According to the Los Angeles Department of Health,The number of vaccinated people in Los Angeles infected with the Delta variant has increased compared with the previous month, from 20% of the total number of infections to 25% now.
The Health Bureau believes that although cross-infection between vaccinated and non-vaccinated people is expected, the number of infections among vaccinated people has increased significantly.
"As more and more people are vaccinated, the proportion of vaccinated people who are infected will indeed increase accordingly," said Barbara Ferrer, director of public health in Los Angeles County. "Delta variants are more transmissible and have a higher infection rate. high."
According to data from the Department of Health, there were 7 new infections in Los Angeles County in the half month from July 1 to July 7.Among them, 3592 cases are people who have been fully vaccinated.
The California Department of Public Health, Dr. Tomas Aragon, said that when you are in a public indoor place,Everyone should wear a mask, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or not.
At the same time, the CDC also issued a similar view: Due to the super transmission of the Delta variant, everyone must wear a mask in public and continue to maintain social distance.
According to NBC reports, 891 out of every XNUMX million residents are currently hospitalized due to the new crown, and this number is still rising.
Yesterday, a total of 15 people in Los Angeles County died due to the new crown.
What’s more worrying is that in previous data, Pfizer’s vaccine has been claimed to be 88% effective against mutated viruses.But in the latest data, Pfizer's effectiveness has dropped to 64%.
However, experts say that although the vaccine’s effectiveness has been reduced for the delta variant, vaccination is still many times safer than no vaccination; and people who have been vaccinated, even if they are really infected, are not likely to cause severe illness.
The good news is that the number of vaccinations is finally on the rise.
Due to the obvious rebound trend of the epidemic in California this summer, relevant departments have been taking measures to encourage people to wear masks and vaccinate. These efforts have achieved some results. Some people who were skeptical about vaccines are finally willing to put down their vigilance and accept it. NS.
From July 7th to 18th,California distributes an average of 64000 vaccines per day, which is 3100 higher than the number distributed a week ago.
Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles Department of Public Health, is very pleased with this and encourages others who have not been vaccinated to continue to keep up.
According to data from the Los Angeles Times,So far, a total of 53% of people in California have been fully vaccinated; in addition, 61% have completed a dose of the vaccine.
"We are in a situation where we are fighting against the water. Everyone's decision will affect other people," California Governor Newsom said. "People who are unwilling to get vaccinated are having a devastating impact on other people.This is basically no different from drunk driving. "
If Newsom’s attitude is fairly polite, then Los Angeles County Chief Executive Sheila Kuehl’s attitude is very tough. She said angrily: A group of fools who don’t get vaccinated are now making trouble for others. I can’t understand why they don’t. Understand the severity of this crisis!
At present, the United States has begun to gradually implement mandatory vaccination measures,Biden today ordered all US federal workers to be vaccinated or have a nucleic acid test once a week.
Finally, I hope that those who have not been vaccinated can make an appointment as soon as possible. After all, your decision will affect not only you, but also everyone around you. People who have been vaccinated should not relax their vigilance. If you go in or out of public places, try your best Continue to wear a mask.
Only when most people unite and cooperate can we be able to defeat this virus.
