The “Terror” of the Delta Variant? It is waning in the UK
Covid-19 Delta Variant concept with graphics
According to Reuters Data, the number of new cases in the UK fell for the sixth consecutive day, to 24,950 on Monday from 29,173 on Sunday. The total number of new cases in the past week, just over a quarter of a million, is more than 20% lower than the previous week.
Furthermore, despite the rapid increase in cases to near-peak levels, mortality is currently 95% lower than the January peak. This should spread confidence that the delta variant is not a serious threat to global growth. If the US follows the UK pattern, daily cases could peak in the next 12 days… If Europe follows the same pattern the maximum could be reached around September. In the end, is the Delta variant in the end much less of a threat than it seems?
What is the situation in the country that gave way to the viariante Delta, that is, India, which has seen the greatest explosion?
This information also has an impact from an economic point of view: much of the panic that was linked to the economic impact of the crisis for the Delta variant may not be justified. A clear figure is also shown between the different levels of the United Kingdom and Indonesia, where treatments are less perfect and vaccination further back, only at 10%.

It must be said that that last country, with a move with devastating effects, has also decided to stop the distribution of Ivermectin, but forget it.
Therefore, in a Western country, with a good level of immunizations between natural and vaccinated, it should not be excessively affected by the Delta variant, neither from the point of view of human lives nor, except for self-destructive moves, from the economic point of view.
