CDC Memo Reveals Troubling New Science On Delta Variant

A new CDC memo warns the Delta variant is as contagious as the chicken pox. It raises urgent new questions about what activities are safe.

"You don't screw around with this virus. This variant can kill you," Dr. Jonathan Reiner, professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University, said.   “The war has changed” —that’s the latest warning from the CDC in a new document detailing the dangers of the Delta variant, which scientists now say spreads as easily as the chicken pox.   The internal document, reported by multiple news outlets, changes what we thought we knew about COVID. Turns out, Delta is so contagious, even vaccinated people can still transmit the virus to others.
