The new Delta variant can be transmitted through “fleeting contact” or as rapidly as an infected person merely passing by, a doctor who is part of the government’s advisory group on COVID-19 response warned. READ:

“And ito ‘yong pinaka-nakakabahala, ‘yong usual na sinasabi natin na close contact na 15 minutes or more with less than one meter, it seems that this virus is capable of fleeting contact lang. In other words, magdaan lang kayo, tapos hindi ka naka-mask or pangit ‘yong paggamit mo ng mask at face shield, pwede ka nang mahawa dahil ang dami-dami pong virus na ibinubuga ng taong may Delta ,” he added.

Salvana was referring to a study in China — where the COVID-19 pandemic started — which showed that patients carrying the Delta variant have a thousand times more virus particles than the original variant. “And this is also something that came out from the Center for Disease Control na nakita nila na in the past, we know that the people who are vaccinated who end up with breakthrough infections are a lot less contagious than people who are not vaccinated,” Salvana said.

WHERE IS THE STUDY!!

So what happens when the delta plus, max, ultra comes out

It's been reported that it's as prolific as chicken pox was...

To doctor of this information - after this information can you share what we need to do to prevent this concern.. 'doc' 😊

See the interview Montell Williams gave in his contracting COVID in a lab when getting tested before a vacation.

Let us see that “study”. Give us the data. Give us the science.

That is not scientifically proven. Being a part of the government advisory group on covid doesn't give credebility to the claim.

mas cancer yun mga senators natin. inuuna pangangampanya

And there is no mass testing…because? What

So paano yung naga-attend sa mga 'may Delta' virus na dito sa bansa? Paano yung naga-alaga sa kanila?

I think the more important question for the government’s advisory group is why did you let delta get in the country in the first place?

Non sense, no science!

kat0nice for unvaccinated or vaccinated ?

Mahahawa kahit naka face mask & shield? Baka namn yung findings na mabilis makahawa kasi walang mask yung mga tao. I think this study was taken in other countries.
