The dangerous Delta variant of the coronavirus is spreading so quickly in the United States that it's likely the mutant strain will become predominant in the U.S. within weeks, according to a new analysis.
The variant, first identified in India, is the most contagious yet and, among those not yet vaccinated, may trigger serious illness in more people than other variants do, say scientists tracking the spread of infection.
The Delta variant apparently already accounts for at least 14% of all new infections, according to the research analysis posted online Monday of more than 242,000 infections nationwide over the last six months.

You damn right know chip the delta variant is going to split our country. You're going to see the variant spread in the southern states and cause flare ups. Which God forbid if the delta variant mutates here to somewhere worse. It will be our neighbors faults. Even if the delta variant wreaks havoc on the south they won't lock down, they don't bring masks back and they won't get vaccinated. The progress we've made in this country if not careful will cause us to shoot ourselves in the foot.
