I usually fly Jet Blue or American so I think I'm safe Grin

Sorry, had to say it.
Seems to be spreading quickly and a touch more dangerous then the alpha version.
Due to the speed of it's spread, it's going to be interesting to see if it takes over as the primary variant over time or if it slows down like the other variants did.

I am worried if the government won't do any action to at least stop or prevent its transmission. Well, prevention is better than cure and it is what everyone must do just as the government of our countries. I hope that there won't be any new variant that will come out. Because each variant that comes out, it's always more transmissible.

Delta is moderately resistant to vaccines, particularly in people who have received just a single dose. A Public Health England study published on 22 May found that a single dose of either AstraZeneca's or Pfizer's vaccine reduced a person’s risk of developing COVID-19 symptoms caused by the Delta variant by 33%, compared to 50% for the Alpha variant. A second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine boosted protection against Delta to 60% (compared to 66% against Alpha), while two doses of Pfizer’s jab were 88% effective (compared to 93% against Alpha).

The vaccine works against the delta variant, just not as well as some of the more mainstream variants. There probably will end up being some sort of strain that doesn't jive well with these vaccines, forcing everyone to get the jab again. Not like the mutation rate of Covid is too high, it's just everyone has it, so a mutation is inevitable.

Good for us though, the delta variant doesn't seem to be more deadly, so we're okay for now.

It is reported to be up to 60% more transmissible. I'm OK, and I'm not taking any precautions, as I haven't been vaccinated, so I still have all my natural immunity.
