The Delta variant causes more infections and spreads faster than early forms of SARS-CoV-2
The Delta variant is more contagious: The Delta variant is highly contagious, more than 2x as contagious as previous variants.
Some data suggest the Delta variant might cause more severe illness than previous strains in unvaccinated persons. In two different studies from Canada and Scotland, patients infected with the Delta variant were more likely to be hospitalized than patients infected with Alpha or the original virus strains.
Unvaccinated people remain the greatest concern: Although breakthrough infections happen much less often than infections in unvaccinated people, individuals infected with the Delta variant, including fully vaccinated people with symptomatic breakthrough infections, can transmit it to others. CDC is continuing to assess data on whether fully vaccinated people with asymptomatic breakthrough infections can transmit. However, the greatest risk of transmission is among unvaccinated people who are much more likely to contract, and therefore transmit the virus.
Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others. However, vaccinated people appear to be infectious for a shorter period: Previous variants typically produced less virus in the body of infected fully vaccinated people (breakthrough infections) than in unvaccinated people. In contrast, the Delta variant seems to produce the same high amount of virus in both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people. However, like other variants, the amount of virus produced by Delta breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people also goes down faster than infections in unvaccinated people. This means fully vaccinated people are likely infectious for less time than unvaccinated people.

All we know about science is that there is a lot more to learn about science.

Good thing you put the date in there, although you should specify the year, August 6, 2021, because it's info from the CDC, which is always suspect and has been known to change, drastically. Because, they care.
Delta Variant: What We Know About the Political Science
What we know about the CDC.
They lie.
That there is no mention of the immune status of those who had Covid and lived to tell the tale tells you all you need to know about the validity of this piece.
CDC... Less credibility than Joe Biden on a bad day.
“She blinded me with science... Science!!!”
“ those who had Covid and lived to tell the tale”
CDC separately publishes their estimate of the “Total Disease Burden” of COVID-19 - that is how many actual infections there have been, rather than just how many have been confirmed by test.
From the start of the spread, through the end of May 2021, they estimate that about 120 million natural infections occurred among Americans.
Some small number may be individuals who were infected more than once. Some unknown larger number of the previously infected are likely to also have been vaccinated, but it is really hard to tell how much those two sets overlap.
And of course, infections have really picked up this last six weeks. Likely 5-10 million more infections (possibly more) since the end of May.
CDC might as well quote a McDonald’s menu.
Where can I obtain tests for the Delta Variant?
This is a matter of life and death!
Given how this is rampaging through our nation there must be dozens of sites at which I can obtain Covid tests that determine the Delta Variant
Glad they're on it.
The lack of statically numbers and the word appear scream, manipulated science.
Science in its truest form using the 5 senses is not here. This is simply how to lie w statistics 101.
The cdc and science should be forbidden from use in the same paper together.
Science, even hard science like global warming is suspect. More like a lawyer whom we trust in claiming their defendant is innocent after watching a video and hearing eyewitness testimony of a hundred witness to the contrary.
What time of day on August 6? They might have changed their opinions an hour later.
“What we know about science”???
Well, we know that it is bought and paid for by our politicians with OUR tax dollars - to produce pre-determined results requested(cough, cough..) by said politicians…
