July 14, 2021: -People who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are still getting infected with the delta variant. Still, global health officials said the shots had protected most people from getting severely sick or dying. “Reports are coming in that vaccinated populations have cases of infection, particularly with the delta variant,” Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, the chief scientist of WHO, said at a press briefing on Monday. “The majority of these are mild or asymptomatic infections.”
However, hospitalizations are increasing in some parts of the world, primarily where vaccination rates are less, and the contagious delta variant is spreading, she said.
In the U.S., officials have said all recent Covid hospitalizations and deaths were occurring among unvaccinated people. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, breakthrough infections are rare. About 75% of the people who die or are hospitalized with Covid after vaccination are over 65.
“The delta variant is ripping all over the world at a scorching pace, driving a new spike in cases and death. Not everywhere takes the same hit, though,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
“We are amid a growing two-track pandemic where the haves and have-nots within and between countries are divergent in places with high vaccination coverage.”
The variant is spreading and infecting unprotected and vulnerable people, he said.
Swaminathan warned that vaccinated people can still get Covid and pass it on to others. The reason behind WHO officials have been urge people to continue wearing masks and practice social distancing. “But certainly, it reduces your chances of severe hospitalization and death significantly,” she further said.
Few studies have proven that those infected with Covid after vaccination produce much less virus than those who are not vaccinated, reducing the risk of passing the virus to others; WHO officials said that studies are needed to understand the impact of the vaccine on transmissibility.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
