That variant, which emerged in India sometime this spring and recently became dominant in the U.K., slowing reopening there, is “the greatest threat in the U.S. to our attempt to eliminate COVID-19,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top pandemic adviser to President Biden, said during Tuesday’s meeting of the White House pandemic response team. The strain is believed to be 60 percent more transmissible than the original version of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. Unvaccinated people are susceptible, but so are those who have received only the first of two vaccine doses.
Fully vaccinated people are about as protected from the Delta variant as they are from other versions of the virus.

Fall is around the corner. Gotta get the fear stoked since it will be flu season again and they will insist on another lockdown. Methinks this time..it won't be as easy as last time. Folks are fed up.
