BREAKING: @CBSNews confirms the CDC will announce this afternoon that fully vaccinated Americans should return to wearing masks in indoor public settings due to the spread of the #DeltaVariant #ugh

#DeltaVariant surging in U.S. New data show Delta much more contagious than previous versions of #COVID19. Unvaccinated people: get vaccinated & mask until you do. Everyone in areas of substantial/high transmission should wear a mask, even if vaccinated. https://t.co/tt49zOEC8N

More detail: The game-changer was data officials reviewed yesterday showing that vaxxed ppl infected with delta have the same viral load as unvaxxed. Vaccinated are still far less likely to get seriously sick, but the data suggests they can transmit delta. https://t.co/gnPIRAEuof

The vaccinated are currently paying a price for the unvaccinated. #covid19 is surging again, with spillover to the vaccinated. Masks are coming back, because the honor system isn’t working. And our unvaccinated children & immunocompromised are at high risk from the Delta variant. pic.twitter.com/Q22449ZBDK

Today’s announcement makes clear that the most important protection we have against the Delta variant is the vaccine. Although most U.S. adults are vaccinated, too many are not and that has to change.

Democrats don't care about the Delta variant: they're flying illegal aliens from the border to towns across America without any medical attention!

Democrats don't have principles, they have tactics.

Here's the truth.

Delta is different. More contagious.

Breakthrough cases are rare. But they can happen.

Vaccinated ppl represent a VERY SMALL amount of transmission in US.

VAST MAJORITY of spread is in & through unvaxed

Most hospitalization & death is among the unvaxed.

A few facts:
1) The average delta variant positive person infects 6 people (compared to less than 3 with the original variant)
2) Almost all of the ill pneumonia patients we are seeing are unvaccinated (yes vaccinated people can get it but mostly with milder symptoms)

To prevent further spread of the Delta variant, the CDC updated its mask guidance to recommend fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors when in areas with "substantial" and "high" transmission of Covid-19, which includes nearly two-thirds of US counties. https://t.co/tFUtmbZi3Y
