r2d2 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Dr Anthony Fauci warned om Tuesday (left) that the greatest threat to the U.S. defeating the COVID-19 pandemic is the Indian 'Delta' variant. The variant, which is more infectious than other strains, now makes up 20.6% of infections in the country, up from 10% two weeks ago (top right). Fauci said it's important to watch the UK because it could be a precursor to what's to come in the U.S. Britain recorded more than 11,000 cases - most since February - and a 450% spike since the 2,000 average recorded in April, when the variant first took hold. States, such as Missouri, have begun tracking the spread of the Delta variant in wastewater and found samples with the strain in least 10 counties (bottom right). Quote
