"We are dealing with a different virus now."
That's what Dr. Anthony Fauci, White House chief medical advisor, told NPR Tuesday about the Covid delta variant.
"This is not the original virus that we were dealing with. This has different capabilities much more efficient in transmitting from person to person," he said, explaining why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's changed its mask guidelines.
Fauci said the CDC reversed its mask guidance on Tuesday recommending that fully vaccinated people go back to wearing masks indoors in places where there are high transmission rates because delta is now the dominant strain in the U.S. In May, when the CDC announced that fully vaccinated people could ditch their masks, the more transmissible delta variant only represented about 1-2% of infections in the U.S.

(5,204 posts)A friend of my sisters got Covid a couple weeks ago, was feeling so sick called doctor twice, then went to a concert that weekend, and on a plane domestically the following week to party at a college! Everyone traveling with her got Covid while there, got back on the flight and came home the other day....these were anti vax Covid hoaxers...they are reckless psychos.
I barely go anywhere knowing these jerks live in my area, and I won't go into a public building, because they are not the only ones who could careless about others.
