Delta seems more dangerous than other COVID-19 variants, contagious as chicken pox, reports say
Fox News
An internal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document obtained by several news outlets warns that the COVID-19 Delta variant could be more likely to produce severe illness and can spread as fast as chickenpox.
The CDC did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News. The information in the document reportedly played a role in the new mask guidelines announced earlier this week. The Biden administration has been more assertive in recent days to compel Americans to sign up for a vaccine due to the emergence of variants. Admiral Brett Giroir, the former assistant health secretary under President Trump, told Fox News’ "America Reports" on Thursday that the variant is so contagious that it is "just a matter of time" before everyone who is not vaccinated and hasn’t had COVID-19 comes down with the infection.More Related News
