Event 4: Concern over Coronavirus Delta Variant
top retweets:
I am surprised, dismayed, and worried by how many people are saying no to these life-saving vaccines - especially with a very dangerous variant spreading. There are many reasons for this reluctance, but the virus doesn’t give a damn. It will exploit weakness.

“NO MORE THAN MERE SECONDS” of exposure in 10-60 centimeters where one man triggers several #DeltaVariant infections with brief “fleeting” contact. Thousands of shoppers at NSW🇦🇺 mass tested. Delta called “near & present danger”.

Good news: People who are fully vaccinated, at least with the mRNA vaccines, are likely well-protected against the variants identified so far, including the Delta variant — particularly when it comes to severe illness. We must vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible

It’s coming—#DeltaVariant is now >96% dominant in 3 major counties (UK, Russia, Portugal). It is surging exponentially in the US at now 31% of all cases, up from ~10% just a week ago. The #COVID19 rise & divergence hidden by fast dropping #AlphaVariant. 🧵https://t.co/oQkVY8CFoj pic.twitter.com/psS4j1CVk4

Only 36% of people in Greene County, MO are partially vaccinated. A hospital CEO tells me they're seeing a six-fold increase in covid cases, patients are younger/sicker, the Delta variant is rampant and vaccine hesitancy is highest among rural, white, and evangelical patients: pic.twitter.com/vX7noFVP2U

This pandemic is not over. The Delta Variant is dangerous. Please get vaccinated. Please ask your friends and family to get vaccinated. We have a short window to save thousands of lives.

Do you think republicans will start pushing for vaccines when they realize how many voters they stand to lose to the Delta variant in red states?

Delta Airlines: Can we find another term besides the “delta variant” please?

Corona Beer: Oh fuck you.
3) Like geez, we know #DeltaVariant is basically the fastest transmitting variant to date. But this kind of “fleeting contact” infection is all the more reason for masks and improved ventilation and air disinfection. https://t.co/C8Cwqe10e3

9) I think it’s safe to say #DeltaVariant is now the greatest threat of #COVID19 pandemic in 2021. It is by far the fastest variant known to date. The data complied from 64 countries by @WHO don’t lie. #B16172 is a clear and present danger to the world. https://t.co/fdheuYxBjo
