HELLO GENTLE PEOPLE!

   LIKE MOST PEOPLE IN QUEBEC WHO WERE TWICE VACCINATED, I WAS PREPARED TO RELAX AND ENJOY MY SUMMER UNTIL TODAY, WHEN I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED HOW EXPERTS AND DOCTORS ARE CONCERNED THAT QUEBEC IS UNDERESTIMATING THE PRESENCE OF THE DELTA VARIANT. 

 THE DELTA VARIANT IS MUCH MORE CONTAGIOUS THAN THE ORIGINAL STRAIN AND IF ALLOWED TO INFILTRATE UNSUSPECTING QUEBEC CITIZENS; IN OTHER WORDS IF WE LOWER OUR GAURDS AND RELAX, MANY OF US COULD DIE!

 DAVID FISMAN IS AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST AND PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO AND HE CLAIMS, ALONG WITH A FEW MORE EXPERTS, THAT THE DELTA VIRUS WILL CAUSE LARGER EPIDEMICS AND BE MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. "WE FIND THAT PATIENTS WITH THE DELTA STRAIN ARE THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO GO TO INTENSIVE CARE AND TWICE AS LIKELY TO DIE THAN PATIENTS WITH THE ORIGINAL STRAIN OF SARS-CoV-2.."

====================

“Right now, things are going well in Canada from a COVID-19 perspective. But who knows what awaits us?“ said Paul Warshawsky, head of the intensive care unit at the Jewish General Hospital. “It’s not over, it’s just a new normal. And what’s frustrating for us in the health-care system is that for a lot of the population (the pandemic) is over. And it’s not.”

 THE DELTA VARIANT HAS SEVERAL MUTATIONS IN THE S PROTEIN ON THE SURFACE OF THE VIRUS WHICH SEEMS TO MAKE IT MORE TRANSMISSIBLE.
