One at a mall carnival, the other outside a restaurant. Five people total including three young people ended up in the hospital. The specifics vary but all three tell the same story, the terrifying normalcy of Gun Violence. Cnn defines a Mass Shooting as four or more people shot, excluding the shooter, thats happened more than 280 times across the country since the beginning of 2021. According to the Gun Violence archive, thats about 40 more than this point in 2020 and 65 more than in 2019.

Thats a private matter and i dont think thats going to happen. Thank you. Reporter this is not the first time that type of debate played out in the church. 2004 John Kerry also catholic running for president and some officials were publicly saying he should not receive Communion Due to his support for Abortion Rights and president biden talked about abortion back in the 2012 Vice President ial debate against Paul Ryan also a catholic. Biden who is Vice President at the time said while he supports the Churchs Stance on abortion, he does not believe those views should be imposed on others who have other beliefs essentially laying out his prochoice position, but this entire episode shows how frat religion and politics can be as the catholic bishops are trying to make moves to prevent the president from taking communion.

At least 80 countries have reported the variant. In missouri only 43 of the population is at least partially vaccinated and the Delta Variant is on the rise there. Dr. Sanjay gupta has more on why this strain of the coronavirus is causing so much concern. Reporter The End of january the Alpha Or Uk Dominant in the uk understandably. What happened over that time period . The numbers came down overall which was good but at the same time the Delta Variant started to enter the scene there, you saw the numbers pop back up. Primarily people who had not been vaccinated. That is the concern here and this is a much more transmissible variant. The uk or Alpha Variant was 50 more transmissible than the strain before that and this is 60 for transmissible than the Alpha Variant. In Scotland A study showing people infected with the Delta Variant were more likely to be hospitalized. Appears to be more transmissible and more serious. For more on this im joined by Muhammad Munir, virologist at Lancaster University in england. F thank you for joining us. Weve been warned about variants before, not that long ago doing segments about the Uk Variant and our top experts were warning it could trigger a fourth wave here in the u. S. , and that surge didnt really happen, not in any significant way. Obviously that was before we had as many people vaccinated as we do now but still from a public perception perspective, is there a danger here that people might tune out the warnings about this variant . Compare the Delta Variant to the others weve seen. What makes this one so worrisome . Thank you, kim, for having me on the show. I think one of the important things with the Delta Variant is the unique mutations that havent been seen individually in any of the other variants, making it more strongly to bind to our cells and internalize which make it much more contagious and looking on to the current picture globally with 80 countries reporting and becoming predominant in many countries including the u. S. , 10 of the cases belonging to this variant, all these indicate that so far all the variants that we have seen Delta Variant seems to be more contagious and more dangerous and primarily one reason that makes it more dangerous is because it is escaping immunity and becoming more transmissible in particularly unvaccinated population. So just from a uk perspective, as an example, the uk has been particularly harthit and it seems its spreading Prime Maarily by youn people. Give us a sense of whats happening there. What are you seeing . Absolutely if we look at the picture, in england we have 315 counties out of these 285 counties are the ones that are reporting cases, and all of them are belonging to the Delta Variant and in england, 80 of the country is having an increased number of cases, and looking onto all the consequences of the positive cases, 99 of those positive cases belonging to the Delta Variant and this is more spread into poor communities, communities where the Vaccine Hesitancy has been all in all population where the Vaccine Hasnt been rolled out at that scale, were able to have some barrier against the spread of infection. Because of this Delta Variant becoming more and more transmissible and covering wider communities, even if it is not dangerous, it would take a larger toll on death and thats what were starting to see here in the uk. I saw a study of cases in scotland that found the risk of Hospital Admission with the variant was roughly double compared to the alpha or Uk Variant. You mentioned the vaccine. Basically for people who have been vaccinated, who are watching this, are you essentially protected . Is there nothing to worry about here . Well, one thing is clear, its better to have vaccine than not having it because if we look on to the number of people ended up in hospital in the uk, or ultimately died unfortunately, it was the majority of people are the ones unvaccinated, for example in the hospitalized people 806 are hospitalized recently. Out of those 65 are ones that are unvaccinated. So it indicates that if youre not vaccinated the chances for you to end up in hospital after getting the Delta Variant in particular is extremely high. Overall getting the vaccine is much better than having covid19, particularly with the new variants like Delta Variant. That was virologist Muhammad Munir there. In brazil more than a half million people have died since the pandemic began. The Death Toll is twice as high as it was six months ago a sign the Mortality Rate is accelerating. Brazilians are increasingly angry about the that I Ware President has handled their outbreak. Stefano pozzebon has more.
