Delta variant of SARS-Covid19 "gonna get everyone NOT immune", says Mayo Clinic Doc

[army judge]

Dr. Gregory Poland of the Mayo Clinic is one of the nation's leading experts on vaccines. He says he is still wearing a mask even when he steps out of his Mayo office.

"I think there is no question we are going to see a surge," he said. "In a crowded scenario, I am in a mask, indoors or outdoors."

The Minnesota Department of Health say 99% of new cases in Minnesota are in unvaccinated people, and 75% of those new cases are the Delta variant.

"It's a serious warning for us in Minnesota," he said. "We are seeing the Delta variant really take over."

Poland shared a particularly dire warning for those still unvaccinated for COVID.

"Don't be deceived that 'I got this far and I am OK.' This is a very different variant. It will find you," he said.

He is especially worried about children too young to get the vaccine, and teens whose parents are on the fence.

"We are seeing a rise in severe disease and hospitalizations among young people," Poland said.

He agrees with the American Academy of Pediatrics that, this fall, all kids should wear a mask in school, whether they're vaccinated or not.

"A mask is not a political symbol. It is a medical symbol of taking care of yourself and others," he said.

Delta variant seems to be the Big Poppa among the
SARS-COVID19 clan.

The Delta variant might just be a blessing in disguise. It can prey on the less intelligent members of the herd (those who choose to remain unvaccinated) and leave a stronger, healthier, more intelligent herd. Might solve a good part of our crime and violence problem since criminals, crazies, and low life aren't likely to get vaccinated.

Nature often culls a herd, a tribe, a troop, etc... in the wild.

It only seems logical that nature would work the same magic among civilized, socialized beasts, too.
