Sure that wasn’t the Babylon Bee? Facebook is now censoring WHO?
Yeah - more info here. An anti vaxxer county commissioner immediately went to get the vaccine after getting the briefing of this outbreak.A coronavirus outbreak hit a Florida government building. Two people are dead but a vaccinated employee wasn't infected | CNN
Two people are dead and four of their coworkers were hospitalized after a Covid-19 outbreak swept through a government building in Manatee County, Florida.www.cnn.com
0.610M shots yesterday so total up to 318.5M with the 7 day rolling average at 1.04M. 84% of shots administered is the national average, 53.4% of population with 1+ dose (68.8% of the adult population), 45.2% of population fully vaccinated.0.85M shots yesterday so total up to 317.9M with the 7 day rolling average at 1.24M. 84% of shots administered is the national average, 53.3% of population with 1+ dose (68.7% of the adult population), 45.1% of population fully vaccinated.
So far, 177 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine. At least 150 million people have completed a vaccination regimen.
4,422 positives reported yesterday compared to 9,134 week over week. 7-day rolling average is at 11,158.
Fatality was 86 compared to 170 yesterday and 155 week over week, 7-day rolling fatality at 291.
Hospitalizations reported 7 day rolling average is 12,879 compared to one week ago 15,042 down 14.4%.
Hospital admissions reported 7 day rolling average is 1,878 compared to one week ago 2,121 down 11.4%.
Continued constant decline in all metrics. Fatality at 86 is obviously due to many states not reporting on Sunday but still first time under 100 nationally. Realistic to think now that being under 10,000 cases per day on the 7 day average for daily positives is actually achievable by end of June. As is under 250 daily fatality on the 7 day.
It is amazing how quickly these variants spread. Even in times of restricted travel, economic shutdowns, mask wearing, and other severe restrictions every variant quickly becomes the dominant strain or nearly so. It seems like less than a month they have crossed the globe.“A coronavirus variant first spotted in India is poised to become the dominant one in the United States, where infectious disease modelers say it could cause a "resurgence" of Covid-19 later this year.
And it may already account for 1 in every 5 infections nationwide, experts say.
The Delta variant, as it's now called, has swept across the UK, all but replacing the Alpha variant first identified there late last year.
"This is the most transmissible of all the variants that we've seen," Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, told CNN's Ana Cabrera Monday.”

We’re dead.

There must be some undocumented way of transmission. about the only way is the upper atmosphere. Could they be sucked up by storms and spread? Just ten years ago it was discovered that there are bacteria alive in the upper atmosphere. Could these viruses piggy back on these bacteria?
About the only other way I can think of such a rapid global spread would be bird migration. But even that is limited by seasons and distance which these viruses seem to ignore.
What say you?

The Peter Hotez guy they quote is a whack job ideologue. Extremely political to the point that you CANNOT take him seriously as a doctor. He is now CNN's goto guy when it comes to fear porn and talking points.
"This is the most transmissible of all the variants that we've seen,
Fear porn remains strong.
I wish I had known that before ordering six cases of vinegar from Amazon. 😞
i have bad news for you Bob, Delta variant is about unstoppable. Most transmittable variant ever scene in the last 1000 years. Basements, garlic, vinegar are all worthless. Six feet is not enough, neither is a cloth mask. Will now require 12' of social distancing and the mask will have to be a large ziplock bag around your entire head completely sealed so you better learn how to hold your breath for several minutes.

My best guesses. It has to do with the long incubation period. You can be infected and pass a test early on before you ever know you actually have the virus. This would allow you to travel and be social AKA spread the virus before you even know.
As for the atmosphere idea, I don't think so because my understanding is UV light kills the virus so I'm not entirely sure how it could survive in the atmosphere.
Looks like the CDC isn't going to pause child vaccinations. In a hypocritical 180 from how quickly they shut down J&J for 6 adverse events, they're completely downplaying heart issues in kids and basically saying it's no big deal, despite a much higher rate of issues.

CDC safety group says there’s a likely link between rare heart inflammation in young people after Covid shot
- There have been more than 1,200 cases of a myocarditis or pericarditis mostly in people 30 and under who received Pfizer’s or Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine, according to CDC data.
- Roughly 300 million of the shots had been administered as of June 11, the agency said.
- For both vaccines combined, there were 12.6 heart inflammation cases per million doses.

And now you know why the propagandists running Facebook were suddenly censoring the WHO. I don't think people fully appreciate the groups forcing the current administration's stances.
I due think that Mark Zuckerberg is the devil. He is a very evil person.
remains to be seen what is more dangerous for a teenager or less; covid or the Vax.And the only 2 doctors so far who have raised a concern on this ACIP call both had their opinions dismissed as being no big deal
I think he has power and influence and massive ego. what he lacks is experience and insight. This is a very dangerous combination. These people that censored accredited people who voiced a different opinion have blood on their hands. Is it criminal negligence? IDK but I can certainly understand someone who might make that claim.I due think that Mark Zuckerberg is the devil. He is a very evil person.

In the USA, about 400 total COVID deaths age 17 and less according to the CDC's stats. this does not account for comorbidities. I am willing to bet that a substantial number of these deaths occurred because they were compromised in some fashion (sickle cell, downs, cancer...etc.).

Actually I said that on here 3 moths ago when vaccines were still short and many on here roundly criticized me.Sure. I figured that was assumed at this point.
They should have gone with something like "Delta Extreme". Or "Double Delta". 'Delta Plus' sounds too positive to spread fear.Well that didn't take long. Cases plummeting in India, so they had to come up with more fear porn there.
Or an airlines miles program?They should have gone with something like "Delta Extreme". Or "Double Delta". 'Delta Plus' sounds too positive to spread fear.
I'd say it's as good of a theory as anything else. I've kind of figured if the variants change enough, that this is how you can get covid twice. It's been pretty rare from my understanding, but this is likely how it happens.maybe this is a crazy theory but we know some people have shown cross immunity with antibodies due to exposure to some type of similar virus in the past. There are some valid empirical evidence this could be as high as 20-25% of the population. We also know the virus will flare up in a location extremely quick for 4-8 weeks and then go right back down just as fast. Wonder if the variants basically are just enough different that essentially those people that have cross immunity due one strain do not have that same cross immunity to a different variant. So essentially the strains/variants go through the population infecting those that have no cross immunity and then the next strain comes along and just is different enough that some portion of of that 20-25% no longer has that cross immunity and gets infected.

I'm not a doctor, but I read that myocarditis most of the time gets better on its own over time. If that's the case, then I'm not sure what the huge concern is. I'd love to see the data on long term issues from the vaccines such as myocarditis or blood clots, but I'm guessing the reality is there is going to be a very very tiny sliver of % who suffer from such long term issues (or death) which would make it safer than a natural infection which also can bring on long term issues (or death).
