5 states where the coronavirus delta variant is spreading
By Justine Coleman - 07/02/21 06:10 PM EDT

The highly transmissible delta variant has been officially confirmed in all 50 states as of this week, and health officials nationwide are raising alarms about localized coronavirus outbreaks as the Fourth of July weekend arrives.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates the strain makes up about a quarter of U.S. cases, with top infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci calling it the “greatest threat” to getting rid of COVID-19.

Amid the variant’s spread, the country recorded a 10 percent increase in its seven-day average this week, although the average is 95 percent lower than the U.S.’s early January peak, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a Thursday briefing. 

Administration officials have warned that unvaccinated people, including young people and children, are most at risk to contract the delta strain and experience serious illness, as the vaccine remains effective against the currently circulating variants.

Former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Friday that most parts of the county are "relatively safe" with high vaccination rates, although other areas "should exercise more caution."

Didn't read it, but I doubt The Hill mentioned the Delta Variant is only 10% as efficacious as the original strain.

Last time I checked we're all going to die from something and that IS a fact.

Yeah.... sniffles and a headache.  An average day during alergy season.

Here is what pisses me of.  So this morning I woke up with a runny nose a slight headache and a scratchy throat.  The 1st damn thing that came to mind was....  I GOT the Indian 'rona! Any other pre panic rona years  I would know it was a summer cold or allergies from all the grass pollen kicked up from all my Pleasant Valley sunday neighbors here in status symbol land mowing for the holiday weekend. 

Anyway, I took a few hits of Bayer and 2 squirts of nasal spray a hot shower and I am fine.

If one reads well into the article, one learns the 5 states are Missouri, Arkansas, Nevada, Colorado, and Utah (i.e., not Progs' bogey-states of Texas, Florida, and the Dakotas). So how are these 5 states doing:

Missouri - Currently experiencing a small bump that has not yet peaked; nowhere near the scale of the state's year-end surge;

Arkansas - Currently experiencing a small bump that has not yet peaked; nowhere near the scale of the state's year-end surge;

Nevada - Currently experiencing a small bump that has not yet peaked; nowhere near the scale of the state's year-end surge;

Colorado - After a Spring Break bump, new cases continue to decrease; maybe the Delta variant in the majority of the new cases, but new cases are falling, not increasing;

Utah - Currently experiencing a small bump; it appears to be too early to see if it has peaked peaked; nowhere near the scale of the state's year-end surge.

Unsurprisingly, The SHill is mountainizing anthills. Meanwhile, new cases in bogey-states Texas and Florida are flat, and in the Dakotas decreasing and possibly having days with zero new cases. Source, the respective states' pages at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ .

Ya, allergies are a pain this time of year, and I recommend taking a probiotic and a multi-vitamin for awhile too.
