Delta strain has 60% more spreadability.
Amid growing concerns about the strain that spreads among unvaccinated people, and after the number of new Corona virus deaths exceeded the number of American soldiers killed in wars during the Civil War, World War I and World War II combined, the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classified, on Tuesday, a strain “ Delta" from Corona as "alarming".
In the details, White House spokesman Kevin Munoz explained in a tweet via Twitter today, that the "delta" variable is worrying, noting that the risks are great for those who have not been vaccinated, but that vaccines are effective against it.

This came at a time when experts believe that the new mutant, which was first identified in India, has a more spread of 60%.
According to British researcher Neil Ferguson, delta has 60% more spreadability than the alpha variant.
It is worth noting that research has identified a number of Delta side effects, in addition to the traditional symptoms that accompany infection with previous corona strains.
Researchers have revealed that headaches, sore throats and a runny nose are now the most common symptoms associated with the infection of the new strain, and are more like a “severe cold” for young people, according to the BBC.
600,000 people died
A British study also added that although young people may not feel very ill, they may be contagious and put others at risk, noting that anyone who thinks they may be infected with the virus should take a test.
It is noteworthy that Johns Hopkins University had announced the death of more than 600,000 people due to the Corona virus in the United States.
This number represents about 15% of the total deaths from the Corona virus in the world, which is more than 3.8 million.
The United States is still the most affected country by Corona, according to official data, followed by Brazil and India.
