As U.S. states lift more coronavirus restrictions, experts are worried people who aren't fully vaccinated could contribute to further spread of the virus. The Delta variant, first reported in India, currently accounts for nearly 10 per cent of coronavirus cases in the U.S., according to the CDC.

"I'm worried about those who are unvaccinated," U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy told CNN Tuesday, noting the Delta variant "is rapidly increasing here in the United States."given to strains of the virus that scientists believe are more transmissible or can cause more severe disease.

"The second reason it's concerning is that there is some data to indicate that it may in fact also be more dangerous, may cause more severe illness. That still needs to be understood more clearly, but these are two important concerns and they explain in part ... why this is become the dominant variant in the U.K., where over 90 per cent of cases are the Delta variant," Murthy said.

Murthy said there isn't enough data to indicate the effectiveness of Johnson & Johnson's one-dose vaccine in regards to the Delta variant, but the vaccine has shown it can help prevent hospitalizations and deaths when people are infected with other strains.As of Tuesday, 43.9 per cent of the total U.S. population was fully vaccinated while 52.6 per cent has received at least one dose of a vaccine, according to theThis comes on the heels of the U.S.

Restrictions were lifted across all commercial and social settings, including the requirements on social gatherings, capacity restrictions, social distancing, health screenings, cleaning and disinfection protocols, and contact tracing. Mask requirements will continue in pre-K settings, on public transit and in health care settings, Cuomo said.

When you see the comments practically cheering on variants and prolonged measures “you idiots just wait” It’s safe to assume that they have a deep sense of dissatisfaction with their own lives, only very bitter people could look around at great results and hope they turn bad

Stop this rhetoric.

Stop panicking people

Uhoh judging by the comments no one is buying this bullshit anymore. Maybe Canadians are waking up 🤞🏽🙌🏽👏🏽🚫 🦠

The never ending bullshit.

From the UN great reset propaganda file

One more shutting down may push this talented boy to higher level of production.

Keep the border closed for the time being.

Who’s the experts ? Names please ?😳🙈🙈🙈🇨🇦🙄……but interesting story …..go collect your subsidy money 💰 TrudeauMustGo

Blablabla get vaccinated and stop crying wolf. No vaccine it is your passport for hospitals.

I hope your ratings keep dropping. Time to DEFUND CTV.

Media getting desperate for ratings?

That will keep border closed

Sure. Like the Delta (India) variant whose symptoms include, headaches, sore throat, and runny nose. Sounds like a cold to me...better get your experimental vaccine.

Keep the border closed

So many thinks that the Covid is “over”. That’s so wrong, we are not even close to be safe

Yeah.... sure they are. 🙄

Scared yet?

The good news about the Delta Variant With TWO doses Public Health England PHE_uk Our data shows the Pfizer jab is 96% effective against hospitalisation from the Delta variant after 2 doses. The AstraZeneca jab is 92% effective against hospitalisation after 2 doses.

“I don’t think it’s a concern. I think it’s probably a certainty that’s going to come here, which emphasizes even more the importance of the vaccine,” 'A British study found the Pfizer vaccines to be 88% effective in preventing symptomatic disease after two doses.' Ya.... so?
