"It’s more dangerous and more contagious than the current dominant variant, Dr. Rodney Young with Texas Tech Physicians explained Wednesday." "“It appears to be something like 60% more transmissible than the UK variant we were talking about, which was already more transmissible than the original COVID variant,” Dr. Young said." Basically the cases began to rise higher and higher at the end of June. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/30/health/covid-cdc-delta-masks.html "C.D.C. Internal Report Calls Delta Variant as Contagious as Chickenpox" Influenza has an R0 value of 1 generally and the initial variant in North America was claimed to have an R0 of 3 while Chicken Pox has an R0 of 10 to 12 The Delta variant showed up in the UK at the end of May and cases rocketed up until July 21st and then have been collapsing.

I work as a paramedic in the DFW Metroplex... I understand this is anecdotal but I think it's safe to say the CDC numbers for hospital admissions are bullshit.
COVID "cases" are definitely up here, we have been running more and more each day after it was almost non existent for months. I ask every COVID patient I have if they have been vaccinated and so far my tally is 80% are fully vaccinated. I spoke with some nurses at a local hospital working on the COVID floor, they say it's the same up there, "the vast majority that are admitted have been vaccinated." Every one I have treated is mildly sick with flu-like symptoms and don't even need an ambulance, much less a hospital.
It's a clown world we are living in
