TAMPA, Fla. - The delta strain of COVID-19 is putting healthcare workers to the test, Florida infectious disease experts explain why the mutation is a game-changer in the pandemic.
"It's about six times more infectious than the original strain, making it and put it at a level of infectivity now and pretty much the same as whooping cough or smallpox. And smallpox is like a highly, highly infectious virus," said Dr. Thomas Unnasch, an epidemiologist with USF Health.

The sure giveaway that this guy is another medical disinformation parrot.
I wonder if we should all stay home for 2 weeks while the hospitals prepare?
I think that’s one of the worst headlines I have seen.
Is this guy even educated?
There must be bodies everywhere.
And smallpox is like a highly, highly infectious virus,” said Dr. Thomas Unnasch, an epidemiologist with USF Health.
Well so is the common cold. Delta is not smallpox neither is it a common cold. Scaremongers not welcome here.
Fox news just interviewed admiral brett giroir who said if you haven’t had covid or the jab there is NO DOUBT 100% you will get the delta variant at some point.
What a giant liar this guy is.
It’s nothing like smallpox.
AFAIK vaccination among a population does not prevent mutations.
A few weeks ago the symptoms of the Delta “virus” were said to be the same as for hay fever.
Many people may die WITH hay fever, but hardly anyone will die FROM hay fever.
You’re actually quoting Giroir as a truth teller?
Funny how it is more the “vaxxed” reportedly coming down with it.
On the positive side, once you get COVID you are immune.
[[And that’s very different from what happens in unvaccinated people where it stays high for days or even weeks,” said Iovine. “And because of that, that’s why unvaccinated people are getting really sick and they go to the hospital and dying.”]]
No mention anywhere in the article about how many are dying or surviving. But we are to beleive it is as bad as small pox
“as long as there are unvaccinated people, the virus will continue to mutate.”
Others would argue that the virus mutates because people are vaccinated.
When covid first became scary, Biden told the nation he had a plan and could stop it in its tracks. This was before he was president and wanted badly to become president.
Now he is president and things seem to be heading in the wrong direction. He must act and get results quickly. No excuses.
Reality check...we all will get the Delta variant at some point. The only real question is how severe your case will be.
This doesn’t square with the CDC announcement nor with Israel, England, Ireland, or Germany.
