      9) I think it’s safe to say #DeltaVariant is now the greatest threat of #COVID19 pandemic in 2021. It is by far the fastest variant known to date. The data complied from 64 countries by @WHO don’t lie. #B16172 is a clear and present danger to the world.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1405633531695489027 …

      ⚠️Confirmed—#DeltaVariant is by far the *most contagious** variant found to date, with a transmissibility that is ~2x faster than older strain. #P1 is 2nd fastest, says @WHO study.🧵 📍#B117 #Alpha—29% faster 📍#B1351 #Beta—25% 📍#P1 #Gamma—38% 📍#B16172 #Delta—97% #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/qZUdwYhvNF

      10) #DeltaVariant was formerly known as the “Indian variant” before the new Greek names established. In India, it was estimated by @IHME_UW that there were 13-14 million NEW infections PER DAY during its peak. Let that sink in.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1387909840727678981 …

      15) How many infections are there likely currently in India 🇮🇳 per day? Likely **13-14 million new cases per day** says renowned epidemiology institute @IHME_UW. How many cases officially confirmed? 379k. https://covid19.healthdata.org/india?view=infections-testing&tab=trend&test=infections … pic.twitter.com/R0Erceq9aQ

      11) We’ve also seen how #DeltaVariant has efficiently infected millions in India 🇮🇳 and likely killed ~1.6 million people (estimates by Economist and NYT range from 600,000-4 mil). Let that sink in. That’s mostly from #B16172 - aka Delta. Don’t let this happen to the world.pic.twitter.com/DjslEkPNiw

      12) The numbers too staggering? You don’t believe it? Well here is NYT’s analysis. @IHME_UW also estimated over 1 million conservatively as well. This is the same #DeltaVariant now infecting the world. Take it seriously please. And tell your local leaders.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/05/25/world/asia/india-covid-death-estimates.html …

      13) Why act now? Because #DeltaVariant is soaring across multiple countries of the world. It’s all but certain to dominate the US and continental Europe soon too. Even the head of WHO Europe region admits it.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1406681179219189760 …

      It’s coming—#DeltaVariant is now >96% dominant in 3 major counties (UK, Russia, Portugal). It is surging exponentially in the US at now 31% of all cases, up from ~10% just a week ago. The #COVID19 rise & divergence hidden by fast dropping #AlphaVariant. 🧵 https://on.ft.com/3xzeFpZ  pic.twitter.com/psS4j1CVk4

      14) Good news is vaccines mostly work against #DeltaVariant, albeit attenuated (below is the average of AZ and Pfizer vaccines, though 2 dose AZ efficacy itself is actually 60%, not 80%, while Pfizer is 88%). But bad news is 1 dose efficacy is only 30-33%—very poor. Need 2 doses.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1406691916645797891 …

      Eric Feigl-Ding added,

      Eric Feigl-DingVerified account @DrEricDing
      5) One dose of the vaccine is insufficient now. Two doses much more protection, but even then there is an 8% attenuation. Also this is the average of AZ+Pfizer… the actual 2 dose AstraZeneca efficacy according to PHE is only 60%. pic.twitter.com/0w7RKELISQ

      15) that said, the #DeltaVariant is trouble. let this sink in - #DeltaVariant is still penetrating for vaccine breakthroughs that 10% of all hospitalized #COVID19 cases in last week was among those with 2 dose + 14 days fully vaccinated (and UK is majority AZ vaccinated)https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1406421721717030916 …

      10% of all #COVID19 hospitalizations last week were among fully vaccinated, despite >50% adults fully vaccinated in the UK— ➡️ this is the #DeltaVariant, which is 99% of all 🇬🇧 cases. I’m a big 2-dose vaccine advocate—but we still need strong precaution.🧵https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-delta-variant-now-accounts-for-almost-all-of-uks-coronavirus-cases-says-public-health-england-12335566 … pic.twitter.com/0W1WHXagrQ

      17) As Dr Fauci warned recently: “The problem you get into … is that a single dose only provides about ~30% effectiveness [against #DeltaVariant]—so that is really an issue you gotta be careful”, as Fauci tells @nehakhanna_07.pic.twitter.com/jNtP7yLv7H

      18) 2 doses much better than 1. But one dose only modestly better than none against #DeltaVariant. We need 2 doses for everyone ASAP. Fauci and UK leaders all recognize this.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1396332689955950594 …

      NEW—UK reports that 2 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine efficacy for #B16172 India variant: just 60%. And latest study says #B117 efficacy just 66% (lower than before). 1-dose efficacy 33% for #B16172. Clearly #B16172 problematic in 🇬🇧 when 2/3 of shots is AZ https://www.gov.uk/government/news/vaccines-highly-effective-against-b-1-617-2-variant-after-2-doses … pic.twitter.com/tf2V1HCeCg

      Can you please take this on next? Emergency Use is for a LIMITED time with limited data, NOT NOT NOT the vax cure. We don’t know enough yet. Even good people right now are forgetting public health basics - hand hygiene, ventilation, distancing (use reason), keep mask w/you
