Coronavirus: Where is the next COVID outbreak? – Deseret News

The novel coronavirus hasnt gone away just yet. In fact, its still very much out there. So much that experts have figured out how the spread will continue in the United States dense outbreaks.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, recently said on CBS News Face the Nation that the U.S. is primed for dense outbreaks to hit regions of the country.

Gottlieb said low vaccination rates and low immunity from previous infections might be a recipe for a large outbreak of a new variant.

Experts remain concerned about the spread of the dangerous delta coronavirus variant, which could dominate the United States pretty soon, as I wrote for the Deseret News. Theres concern that delta variant cases are on the rise, outpacing the alpha variant, which was originally discovered in the United Kingdom.

Vivek Cherian, an internal medicine physician in Baltimore, told Insider that the vaccinated are protected against the variants, for the most part. But the unvaccinated could be hit hard with the variant, causing more variants to be born.
