The Spread Of The Covid-19 Delta Variant Has Caused The Leveling Off In Covid Infections In The U.S.

 

RFI/AFP: US Covid cases hit new plateau as Delta variant rises 

After declining fast for two months, the rate of Covid infections in the United States has leveled off since mid-June thanks to localized spikes in under-vaccinated regions of the country, data showed Monday. 

It comes as the highly contagious Delta variant continues to gain traction, now accounting for 35.6 percent of sequenced cases in the past two weeks, according to the covSpectrum tracker. Authorities have said it is poised to soon become the country's dominant strain. 

The seven-day-average of new daily cases has hovered at around 11,500 since June 16, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or about 3.5 per 100,000 people.

More than one protein can latch onto the various points on a cell. Some do a better job and some a poorer one. Evolution and the process of elimination has already gotten rid of most of the poorer ways. There is not a lot if upside for the virus to get better.

I bet the 400,000 dollar huckster s not up on his p chem. Better to get a newer grad and let the quack retire to a breach front home about to be inundated by sea level rise due to global warming. Maybe the huckster can get a sea level home right next to The One.

Say it isn't so. A nasty cold virus is sweeping through the world. it has already killed .00057th of the world population. Mostly the significantly elderly. EXISTENTIAL! EXISTENTIAL! EXISTENTIAL! EXISTENTIAL! (imagine me running around in terror with two masks, goggles and a face shield yelling this).

Anyways, Yawn.
