Variante Delta (India) en Ciego de Ávila, Cuba. Confirman en Ciego de Ávila cepa india del SARS-CoV-2 – Artemisa Diario«“No queremos infundir pánico, pero es importante entender que Delta es altamente contagiosa, se estima que 3.5 veces más que el resto. Los estudios a nivel internacional indican que esta virulencia podría modificar hasta la distancia recomendada entre personas. Países con un elevado por ciento de vacunación, y que ya habían eliminado restricciones, están sufriendo ahora una nueva ola de contagios provocada por esta cepa”.
La variante Delta ahora representa aproximadamente 1 de cada 5 nuevas infecciones de coronavirus en los EE. UU., Dijeron los CDC. Y con más de la mitad de la población aún no completamente vacunada, según los CDC, los expertos en salud y los funcionarios temen que las regiones con bajas cantidades de protección contra el virus puedan ver aumentos en el otoño y el invierno.
(Reuters) – Los Angeles County health officials have recommended that all residents wear masks in public indoor spaces irrespective of whether they have been vaccinated or not for COVID-19 due to the increased circulation of the highly transmissible Delta variant.(Reuters) – Los funcionarios de salud del condado de Los Ángeles han recomendado que todos los residentes usen máscaras en los espacios públicos interiores, independientemente de si han sido vacunados o no contra el COVID-19 debido a la mayor circulación de la variante Delta altamente transmisible.
Monday’s announcement of the recommendation by the health department in the country’s most populous county comes as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted that Delta variants are now responsible for about one in every five new infections across the country.
«Public Health strongly recommends people wear masks indoors in settings such as grocery or retail stores; theaters and family entertainment centers, and workplaces when you don’t know everyone’s vaccination status,» the county’s health department said.
(Bloomberg) — Hong Kong will ban all passenger flights from Britain starting Thursday, labeling the country “extremely high risk” just as it loosens entry requirements for people traveling from most other parts of the world.
(Bloomberg) – Hong Kong prohibirá todos los vuelos de pasajeros desde Gran Bretaña a partir del jueves, etiquetando al país de «riesgo extremadamente alto» al igual que flexibiliza los requisitos de entrada para las personas que viajan desde la mayoría de las otras partes del mundo.
La decisión se tomó «en vista del reciente repunte de la situación epidémica en el Reino Unido y la cepa del virus variante delta generalizada allí, junto con una serie de casos con cepas del virus mutante L452R detectadas por pruebas de personas que llegan del Reino Unido».

El director de la Unidad de Enfermedades Infecciosas de Saba considera que los niños y adolescentes que aún no han sido vacunados también deben volver a tener mascarillas. En su opinión, para controlar los recientes brotes de coronavirus, deben vacunarse ahora («los efectos secundarios son completamente menores») y hacer cumplir la prohibición de viajar a países con alta morbilidad. El profesor Eran Segal agreפרופ’ גליה רהב: «ממליצה לחזור לעטות מסכות במקומות צפופים» (ynet.co.il)gó: «Incluso si hay un brote más significativo, estamos protegidos, gracias a la vacuna»
«La intervención más efectiva para prevenir el coronavirus es la vacunación»,dice hoy (martes) a Ynet la profesora Galia Rahav, directora de la Unidad de Enfermedades Infecciosas del Centro Médico Sheba,tras los brotes de los últimos días. «Recomendamos vacunar a los jóvenes. También sabemos que los efectos secundarios, que nos preocupaban un poco, son completamente menores. La vacunación es lo más efectivo».
¿La cepa es resistente a la vacunación?
Según el hasta ahora conocido, las personas que están vacunadas contra el coronavirus en las vacunas de Pfizer y Moderna y en algunas otras vacunas están protegidas contra todas las cepas de coronavirus, incluida la cepa india. Sin embargo, cuando se trata de la cepa india, la protección de la vacuna disminuye de aproximadamente 95% a aproximadamente 88%.בעקבות התפרצויות הקורונה: האם גם המחוסנים יכולים להידבק בווריאנט ההודי? (ynet.co.il)
A la pregunta, si cree que vale la pena volver a usar mascarillas, respondió: «Definitivamente estoy a favor de usar mascarillas, sobre todo en lugares concurridos como aeropuertos y hospitales. Adolescentes y niños que aún no están vacunados, por supuesto que también deben usar mascarillas».
El profesor Eran Segal, componente del modelo de predicción de coronavirus del Instituto Weizmann, que también participó en la entrevista, agregó: «Vale la pena poner las cosas en perspectiva. Estamos viendo la propagación de la cepa Delta, descubierta por primera vez en la India, y todos los datos de todo el mundo sugieren que la vacuna de Pfizer en ambas dosis es tan efectiva contra ella como lo fue contra la cepa anterior que conocíamos. Es decir, una vez que el 90% de la población de riesgo de Israel es vacunada con dos dosis de Pfizer, la población está protegida, incluso si hay un brote más significativo de esta cepa. Ese es el mensaje más importante».
Dijo que no se trataba de una propagación generalizada del coronavirus en Israel. «Estamos hablando de una serie de lugares locales, donde han hecho muchas pruebas y han descubierto brotes», dice el profesor Segal. «Podría deberse a la especie india, que sabemos que es más contagiosa. Es posible que veamos más variantes más adelante. La especie india no será la última. Pero vale la pena prestar atención a las cifras: en la última semana solo ha habido tres nuevos pacientes gravemente enfermos, la mayoría de los confirmados son niños, y hasta donde sabemos, no han desarrollado síntomas. Así que tenemos que poner las cosas en perspectiva. Estamos hablando de 30 casos confirmados al día, cuando antes había muchos miles. La vacuna nos protege de la morbilidad grave».

Más tarde en la entrevista, se le pidió al profesor Rahav que abordara la situación en el aeropuerto Ben Gurion y el hecho de que los israelíes viajan a países donde la incidencia es grave, como Rusia. «Es muy doloroso de ver», dijo. «Hay que hacer cumplir la ley. Deberían haberlo hecho hace mucho tiempo. No hay razón para ir a lugares como Rusia y todos los países «negros» ( contaminados). Debemos evitar ir a zonas donde la incidencia es alta, sobre todo con niños».A la pregunta, qué espera del Ministerio de Salud, respondió: «En primer lugar, vacunar a los jóvenes. En segundo lugar, organizarse sobre lo que está sucediendo en el aeropuerto: hacer controles correctamente, ampliar el sitio, hacer cumplir las prohibiciones de viaje a lugares donde el coronavirus es común. También se deben llevar a cabo investigaciones epidemiológicas exhaustivas en cada caso. Solo así podremos evitar la propagación».
«If the original strainwas contagious after a 15-minute stay next to a sick person – now it’s even less,»«Si la cepa original era contagiosa después de una estadía de 15 minutos junto a una persona enferma, ahora es incluso menos» Prof. Cyril Cohen, an immunization expert at Bar-Ilan University.פחות מ-15 דקות: «דלתא מדביק מהר יותר מהזנים הקודמים» (ynet.co.il)

«The most important question is whether the Delta strain causes a more serious disease. There’s different evidence on this subject.

She can’t know exactly what species I’ve been infected with. To know more, you have to do a flooring of the virus, and it takes time.

Less than 15 minutes: «Delta infects faster than previous strains»

Prof. Cohen mentioned another species that experts on the subject have been exposed to in recent days – Delta Plus. «There’s another mutation in it that’s somewhere,» he said, «and it’s probably more contagious than Delta. All the mutations that bother us are in spike – the thorn protein, which helps the virus stick to our cells. There are unique mutations, some of which we knew from other variants. They help the virus fold more correctly and stick to our cells better, which makes it much more massive and easier to infect our cells.»»The most important question is whether the Delta strain causes a more serious disease.

Just when Israel thought it had beaten the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus struck again.On the one hand, health officials continue to say that these outbreaks are expected, and that because Israel is largely vaccinated with a shot that works against the new Delta variant, the country should not enter another health crisis.Read More Related Articles
Recommended byOn the other hand, in recent days the government has introduced new rules, reestablished the coronavirus cabinet and more.The Jerusalem Post, together with a team of health experts, tries to answer all of today’s top 10 COVID questions.
1. What is the Delta variant, and how did it end up in Israel?
The Delta variant, formerly known as the Indian variant, is exactly as its name implies: a viral mutation. Every virus replicates. In the process, there are often mutations, most of which have no effect.Since the start of the coronavirus crisis, there have been four more problematic mutations: The Alpha variant, which is commonly known as the British variant, the Beta or South African variant, the Gamma or Brazilian variant, and now there is the Delta variant.
Delta first appeared in India in the winter. By February, it had traveled to the United Kingdom, and today it accounts for 90% of the country’s cases. It also traveled to the US, where it accounts for around 20% of all cases. And now it is in Israel.The variant entered the country through Israel’s airport, and health officials have said it started to circulate because people who were required to quarantine, which would have kept the variant contained, failed to do so.The Delta variant is of concern because it is much more contagious than the original virus.“If we compare the original strain to the Alpha variant, we know it is up to 60% more infectious than the original strain, and the Delta variant is 60% more infectious than the Alpha variant,” explained Prof. Cyrille Cohen, an immunologist at Bar-Ilan University and a member of the advisory committee for clinical trials on SARS-COV2 vaccines at the Health Ministry.However, in Israel, where the majority of people are vaccinated, the Delta variant should be less problematic. A large study performed in England showed that the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine against hospitalization due to the Delta variant is about 96%, meaning it works as well against the Delta variant as the Alpha variant. Moreover, the efficacy for symptomatic disease is 88%, also similar to its efficacy against other variants.The challenge is that “we don’t yet know what the vaccine’s efficacy is against asymptomatic cases,” said Prof. Galia Rahav, head of the Infectious Disease Unit and Laboratories at the Sheba Medical Center.And it is starting to look like even in Israel, where about 85% of the adult population is vaccinated with two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, the Delta variant can spread.
2. Why would someone who is vaccinated catch coronavirus?
Because the Delta variant is so transmissible, it is capable of disseminating even in circumstances where the high population rate of vaccination would have otherwise made this exceedingly difficult.According to Public Health Services head Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, as of Wednesday night some 891 people had been diagnosed with coronavirus in the last month, 50% of whom were fully vaccinated. Health Ministry director-general Chezy Levy further clarified that the last 99 infected people over the age of 16 had been fully vaccinated and 39 had not.“Since in Israel 85% of the adult population is vaccinated, even with 90% vaccine effectiveness against the Delta variance, one would expect among adults to see more infections among vaccinated than unvaccinated because of their sheer relative volume,” said Prof. Ran Balicer, founding director of the Clalit Research Institute and director of Health Policy Planning for Clalit. “People find it difficult to understand. They say, ‘If I see so many vaccinated people infected in Israel, then it has to be that the vaccine is not effective.’ But this is not the case.”
3. If Israel ends up with a lot of new cases, is the public health system at risk again?
Whatever happens now, Israel will not go back to the situation it had during the country’s third wave in January, Balicer stressed.On Wednesday, when Levy presented the rising trend in morbidity in recent days, he carefully clarified that “we have not yet seen severe disease among vaccinated people.”Israel went into three lockdowns in one year because the country was afraid that too high a number of patients would cause the hospital and health fund systems to collapse, said Nadav Davidovitch, an epidemiologist and public health physician at Bar-Ilan University.Right now, the vaccine is doing its job to prevent serious infection, hospitalization and death.Nonetheless, he said that many health reforms are needed, and increased funding is essential to ensure that if the number of serious cases does rise, the healthcare system will not once again be at risk.Already on Thursday, Wolfson Medical Center reported that an unvaccinated 48-year-old man was hospitalized in critical condition. The young man had no underlying medical conditions.
4. The government decided to push off allowing individual tourists to enter Israel from July 1 to August 1. Was this the right decision?
Here, health experts seem to disagree. On the one hand, Dr. Talya Miron-Shatz, founding director of the Center for Medical Decision-Making at Ono Academic College, stressed that “I don’t think [tourists] should be let in.”She said that Israel needs to keep its borders closed to prevent variants from entering.“You have to draw the line between, ‘I welcome you as a person, but not as a person who potentially endangers my country,’” Miron-Shatz said.In contrast, Cohen said that the government should have moved forward with its plans but just put a better screening system in place at the airport. He recommended requiring three tests for all people who enter Israel: a PCR test at the airport, an antigen test at the airport, and another PCR test three or four days after arrival.“From the moment you do a PCR test, you can leave the airport,” Cohen explained. “You can spend 12 hours without knowing you are infected and spreading the virus to other people. It is unacceptable.”An antigen test, which is about 80% accurate and takes about 15 minutes to swab and process, would catch most people with coronavirus before they leave the airport complex. Moreover, a test taken a few days later would nab those who contracted the virus on the plane or very shortly before and hence did not have enough viral load to test positive on arrival.Finally, Israelis should also be careful about their summer decisions, Rahav said, recommending that parents not take their unvaccinated children out of Israel, because it is “problematic” and “dangerous.”“This summer don’t go abroad,” she instructed. “Wait this summer, and hopefully next summer tourism will come back.”
5. The government also rolled out a set of new regulations. What are they?
The following is the new government’s road map for conquering corona, according to a release by the Prime Minister’s Office:• Launch a national operation, including a dedicated PR campaign, to vaccinate everyone over the age of 12. In addition, the government will run an information campaign to encourage citizens to strictly maintain the obligation to quarantine.• Resume operations of the network to cut off the chain of infection, in cooperation with local authorities. Alroy-Preis said that there are currently 168 epidemiological investigators working, which is enough to cover the required investigations.• If cases spike to more than 100 new cases a day, every day, for a week, it will become obligatory to wear masks in all closed spaces. Coronavirus commissioner Prof. Nachman Ash said Thursday that the mandate is expected to go into effect on Sunday, although at the time of this writing, health officials are only “recommending” that people wear masks, except at the airport and medical facilities, where they are required to do so.• The bodies involved in managing the fight against the coronavirus (such as the Health Ministry control center) will continue operations, which will be boosted and strengthened, as necessary.• A plan will be formulated to increase enforcement of verified cases that violate quarantine.“They will be tried, and punishments will be severe,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.• The “Magen Avot’’ plan will resume operations, testing around 10,000 elderly in senior living facilities a day. The number of people being screened each day from the general public will also be increased.• All people traveling through Ben-Gurion Airport will be required to wear masks. Those traveling abroad will sign a declaration before boarding their planes to the effect that they promise not to go to high-risk countries. This declaration will be checked at the boarding desk. The same rules will be applied to land crossings.
6. Do masks really help?
Health officials say that masks can stop the spread of infection – especially at the airport.“The airport is a place where you have more people that are not vaccinated than anywhere in Israel except schools,” Cohen said. “There are lots of families in close proximity to one another, waiting in lines. This is a crowded environment.”Last Friday, a huge group of travelers arrived at the airport at the same time, and there were such long lines so close to Shabbat that a decision was made to send thousands of them home without being screened.Since then, the Health and Defense ministries have expanded the number of testing booths at Ben-Gurion Airport and have committed to quickly create an additional testing complex.“We know that 85% to 99% of all infections happen in closed spaces,” Cohen said.
7. If asked again to wear masks again, social distance or take on other restrictions, will Israelis be willing to do it?
“I think if we will give advice, it will be largely heeded,” Balicer told the Post.Miron-Shatz said that if logical rules are rolled out, officials must enforce them to protect the people – whether the people like it or not.“If someone is diabetic, they are diabetic. That is their problem,” she said. “If someone has COVID, it is the problem of everyone around them, who can catch the virus.”She said there were some people who resented the green passport system or other restrictions put on unvaccinated citizens, “but the truth is, you have to protect yourself and society, and we have been lax with that.”Miron-Shatz bemoaned, however, that the previous administration sometimes put in place rules that made little epidemiological sense, such as not being allowed to wade in the sea, which also made people resentful. So, if this government is going to issue new regulations, they should “make sense and be seen not as a way of controlling me but, rather, of protecting me.”So far, the Health and Transportation ministries and the Airports Authority appear to be willing to collaborate for the benefit of the public, Davidovitch said. “This integration is so important.”
8. The United Arab Emirates is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, yet it has a high level of infection right now and has been the culprit for a large percentage of the infection brought into Israel. Why?
Different vaccines have different levels of protection.The Chinese Sinovac vaccine, used in large parts of the Emirates, is called an inactivated vaccine, in which one takes the original virus and chemically modifies it to kill it and then injects it in the body. Inactivated vaccines have been around for more than 100 years.“We know that when you do that process, by boiling the virus or adding a chemical compound, what you might do is that you destroy the original structure of the virus, and what you are injecting is not enough reminiscent of the original virus, and therefore the antibodies you are generating are not optimal to fight the real virus,” Cohen told the Post. “One of the Chinese vaccines – they expected 78% protection, but real-life data in South America and other places are showing protection is more like 50%.”Similarly, the AstraZeneca vaccine has been found to be only around 60% effective in protecting against getting symptomatic cases of COVID following exposure to the Delta variant, and 92% effective at preventing hospitalization.“You might be sick, but you can stay at home. This is a huge difference,” Cohen continued. “Some protection is better than none – especially if you do not have a choice.”
9. Should children 12-15 vaccinate? Why or why not?
Here, too, health officials have different perspectives.Rahav said the effectiveness of the vaccine in adolescents trumps its side effects.“There have been about 150 cases of myocarditis [heart inflammation] in Israel, and no one is really sure it is related to the vaccine,” she said. “More than 95% of the cases were very mild, and they were only diagnosed because the vaccine is suspected of causing such a thing.“The risks of having contracted coronavirus and having dangerous coronavirus are much higher,” Rahav stressed.But Cohen said he is not yet sure.He admitted that one in 1,000 youth can develop an inflammatory syndrome due to the virus, but said that “if there is no urgency and the disease is manageable and we want to have more data about the potential [long-term harm] of those vaccines on teenagers, you could wait.”On the other hand, Cohen noted that if there is a new variant that might compromise the vaccine’s protection and you need to reach higher vaccine coverage to preserve herd immunity, then this should be considered.“Even if it is only to help kids feel better psychologically that they are protected, then it is worth considering vaccinating,” he added.More important than the young people, however, are the 200,000 people over the age of 50 who have still not gotten the jab, said Davidovitch.
10. Will coronavirus ever go away?
“COVID is going to stay with us,” Davidovitch maintained.“We like to think of coronavirus like the flu. You have the flu, get over it and move on with life,” Miron-Shatz said. “But this is more like having diabetes.”Diabetes is a chronic disease, and living with it requires much more discipline.“You have to stay on top of it,” Miron-Shatz said. “That is the nature of the COVID beast, and we need to prepare for that.”Nonetheless, health officials believe that, at least in Israel, COVID-19 will probably drop from the headlines once again soon and the public will move on – until there is another outbreak, something that Cohen said he believes there will definitely be.“Israel showed that you can take off your masks and live again,” he said. “COVID will be here, but I think we will get into a much better scenario [than now] – especially as vaccination spreads around the world.”
14 hours ago · An outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in Israel has spread to some vaccinated people — with about half of the adults infected fully inoculated with the Pfizer shot, a health official said.
Jun 24, 2021 · As of Thursday, about 57% of Israel‘s population had been fully vaccinated, according to Johns Hopkins University data. As of Monday, no severe cases of COVID-19 had been reported from the latest surge, Ran Balicer, an executive at the Israeli healthcare organization Clalit, said in a tweet. Of all the coronavirus variants, the Delta variant could pose the greatest risk to vaccinated people.
Over five million people in Israel have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, according to Health Ministry figures published Thursday, representing some 54 percent of the total population…

The Delta variant, first discovered in India, has now been found in 49 states and Washington, D.C. The variant is more transmissible and can lead to more severe disease than other strains of the coronavirus.
In the U.K., the Delta variant now accounts for 99% of new COVID cases, according to Public Health England. Gottlieb says the US is only a month or two behind the U.K. in terms of their experience with the variant.
«They’re seeing cases grow. They’re certainly not taking off with the same velocity that we’ve seen in past epidemics. The other thing that we’re observing about the U.K. experience right now is it’s not having the same impact. So they’ve had about 90,000 cases, they’ve had about 1,000 hospitalizations. The vast majority are in people who are unvaccinated. Only 8% of people who have been fully vaccinated are among the hospitalized patients,» Gottlieb said. «And so you have a situation where you have a population that has more immunity, not just through vaccination, but also through prior infection. So it’s not having the same impact in terms of causing severe death and disease as it was during the last epidemic.»
La variante Delta, descubierta por primera vez en la India, se ha encontrado ahora en 49 estados y Washington, D.C. La variante es más transmisible y puede conducir a una enfermedad más grave que otras cepas del coronavirus.
En el Reino Unido, la variante Delta ahora representa el 99% de los nuevos casos de COVID, según Public Health England. Gottlieb dice que Estados Unidos está solo uno o dos meses por detrás del Reino Unido en términos de su experiencia con la variante.
«Están viendo crecer los casos. Ciertamente no están despegando con la misma velocidad que hemos visto en epidemias pasadas. La otra cosa que estamos observando sobre la experiencia del Reino Unido en este momento es que no está teniendo el mismo impacto. Así que han tenido alrededor de 90.000 casos, han tenido alrededor de 1.000 hospitalizaciones. La gran mayoría están en personas que no están vacunadas. Solo el 8% de las personas que han sido completamente vacunadas se encuentran entre los pacientes hospitalizados», dijo Gottlieb. «Y entonces tienes una situación en la que tienes una población que tiene más inmunidad, no solo a través de la vacunación, sino también a través de la infección previa. Por lo tanto, no está teniendo el mismo impacto en términos de causar muertes y enfermedades graves que durante la última epidemia».

Dear friends from Sarasota, Florida who faithfully follow this blog, as you may have noticed I have a great interest in reflecting what happens in England with the COVID-19 variants and this is because they have the most powerful genomic sequencer in real time in the world. Mujndo so that they are a reference of what could happen in other countries if we take into consideration that despite the fact that a high percent of the English population is vaccinated they cannot control the pandemic, now, due to the extensiveness of the Delta variant that It is very close to Sarasota, apparently, because a 40% more transmissible variant was detected in Manatee County that killed two unvaccinated people, according to the Sarasota Herald Tribune, hence the importance of getting vaccinated and protecting yourself from the unvaccinated.
An interesting fact is that with regard to hospitalizations in the United Kingdom it has been found that some older people, even vaccinated, are not fully protected if they do not adopt preventive behavior. Dr Jenny Harries, Executive Director of the UK Health Security Agency, said: ‘Thanks to the success of our vaccination program, the data suggests that we have started to break the link between cases and hospitalizations. “This is very encouraging news, but we cannot be complacent. Two doses of vaccine are much more effective against Covid than a single dose, so please make sure to show up for your second dose as soon as you are invited. “Although vaccines provide excellent protection, they do not provide total protection, which is why it remains as important as long as we remain cautious.
Chers amis de Sarasota, en Floride, qui suivez fidèlement ce blog, comme vous l’avez peut-être remarqué, j’ai un grand intérêt à refléter ce qui se passe en Angleterre avec les variantes COVID-19 et c’est parce qu’ils ont le séquenceur génomique le plus puissant en temps réel dans le Monde afin qu’ils soient une référence de ce qui pourrait arriver dans d’autres pays si l’on considère que malgré le fait qu’un pourcentage élevé de la population anglaise est vacciné, ils ne peuvent pas contrôler la pandémie, maintenant, en raison de l’étendue du delta variante qui Il est très proche de Sarasota, apparemment, car une variante 40 % plus transmissible a été détectée qui a tué deux personnes non vaccinées, selon le Sarasota Herald Tribune, d’où l’importance de se faire vacciner et de se protéger des non vaccinés.
Queridos amigos de Sarasota, Florida que siguen fielmente este blog, como se habran dado cuenta tengo un alto interes por reflejar que ocurre en Inglaterra con las variantes del COVID-19 y esto es debido a que tienen el secuenciador genomico en tiempo real mas potente del mundo de manera que son una referencia de lo que pudiera pasar en otros paises si tomamos en consideracion que pese a que un alto por ciento de la poblacion inglesa esta vacunada no logran controlar la pandemia, ahora, debido a lo extensiva de la variante Delta que esta muy cerca de Sarasota, al parecer, debido a que se detecto una variante 40% mas transmisibles que mato a dos personas no vacunadas, segun lei en el Sarasota Herald Tribune, de ahi la importancia de vacunarse y protegerse de los no vacunados.
Un dato interesante es que con respecto a las hospitalizaciones en el Reino Unidos se ha comprobado que algunas personas mayores, aun vacunados, no estan totalmente protegidos si no adoptan una conducta de prevencion. La Dra. Jenny Harries, directora ejecutiva de la Agencia de Seguridad Sanitaria del Reino Unido, dijo: «Gracias al éxito de nuestro programa de vacunación, los datos sugieren que hemos comenzado a romper el vínculo entre los casos y las hospitalizaciones.
«Esta es una noticia muy alentadora, pero no podemos caer en la autocomplacencia. Dos dosis de vacuna son mucho más efectivas contra el Covid que una sola dosis, así que por favor asegúrese de presentarse para recibir su segunda dosis tan pronto como se le invite.
«Aunque las vacunas proporcionan una protección excelente, no proporcionan una protección total, por lo que sigue siendo tan importante como siempre que sigamos siendo cautelosos.

COVID Outbreak Kills Two, Shuts Down County Building
The Manatee County Administration Building in downtown Bradenton.
Staff Report•Sunday, Jun 20, 2021
BRADENTON — A COVID-19 outbreak has killed two Manatee County IT department employees and hospitalized three other government workers. The outbreak forced Manatee County Administrator Scott Hopes to shut down the county administrative building on Friday. One of the employees died while hospitalized on Monday, while another died at home on Thursday. COVID-19 was the cause of death in both cases. On Friday, the county was working on contract tracing with the Florida Department of Health Manatee County’s epidemiologists. The building will remain closed through the weekend while deep cleaning and other sanitary measures are taken. The facility, which hosts a wide range of government agencies and departments, is scheduled to reopen at 8 a.m. Monday.
Just over a month ago, the Manatee County Commission voted 6-1 (Commissioner Reggie Bellamy dissenting) to remove COVID-19 safety regulations from the building and other county facilities. Hopes, himself an epidemiologist, temporarily reinstated COVID protocols Friday. Next Friday, the county will hold a vaccine event for staff and their family members. The county issued the following press release Saturday, regarding the building’s reopening: When the County Administration Building reopens for regular business hours on Monday, June 21, face masks will be optional for the public and employees inside the facility. County Administrator Dr. Scott Hopes said an internal examination of the COVID cases among the County’s workforce over the past week impacted only people who were not vaccinated. In a message to employees today he said, «Individual employees in the IT Department who were known to be fully vaccinated and who were in close proximity of those who were infected did not contract COVID-19.» Dr. Hopes goes on to say, «I am reaffirming the Board of County Commissioners’ decision and recommendations made at the May 11, 2021 Commission meeting.» Hopes says visitors and employees who are not fully vaccinated should practice COVID-19 prevention measures. The County will continue to provide N95 or equivalent masks for unvaccinated visitors and employees who want to use them when in County buildings. «Visitors and employees who are fully vaccinated may return to work as usual,» Dr. Hopes said. «Unvaccinated individuals are encouraged but not required, to follow COVID-19 prevention measures, including use of N95 or equivalent masks, which will be available at each entrance, and social distancing.» During the May 11 County Commission meeting, the Board repealed COVID safety requirements and made strong recommendations that individuals who visit the Administration building or other public facilities should use their best judgment to protect themselves from the spread of germs. Manatee County will offer another COVID-19 vaccine clinic for employees in the County Administration Building on Friday, June 25 at 10 a.m.

La gran mayoría de glioblastomas son primarios, es decir, aproximadamente el 90%, aparecen súbitamente y son de nueva aparición (de novo), en pacientes de edad avanzada, sin evidencia clínica o histológica de una lesión precursora menos maligna (glioblastomas primarios). La supervivencia media está entre los 12 y los 18 meses cuando se trata con una resección máxima segura más quiorradioterapia adyuvante. Se conocen como glioblastomas IDH wild type porque no presentan mutaciones en la Isocitrato deshidrogenasa (IDH).
Los glioblastomas secundarios se desarrollan a partir de un astrocitoma difuso de bajo grado (astrocitoma grado II de la OMS) o astrocitoma anaplásico (astrocitoma grado III de la OMS), previamente diagnosticados en el paciente. Se manifiestan en pacientes más jóvenes, tienen un menor grado de necrosis, se localizan preferentemente en el lóbulo frontal y tienen un pronóstico significativamente mejor.
