By most measures it is another scare story to keep the people afraid and under their control.

All those people who got vaccinated, and were high-fiving each other on social media, guess it was all for nothing.

It seems more contaigious but the UK where it is predominate shows 15K to 20K daily positives but fatalities are 25 or fewer a day. And these numbers have been going on three weeks so fstalities should be showing marked increase if delta is deadlier.

At least it only affecting unvaccinated. That’s a blessing since half the country is only affected.

The UK is one of the few countries where PCR testing is widespread and the results usually include details of the specific variant. As such the data is very granular.

But as you point out infections are up, hospitalisations are up (a little), but deaths of way, way down. In fact COVID “was the 24th leading cause of death in May 2021 in England” [source https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/monthlymortalityanalysisenglandandwales/may2021].

“...How ya’ll grappling today?...”

Well, I’ve come down with my annual hay fever with a slight sore throat from the nasal drip. Guess these deceiving jackasses would classify it as a Delta strain case...LOL.
They, just like the FIB, have lost ALL credibility....nobody cares or believes anything they say these days. Professional liars...ALL of em.
I’m in my 7th day with it, but just as in past years, I’m starting to feel a little better and the worst is over so I’m “grappling” pretty well with it....I’ll survive.
