As the Delta variant emerges as the dominant strain of Covid across the country, the Capitol attending physician is warning Congress about the variant's presence on Capitol Hill.

"The Delta variant virus has been detected in Washington, DC and in the Capitol buildings," Capitol Attending Physician Brian Monahan said in a letter obtained by CNN to House members and staff.Monahan wrote the Delta variant virus"represents a dire health risk to unvaccinated individuals" and reminded members and staff that vaccinations remain available through the Office of the Attending Physician.

Monahan recommended vaccinated House members consider wearing masks as a way to further reduce their risk of being infected, but stopped short of making it a requirement, according to the letter.

as they ratchet up the fear to control you.

There should NOT be a question of, 'Who will wear the mask?'

If the Delta variant is the dominant strain across the country, does it mean that most American, even the unvaccinated, are already immune to the old Covid-19?

Oh no!

We are past this nonsense! Mask up? Wrong answer!Vaccinate!In my analysis of this,the Delta variant is affecting unvaccinated people! Even if they had one shot it is protecting them from a one way ticket 🎫! People,think! We must all work together! Get the damn shots! Yes, both!

If they are vaxxed who cares? If the vax works then why would anyone care who isn’t vaxxed? Give me one good reason. I’ll wait

Wonder who brought it there?

Fauci is 😱

No one cares. It is summer, everyone has their lives to live. Trying to get everyone to mask up now would impossible

Those Texas Democrats that fled to DC really screwed things up.

Everyone thought I was crazy when I said CP3’s 10 point game 4 would have cascading effects….🤷‍♂️ Because there is 30% of American people who would rather risk their health to prevent Biden any success, we risk having to shut throttle back the economy. Restricting capacity on theaters, restaurants, bars, hair salons, schools, etc. All because of the Conservative Cult. This’s how the elites steal our money.
