Leaked CDC report: Delta variant as contagious as chickenpox

As states battle a surge of the COVID-19 delta variant, an internal document from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been leaked that shows that the variant spreads from fully vaccinated people at the same rate as unvaccinated people.

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky confirmed the authenticity of the document, which is a slide presentation, CNN and The Washington Post reported.

The document states that officials must “acknowledge the war has changed,” the Post reported.

“I think people need to understand that we’re not crying wolf here. This is serious,” Walensky told CNN.

“It’s one of the most transmissible viruses we know about. Measles, chickenpox, this — they’re all up there,” Walensky added.

The New York Times reported that the document states the delta variant is more transmissible than MERS, SARS, Ebola, a common cold, seasonal flu and smallpox and is as contagious as chickenpox.

The leak comes as the CDC reversed course earlier this week and now, once again, recommends that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors in areas of the country where transmission is high, CNN reported.

The document shows that the agency knows it must get a new message out to the public that pushes vaccination as the best defense.

Officials say the delta variant is acting like a different novel virus that is moving faster than Ebola or even a cold, The Washington Post reported.

The document uses unpublished data and outside studies that officials say show that even vaccinated people are able to spread the virus as if they were unvaccinated and that they have similar delta variant viral loads as those who are not vaccinated, the Post reported.

Their mid-term numbers are SO BAD, that they bumped up the SCRIPT an ENTIRE MONTH.

If I’m not anemic, or have any comorbidities, is that a bad thing?

Oh, and I take vitamin K, selenium, and NAC, too. Along with a multi vitamin.

"The epsilon variant is next. But just wait until the chi variant comes out."

Actually, these are the known COVID variants to date:

alpha beta delta gamma epsilon eta iota kappa lambda

Theta and others are missing, whether this is because the variant was not 'of concern', or a particular naming convention I don't know.

Interesting that "Xi" is coming up, how pluperfect would that be.

Well, and there's the answer -- the WHO is using the Greek alphabet straight up to name the variants.

So in all likelihood we will get to the COVID strain of "Xi".

"Oh, and the Pi variant will be 3.14 times as contagious!"

Yes. The pi variant will be particularly bad. The gamma variant is only 0.57721566... as contagious, while the phi variant is 1.618033988... as contagious.

And after the omega version, we'll likely head into the Aleph Null set of variants, then the Aleph One set of variants, and then on into Aleph Two, the power set of variant sets. But before then the last black hole in the universe will have decayed, leaving the Demonicrat kakistocrats without much more to screw up.

The people behind this are not worried about Republicans a.t a.l.l.

Therfore, the outcome of the midterms is a matter of indifference to them.

The reason Trump was such a problem was he at least KNEW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.

Now, GOP wins, Dems win - the people in charge win either way.

I’m happy you and the Mrs seem to be well. I had all of the sxs you described in November 2019. It lasted for 3 weeks. IMHO I had COVID.

They went back to ivermectin

Nonsense.

All the delta surges all over the world have the same size and shape, whatever is done and however treated. 3-4 weeks, fast rise, fast drop.

Yes, I notice it after a flight or two of stairs but I am steadily improving. It has been one month since I came down with it.

Hi.

I got an idea. Since we live in a binary universe, may I suggest an alternative? We either lock down the entire United States, or we nuke China?

Best wishes for your continued improvement. This is the part that unnerves me because I have panic disorder and it would just fuel that. Oh well just gotta put my Trust in God.
