Coronavirus Conversations: The delta variant surge and what’s next for the pandemic
A man, wearing a face mask to protect against the spread of coronavirus, pauses as people walk along a street in downtown Barcelona, Spain. The need to speed up vaccine rollouts has become more urgent as the COVID-19 delta variant spreads quickly.
The highly infectious COVID-19 delta variant is leaving a devastating wake around the globe. The surge of infections raises a lot of questions and has sparked concern among public health officials. As part of The World’s regular series of conversation presented with The Forum at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and as a special in our podcast feed, editor Carolyn Beeler moderated a discussion about the delta variant and what’s next for the pandemic with epidemiologist William Hanage.
