What you need to know about the highly contagious delta variant

[Bouncing Bill]

The highly transmissible coronavirus variant called delta is present in all 50 states and is already dominant in many parts of the United States.

Modeling shows the variant now accounts for 51.7 percent of all new infections in this country, five times the prevalence four weeks earlier, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the week ending July 3.

“Although we expected the delta variant to become the dominant strain in the United States, this rapid rise is troubling,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Thursday during a White House news briefing.

In some parts of the country, she said, delta is even more widespread. For example, in parts of the Midwest and upper mountain states, including in Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, the CDC’s sequencing of infections suggests the new variant may account for about 80 percent of cases.

The good news, Walensky said, is all three coronavirus vaccines authorized in the United States offer strong protection against severe disease and death from covid-19. Preliminary data from several states over the past several months suggests that 99.5 percent of covid-19-related deaths occurred among unvaccinated people, she said.

Their saying "The past several months" could mean anything from two months back to the months all the way back to "pre-pandemic" months where the alleged virus was present but not known. Anything our government puts as "gospel" is to be questioned. The CDC and the WHO have posted to many reports that contradict each other, and even participants of the government that speak concerning the virus contradict each other. This is unacceptable, and the people of this country have the right to, and SHOULD question everything that's being said. Bouncing Bill, I know that you worship all things government, but give it a rest! People here are not about to swallow the government Kool-Aid!
