CNBC: Fauci says U.S. must vaccinate more people before Delta becomes dominant Covid variant in America
* U.S. health officials are scrambling to get more Americans vaccinated to keep the Covid variant Delta, first identified in India, from proliferating across the country.
* “In the U.K., the Delta variant is rapidly emerging as the dominant variant ... It is replacing the B.1.1.7,” Fauci said. “We cannot let that happen in the United States.”
* The Delta variant accounts for 60% of new cases in the U.K.
In the U.S., it is more than 6% of cases scientists have been able to sequence, but the actual number is likely higher. U.S. health officials are scrambling to get more Americans vaccinated to keep the Delta variant, first identified in India, from proliferating across the United States.
The variant has become the dominant strain in the U.K., accounting for an estimated 60% of new cases.
It’s now more prevalent than the Alpha strain, formerly called the B.1.1.7 strain, which was first identified in the U.K., and transmission is peaking in people between the ages of 12 and 20, White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said at a press briefing Tuesday.

Does Fauci think that anyone believes anything he says? After the email release, I am surprised that he still has a job. Biden needs to grow a pair of balls and fire Fauci and try to restore credibility to CDC.

I'm sure Delta Airlines is digging the new Greek alphabet adaptation....

I think, if the original virus is man made that new strains are purposefully being released.
People use terms like "highly conserved" for an organism or specific genes in it, where it does not change much at all. Usually there is some environmental pressure providing the motive force.
There would be variation in the surface proteins among different people obviously. Still there is a sweet sport or sweet ranger where the virus spike proteins can latch on. Too much variation and it will not. We are told all this virus does, is mutate. Why isn't it mutating itself out of existence?
