As the mask mandate begins to be lifted across the United States of America, a different variant of COVID-19 makes its way through the entire population.  What does the new or delta variant of COVID-19 entail?  What is different about the delta variant?  Why is transmission increased with the delta variant?

A recent news interview with Dr. Fauci on MSNBC Morning Joe gives an update on the changing virus and mask mandates.  The update is worth watching:

There are two main take-away points from the video above:

1) More viral particles are found in vaccinated people (nasal pharonyx)

2) Possible development of new variant that is resistant to current vaccines

The first take-away point increases the rate of transmission among vaccinated people to non-vaccinated people.  The second applies to the simple fact that if a virus has a sufficient amount of time to replicate, a variant will arise which will be resistant to every vaccine available.  That could be dangerous.  For this reason alone, everybody should be willing to get vaccinated.  Go get vaccinated today.
