The delta variant accounts for at least 93 percent of all sequenced coronavirus in the U.S., according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
For the two-week period ending July 31, all the different lineages of the delta variant made up about 93 percent of cases that were sequenced.
In some parts of the country with low vaccination rates, especially the Midwest region that includes Kansas, Iowa and Missouri, the percentages are even higher.

Gibraltar is nearly 100% vaccinated, yet their case count is exploding. There’s a similar dynamic in Iceland (which has had 2 deaths from covid this year. 2).There are people who are questioning if the virus is real. I’m starting to wonder if the vaccines are real. If they are real, do they work? Yeah, I know, nothing is 100%, but some of the numbers make you wonder if these do anything at all.
Sure looks like it.
Meanwhile, the history of immunization works against the current panic. Back in the 18th century, people observed that milk maids didn't get smallpox. Turns out, milk maids tended to be exposed to cow pox, which is very mild. This was hugely beneficial to the milk maids since their acquired immunity to cow pox also gave them a lot of immunity to smallpox. Edward Jenner used this sort of thinking to develop his smallpox vaccine.
The Delta variant is very contagious and very mild. This is hugely beneficial as we head toward herd immunity.
But The Powers That Be are panicking like never before over Delta. Makes no sense.
They don’t. The CDC is nothing but politicians with an interest in selling vaccines.
According to worldometers.info on January 16, 2021 (the peak day of deaths in the U.S. according to a 7-day moving average) there were 3493 deaths for 227,724 new cases (7-day moving average). On August 3, 2021 the numbers were 389 deaths for 91,026 new cases: 0.0153% vs. 0.004%

Follow up....How many of those cases are from folks that are already vaccinated?
On a side note, nephew is vaccinated. Has The ‘Rona. A case of the sniffles.
they never measured their patented virus in the first place.
they lied.
they never here did a sample. they lied.
they do not have the equipment to separate the
alleged variant of the alleged virus they patented.
they lie again.
they belong in prison for the murder of the makers
of HCG and then lying to get an EUA for THEIR ROYALTIES.
They take samples of the virus and gene sequence them, then extrapolate based on the findings.
They did a whole lot of extrapolatin’.....................
Estimates based on sample genome testing.

Since November 2020, CDC regularly receives SARS-CoV-2 samples from state health departments and other public health agencies for sequencing, further characterization, and evaluation. On January 25, 2021, the NS3 system was scaled-up to process 750 samples per week. Notable strengths of this system are the regular collection of numerous representative specimens from across the country and characterization of viruses beyond what sequencing alone can provide.
The Delta variant is very contagious, but there’s no sign that it’s more mild. The lower hospitalization rates across the population are because all the vaccinated people are better able to fight it. Among the unvaccinated, people are dying at the old rates, 1%-2%.
No, it’s statistically valid. If they’re off by a percent or two, what’s the difference. Most of the cases now are Delta variant, that’s what you need to know. It’s spreading very rapidly among the anti-vaccine crowd. Call a lawyer and sue Tucker Carlson for telling you not to get a jab when you get sick.

I think your math is wrong. It’s 1.53% death rate in Jan 0.4% now.
What about DEATHS? Why should we care that people get the sniffles?
“93% of the tests that were sequenced Which was how many nationwide?”
The NLM Coivd sequence database is currently getting about 20,000 submissions per day with 1 million total:

I presume that is the number the 93% comes from.
They can’t even tell covid from flu, how do they know people have the delta variant?
[[AN dhow can they get that SPECIFIC, 93%?......................]]
Brainstorming research which indicates that 93 sounds much worse than say 89
It appears very contagious among those who've had the experimental treatment. It also appears to have significant enough symptoms to then hospitalize many of those individuals.
