little sequencing. so, what were doing is looking at the data and the tren...

In france, just across the channel from the uk, the figure is only 7%. theyre braced for that to rise. a senior official at public health france described the delta variant as "a sword of damocles hanging over us". the data ive just shown you is from the financial times data team. john burn—murdoch is a senior data journalist there. how are you tracking how far delta is spreading in the various countries? so, the tricky thing here is that i think weve all got a year and a half to dealing with ...

Well, we got more detail on the governments thinking when health secretary matt hancock said this in may. when we put pakistan on the red list, and indeed, bangladesh, the positivity of those arriving from pakistan and bangladesh was three times higher that from india. thats why we took those decisions. but publicly available government data doesnt back that up. these are the covid infection rates for arrivals in late march and early april. indias above bangladesh and close to pakistan. then, in...

To the date when the sequencing comes back. so, you have to act on the data that you have. his argument there is about sequencing, the process where individual variants are identified. but even without that information, the headline data from india didn�*t need much interpretation. by mid april, even after factoring in population size, india was recording far more new cases a day than bangladesh or pakistan, though the uk government says india�*s higher testing rate was a factor. what the uk...

These are the covid infection rates for arrivals in late march and early april. indias above bangladesh and close to pakistan. then, injune, mr hancock argued that back in april, the government didnt have the full picture. we didnt have that data because there is a long lag from the cases, the data in which the case the data in which the case occurs, to the date when the sequencing comes back. so, you have to act on the data that you have. his argument there is about sequencing, the process wher...
