where this is going. i think it's still pretty early, though. >> okay, well, consider yourself booked because i'd love to know where you think this is going. with regard to what the w.h.o. was saying about, this preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection exists with this variant. so, doctor, would a natural variant evolve like this, or is this a sign of gain of function mutation? >> well, remember how well these variants arise. remember, the alpha variant, what we used to call the b.1.1.7 variant arose out of an unvaccinated population in southern england at the end of 2020. the delta variant arose out of an unvaccinated population in india in 2021. and this omicron variant is arising out of an unvaccinated population and out of south africa. so, all of these variants means that we're paying the price for not showing better global leadership and vaccinating the

43% last month. in this region. and we know that that is where this is coming from. we know also that over 99% of new cases— of new cases are in those who are unvaccinated, over 98% of hospitalisations and again over 99% of deaths so this tells us that the delta variant is incredibly more transmissible, 50% more than the b117 variant, but also that vaccines work. the 3117 variant, but also that vaccines work.— the 3117 variant, but also that vaccines work. and in terms of the peeple _ vaccines work. and in terms of the people that _ vaccines work. and in terms of the people that are _ vaccines work. and in terms of the people that are ending - vaccines work. and in terms of the people that are ending up| the people that are ending up in hospital, we are seeing younger people taking up hospital spaces when perhaps with the other variants, we did not see younger people getting as sick. is this purely because they are unvaccinated or are there other reasons? t they are unvaccinated or are there other reasons?- they are unvaccinated or are there other reasons? i think it does reflect — there other reasons? i think it does reflect these _ there other reasons? i think it does reflect these two - there other reasons? i think it does reflect these two things. j does reflect these two things. number one, obviously the

we have seen what happened in india, right? the new variant leads to double the number of hospitalizations. so let's look at this now with the co-director of the center for vaccine development at texas children's hospital and the dean of the national school of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicine, dr. peter hotez. dr. hotez, it is great to see you this morning. it's been a while. i love chatting with you and getting your perspective on this because we're concerned. we're looking at this delta variant. the trend is not great. how worried are you about it? >> yeah. brianna, i'm extremely worried because the delta variant is so aggressive in terms of transmission. if we remember when we first talked about the uk variant the b.1.1.7 variant across the british isles that started out of southeast england, we were horrified about how aggressive it was in infecting people, much higher level of transmission. this one the delta is higher than that. and so essentially what's happening is anyone who is unvaccinated is at very high risk now of getting this delta

what we have seen this after the second dose, there has been potentially an increase in cases of what's called myocarditis, inflammation of the heart. which overwhelmingly has not being serious and generally often not required hospitalization. this came out through the various reporting systems. this needs to be evaluated. as i see, the what needs to be kept in mind is the tens of millions of adolescents and young adults who have gotten vaccinated. this is still a very rare, but it's maybe more common among young males, adolescents and young adult males. that's what they want to evaluate. i think the important thing to remember is one, it's extremely rare. a number two, now that we have this delta variant racing through the country, it's going up just like it did in the uk. and could become the dominant variant in the united states,

outpacing the b117 variant. just like it did in the uk. again, it's much more transmissible. so the b117 variant was more transmissible than the original lineage. and this dealt a very, is more transmissible than the one one seven. this is the most contagious one we've seen. so we should expect almost anyone who has not been vaccinated yet has a very high likelihood of getting covid 19. particularly in the south this summer when we saw a surge last year in fewer than 10% of the island adolescents are immunize. >> which is exactly why, as cory coffin pointed out, they're trying to get younger people to get vaccinated. and get those numbers up. on the other hand, even though it's most often not serious, when you hear something about inflammation of the heart. it scares people. how concerned are you that they can add to the vaccine hesitancy? especially among young people. >> it could be, but the important thing to keep in mind is, because of this delta variant which is so

to be where we are right now. >> yeah, nicole, and the gap seems to be widening every day. we've nations where we're fully vaccinating new england, the midatlantic states, california, new mexico, all blue or bluish states, and the deep south is vaccinating at about half that rate. so there's a huge vulnerability now to the southern part of the united states, and here's what i'm worried about. if you look at where we were at this time last year, we were at our nadir, and then around the july 4th holiday, we started to see the beginning of this massive surge in the south all through july and august into september that was really devastating. that was our big second wave after the first wave in new york, and i'm worried it's going to happen again. it could happen for two reasons, not only the low vaccination coverage but now, unlike last year, we have these new variants of concern. we already have the b.1.1.7 variant. now we have the delta variant from india.

that, but getting people vaccinated. we have very, very good vaccines. that's the reason why i've been saying we don't want to let happen in the united states what is happening currently in the uk. >> okay. dr. paul offet directs the vaccination center at children's hospital of philadelphia. he joins us now. always great to have you, doctor. how concerned should we be about the delta variant. >> very concerned. this is a bad coronavirus out of china has continued to mutate. when it mutates, it becomes more dangerous. the first variant was ultimately taken over by the b.1.1.7 variant, the so-called uk variant, and now this variant is more contagious. could it teenage over?

what's happened to cases since the vaccine has come on the scene, it does seem like a vaccine's going to end the pandemic, if everybody gets vaccinated. so, what's that about? >> well, i think -- so, we did a similar modeling exercise last year with bruce lee's group at city university of new york and i think the difference is they only looked at percentage of vaccinated adults. i think they looked at 25%, 50%, 75% of adults and we looked at the whole population, so i think the key is when you have highly transmission variants like the b.1.1.7 variant, what that means is we're going to have to achieve 75%, 80% of the entire u.s. population. that basically means all of the adults and all of the adolescents and that is a very high bar so yes, i do think we can vaccinate our way out of this epidemic in the united states but it's a high bar and all the adults, all the adolescents need to be vaccinated and we're profoundly underachieving in the southern states and that means that we're

The CDC says the UK variant has become the most dominant COVID strain in the United States. That strain, B.1.1.7, is also widely circulating in Florida.
"Based on our most recent estimates from CDC surveillance, the B.1.1.7 variant is now the most common lineage circulating in the United States," CDC director Rochelle Walensky said last week.

B117 variant silently spread across 15 countries by mid-November 2020: Study
The highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 variant -- B117 variant -- silently spread across 15 countries by mid-November 2020, found a new study underlining the significance of increasing laboratory surveillance. The B117 variant, which has been more lethal than the original coronavirus strain, was first discovered in early December 2020 in the United Kingdom. But, it was already silently spreading across the globe, revealed the study published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
"We estimate that the B117 variant probably arrived in the US by October of 2020, two months before we knew it existed," said Lauren Ancel Meyers, Professor of integrative biology at the University of Texas at Austin.
