Sweden: 8 cases of a mutated E484Q Delta variant sampled in the Uppsala district. People traveled from Spain and Portugal.

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/uppsala/ny-deltavariant-sprids-i-uppsala-lan-inte-hort-att-man-sett-den-i-andra-delar-av-sverige (Swedish)

quote:

New Delta variant spread in Uppsala district: “In the rest of Sweden not heard of it yet”

Eight to nine people in Uppsala County who tested positive for Covid-19 are infected with a new Delta variant with an additional mutation. So far, researchers don’t know how contagious it is or whether it is more easily infected than vaccinated than other variants, but among those who are infected, they are fully vaccinated.

– Of course, we take all variants seriously, which means that the vaccine may not have the same protection, says Mats Martinell, who is responsible for sampling in the Uppsala area.

The new Delta variant is of concern and studies in a laboratory setting show that the variant would escape the vaccine more easily than other Delta variants.

From southern Spain and Portugal
Mats Martinell hasn't heard of this variant in other parts of Sweden, but it could be because the infection tracking department in the Uppsala area is working closely with the university hospital, where extensive mapping of the samples is underway to find new ones quickly recognizing variants.
The people infected with the new Delta variant were all in southern Spain and Portugal.

– We believe there is this Delta variant and so it is important to test yourself at home, says Mats Martinell.

Overall, he’s worried about the coming weeks.

– Now we are in a phase where there can be big outbreaks and super spreading events with parties and the like, so you have to be careful.

this morning the nurse at walmart asked us if we were getting our first shots together because of the delta wave that's coming, and i played off it it like 'yeah its going to be ridiculous.' she tried to compliment us by saying that if more people would do what we were doing then we could get this under control soon. without flinching i referenced the cdc's increasingly exponential, vertical looking graphs and then she admitted she doesnt really have hope anymore, actually.

after our booster we then picked up some box fans for the corsi boxes im building for my partner and their students so they may have less of a chance to die when they return to school in a few weeks.

If you can find one to match her dress you can convince her to wear an actual mask that works, and therefore not get infected at the salon

These rules are very similar to NYC's public school rules so will be super interested to watch their experience. Nice of them to start up a full month before schools here do. One minor difference last time I checked NYC's public school worker vaccination rate was only 60-70%. If these guys see crazy case numbers everyone will.

BTW what is it with American schools and these crazy early start dates right in the middle of summer? In Canada you weren't in school until mid-Sept. It's very strange.

They all do this, logistically I don't think they have a real alternative. Dealing with an actually serious airborne infectious disease properly is just too difficult so we have to pretend it doesn't exist when convenient.
