The coronavirus variant driving India's devastating COVID-19 second wave is the most infectious to emerge so far. Doctors now want to know if it's also more severe.
Hearing impairment, severe gastric upsets and blood clots leading to gangrene, symptoms not typically seen in COVID-19 patients, have been linked by doctors in India to the so-called delta variant. In England and Scotland, early evidence suggests the strain — which is also now dominant there — carries a higher risk of hospitalization.
Delta, also known as B.1.617.2,
has spread to more than 60 countries over the past six months and triggered travel curbs from Australia to the U.S. A spike in infections, fueled by the delta variant, has forced the U.K. to reconsider its plans for reopening later this month, with a local report saying it may be pushed back by two weeks.

The delta coronavirus variant, formerly known as B.1.617, which was first discovered in India, has been rapidly spreading throughout the world—and some doctors are reporting atypical Covid-19 symptoms linked to the variant, including hearing problems and blood clots leading to gangrene.
Atypical Covid-19 symptoms related to the variant
In India, doctors have reported atypical Covid-19 symptoms in patients infected with the delta variant. According to Ganesh Manudhane, a cardiologist at
Seven Hills Hospital in Mumbai, some patients have developed micro thrombi, or small blood clots, that can be severe enough to lead to tissue death and gangrene.

At midnight on April 17, as a deadly new wave of the coronavirus overwhelmed India, Mumbai’s Municipal Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal learned that six hospitals in his city would run out of oxygen within hours -- putting the lives of 168 patients at risk.
Amid the ensuing scramble, the patients were rushed to the temporary hospitals Chahal’s team had set up during the city’s first wave in 2020. He hadn’t dismantled the facilities even when cases dipped. Unlike most Indian hospitals that relied on cylinders, they had been equipped with pipes that supplied oxygen directly to patients’ beds. All 168 survived.
