You're looking so closely at the elephant you can't see that it's about to sit on you. Ignore that at your peril, and everyone around you who is vulnerable.
"Delta variant is one of the most infectious respiratory diseases known
The delta Covid variant is one of the most infectious respiratory diseases seen by experts.
Currently, the more infectious strain makes up more than 83% of sequenced cases in the U.S.
97% of people admitted to hospitals with Covid symptoms are unvaccinated."
I always wondered why it didn't mutate much more often. Like we wouldn't be on Delta, we'd have seen many more variants.
There were lots of variants, most of them not particularly transmissible or deadly. They only gave names like 'Delta' to "variants of concern' - the ones that were more of a threat.
The delta variant started spreading very quickly after the vaccines
Those were the variants of concern. The first variants showed up earlier. They were feeble and didn't get any press. Viruses mutate constantly. That's why the flu vaccine is different every year.
I get my info from the nurses I know. They themselves, the people they trained with, former colleagues who have moved on - all together they make up a nation-wide network. There's never been a time in the last year that some part of that network hasn't been slammed.

Do you mean the areas where vaccine uptake is low?
