A new study shows the Delta variant produced similar amounts of virus in vaccinated and unvaccinated -- prompting the change in mask guidance

Experts say that vaccination makes it less likely that you'll catch Covid-19 in the first place -- but for those who do, this data suggests they could have a similar tendency to spread it as unvaccinated folks."High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus," Dr.

The town manager of Provincetown, Alex Morse, told CNN Friday that the town appeared to be taking a favorable turn -- with an indoor mask mandate in place and a test positivity rate that's on the decline."We think we're heading in the right direction, but obviously concerned about what's happened here in the last few weeks," Morse told CNN's John Berman.

Get your act together CNN! Delta variant had similar amounts of virus in vaccinated and unvaccinated WHO WERE INFECTED. Big omission, and really important. How many were exposed and didn’t get sick? That’s the key. How many infected died? (Answer is zero)

What a terrible headline. Why not highlight that if you’re vaccinated you have a much less chance of getting the virus? Equating unvaccinated to vaccinated only increases hesitancy. Do better!

Stop it

Florida's unexpected COVID-19 Delta surge could be prolonged: Infection expertFlorida health officials said that while they expected an uptick in coronavirus metrics over the summer, none predicted the Delta surge to be as significant as it has been across the state. Changes in the death rate is all that matters. All else is political propaganda. Delta was significant in india and uk and now in decline. Read article in ny times about it today. Cases arent deaths. Why get vaccine if you can still catch/spread it and have to follow same vaccine mandates as un vaccinated? Im never getting it.
