Soumya Swaminathan, the Chief Scientist of the World Health Organization, has indicated that there is clear evidence that the pandemic of coronavirus does not slow, as Delta and slow vaccine spreads in most areas of the world.
In a recent Bloomberg interview, Swaminathan told Covid-19 that death rates had risen from 30-40 percent in the previous two weeks in five of the six areas of the WHO.

“Nearly 500,000 new cases have been documented in the last 24 hours, and some 9,300 deaths are now not a slowing-down pandemic,” Swaminathan added. Four main factors for the virus’ constant propagation were listed: Delta variant, social mixing, easy lock-up, and low speed of immunization.
Swaminathan stated that the fast-disseminating Delta form is the most mobile, deadly version of Covid-19 to date and is the primary driver for infection growth. She claimed a person with the original virus might infect about three persons and that a person may infect nearly eight individuals with the Delta variation.
She stated that individuals move out of their homes and undergo social mixture, either out of pandemic weariness or out of compulsion, which results in an increased number of instances. In addition, several nations and areas of the world have loosened limitations and even announced the relaxation of security measures, such as masking and social distance.
While in certain nations, the immunization level is lowering severe Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations, Swaminathan stated that areas of the world still experience oxygen scarcity, hospital bed shortages, and a greater incidence of death.
In a second interview, Swaminathan added that the results of Phase 3 of Covaxin looked good, and perhaps, by mid-August, it would be authorized by the WHO.
