Supposed to be Delta.

Israel has better data and they used pfizer vaccine where the Uk used Novavax.

The death rate is really low so far with the Delta variant....cases up but less harmful.

Delta IS causing many more younger people to DIE. That IS on ALL the TV channels. So, Delta is now the major variant in the US. Therefore, because of more younger people in hospitals, it is causing more grief and problems to US society - younger people with long haul problems. Therefore Delta is MORE dangerous than the prior variant. Think also of the hospital costs due to the Delta variant and the costs of hospital staff being overworked. There are direct costs AND INDIRECT costs!
