[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A majority of U.S. adults are concerned about the delta coronavirus variant but have not significantly changed their behavior because of it, according to the Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index.

The poll shows 84 percent of Americans have at least heard of the delta variant but only 1 in 10 being very familiar with the variant that has led to a global spike in cases.

Overall, 72 percent of U.S. adults are concerned about the variant, with 36 percent extremely concerned and 36 percent somewhat concerned.

The delta variant has increased cases around the world, with some countries putting new coronavirus restrictions in response.

So we have a sizable ignorant minority who will help spread the variant.

1. I want to see the questions.

How can 7 out of 10 be extremely/somewhat concerned but only 1 in 10 be very familiar. How can you be concerned about something you don’t know anything about?

2. I have not significantly changed my behavior

because I never relaxed my behavior.

3. I'm with you 100%.

The delta variant is infecting younger people, and is making them sick enough to be hospitalized. Even some who've been vaccinated are getting it, and dying from it's complications. I have two conditions that exacerbate the virus's lethality, and I have two grandchildren who aren't old enough to be vaccinated.

Some might scoff at that, but I'm taking no chances. It simply is not worth it, just to go into a crowded store etc. without wearing a mask.
