This week Fred and Nick review the latest data on the Delta variant that is sweeping across countries and causing concern. The data as it stands suggests this variant is more contagious (spreads easier from person to person) and has increased virulence (more likely to cause severe illness in unvaccinated people). It has become the dominant strain in a number of areas and likely will do so around the world.

Continued use of appropriate NPI’s depending on risk
