Renowned epidemiologist says the world 'is closer to the beginning than the end' of the pandemic and warns Indian 'Delta' variant is 'maybe the most contagious virus' ever
- Dr Larry Brilliant, part of the WHO team to eradicate smallpox, said the pandemic is not close to over because only 15% of the world has been vaccinated
- He added the Delta variant is the most contagious virus he's ever seen because it has a short incubation period and one person spreads it to eight others
- Brilliant said the UK had seen cases fall because the surge is an 'inverted V-shaped curve' with cases both going up and coming down quickly
- Some have predicted that the U.S., which is averaging 100,000 new cases per day, will follow the same trajectory and is just three to four weeks behind the UK
