The Delta COVID-19 variant appears to cause more severe illness and spread as easily as chickenpox — which made it time to “acknowledge the war has changed” and alter recommendations on wearing masks, according to a report of internal federal documents.
The alarm about the variant — now the most dominant one in the US — was raised in an internal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention slide presentation obtained by The Washington Post.
The information — expected to be officially released Friday — was behind the CDC’s controversial decision to change its recommendations for vaccinated people, including encouraging them to wear masks indoors in areas with low vaccination rates.
The Delta variant, first found in India, was already raising serious concerns amid reports it was far more contagious and dangerous than other strains. But the latest research necessitated drastic action, the CDC documents claim.
“I finished reading it significantly more concerned than when I began,” Robert Wachter, chairman of the Department of Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco, told the DC paper.

You Washington know-it-alls: You don't know what is going to happen next.
Why don't you just admit it?
"Just give me 100 days!"
"Just give me two more weeks."
blah blah blah

But always, at the end of the day, you love to scare people while trying to inform them.
GET VACCINATED - and I'll give you a hundred bucks!
Bunch of bs.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
