COVID-19 concerns grow as Delta variant cases rise in U.S.

Health experts are concerned that America is becoming sharply divided on vaccinations against COVID-19. Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, an assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Medical University of South Carolina, joins CBSN with more on that and the spread of the highly infections Delta variant.

Don't worry shareholders, big pharma will be able to stretch this out for decades.

Fear-mongering, these people are sick.

Notice how the phrase "two Americas" has been repeated throughout the news. It's the new buzzword

If this was a real health crisis, the news would mention studies like this EVERY DAY: "Vitamin D Insufficiency May Account for Almost Nine of Ten COVID-19 Deaths" - _Nutrients_ Nov. 2020

We are never going to get out of this pandemic...

[charlielopez]

Thats funny because people with common sense have continued to live their lives, untested and unvaccinated Americans, not sheep.

[iDeagles]

Yeah, we're very concerned about the 'new' variant. Please sell us a booster shot every 6 months. /s

The scamdemic will never end.

The last time I was pressured this much I was talking to a used car salesman about buying a car

Let's keep listening to Fauci because he's never been wrong. 👌

Wow. You got the guy that funded the Wuhan lab still giving advise. I am surprised Interpol hasn't caught up with him yet.

*I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a good job doesn't mean security rather having different investment is the real deal*

[patriciarodden-kesner]

What about the people who are vaccinated and are catching the new Delta variant? Why don’t you talk about that?

The Dr's stock hasn't been exceeding their goals.

[RobinDale]

Deaths still trending down, now SIX weeks after Delta started hitting the news. Plenty of time for it to have had an impact. Virus mutation 101: Generally, usually, mutations go "more transmissible but less lethal." The 7 day average for deaths is still trending down, cases up a little but only in the last week (otherwise flat-to-down for months), not nearly enough time to determine a trend.

[Turin-Fett]

Now they're trying to normalize the idea of injection mandates.
Just as expected.

[nyquil]

These comments questioning so called "authority" give me hope in humanity.

[replysoon]

If it's "new" shouldn't it be called COVID-21?

[realtalk]

I'm more concerned with liberals and the media than any variant you can create to scare liberals with.

[christopherlincoln]

I was skeptical about getting vaccinated but decided to eventually get it but I don't think people should be forced or that it should be mandated. I feel that's taking away people's right at the end of the day it should be the individuals choice if they want to or not.
