Delta is now the dominant variant in the US of the virus that causes COVID-19. It is more transmissible than earlier variants and has led to an increase in cases nationwide. Los Angeles and Las Vegas have responded with indoor mask mandates, even for those who have been vaccinated. New York City Council Health Committee chairman Mark Levine says New York City should follow their lead.
Public health officials should disregard these exhortations and calls for even more restrictive measures. Delta is not the existential threat that the media is making it out to be.

I'm getting sick of pandemic panic. After watching what Biteme has done in six months, I really don't care if I die of COVID. It might beat starving to death or having to eat my pets.

Rest assured Biden and Media will keep the panic alive for the 2022 elections since the Presidential scam worked so well. Look for mail in ballots galore.

FTA: 'Joel Zinberg, MD, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, worked for 30 years at Mt. Sinai Hospital and was senior economist and general counsel at the White House Council of Economic Advisers.' This is hardly the resume of a top expert in epidemiology, virology, cellular biology, or infectious diseases. It reminds me of the career of witch doctor Fauxi...a politician/adviser.

Keep hearing the media with their scare tactics. That you can get Delta even if fully vaccinated.
So I looked it up the numbers.
Delta overall has a lower death rate than the original virus. That yes, case are going up. But deaths are not.
And of all the hospitalizations, 95% are those who are not vaccinated. And of those who died (again, which are not going up), 99.5% are those who are not vaccinated.

Could it be the "Delta Variant" is better known as the common cold?

Kind of early for this Delta variant BS hysteria, isn't it? The 2022 mid-terms are 16 months away.

I haven't been paniced at all. I have known for more than a decade that history shows that viruses mutate to become LESS lethal, demonstrated time and time again in history.

Please keep in mind that the same methods to troll for positive tests for the original Coronavirus are still in use. A positive test result does NOT mean you have Covid-19. It simply means that somewhere in your DNA the test has picked up remnants of A coronavirus, not THE coronavirus. Past colds and flu will show up as a positive result on a PCR test, if it is run at a higher cycle. This is very, very important to remember as the media, the government and the medical community ramp up the hysteria…again.

An attenuated version of what is basically a mild flu except for those constitutionally at risk is NOT news.

LOst in all the hysteria is the very real and confirmable fact (via the CDC Website) total Covid cases (any variant) are down 97% from levels in January of this yera. That 25% uptick ib cases recoreded wasn't even a bad rounding error just 7 months ago.
If there were 1000 cases in January and it had declined to 30 in July ( a 97% decrease) and suddenly jumped to 37 cases in August (a 25% increase) does that mean we should once again shut dwn our economy and lock down the population again? SHould we panic that the end is near and turn our freedom over to the elites in Washington?
Well, that is exactly what the left is trying to do make us think right now.

How many deaths from this version of the Wuhan virus? Deaths in my county of 600K+ are running about 1 or 2 a week, and I bet that is mostly elderly 'died with' rather than died of. Being kinda elderly myself....that's not quite as reassuring as it would be if I was 60 or younger.

No such thing as covid panic.
Jab and Mask the relaxed illegals.
Until the border is closed their words continue to mean nothing.
Elites are a joke. They know we know they are huffing and puffing their last breath.
Still waiting to see the marxist social workers fighting crime.
