Time to stand your ground. I call Bullshit on the Covid Variant. They want you in masks again. Don’t give this corrupt Government one inch!!!

Getting nervous—The #DeltaVariant is not only causing 58.7% surge in cases, but also 72% increase in #COVID19 deaths and 10% increase in 🏥 hospitalizations—just in 1 week. UK 🇬🇧 has been 96-100% #DeltaVariant now for 2 weeks, cases⬆️ for a month. Masks?🧵https://t.co/XNcIEj3wqK pic.twitter.com/KGTil3ubpR

This delta variant and future variants are exactly why we need greater collective immunity.https://t.co/Rl4fdkgRqm
About half of adults infected in an outbreak of the Delta variant of Covid-19 in Israel were fully inoculated with the Pfizer vaccine, prompting the government to reimpose an indoor mask requirement and other measures https://t.co/W2t5Ly0mdq

Watching Delta variant take off across world

What will it take to control it?
Vaccines & public health measures of course
Here in US, we're abandoning PH measures (masks, distancing)
So vaccines
How much?
My estimate: 60% of Americans fully vaccinated
We're at 46%

you call it a Trump rally, I call it a delta variant incubation epicenter

I feel America has forgotten we're still in the middle of a pandemic that has killed more than 600,000 people, and there's a deadly Delta Plus strain, and our kids are still not vaccinated. Sigh.
