Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Courtroom (cue Jaws music) comes...
The Delta Variant PLUS!
Yes, the CDC has identified an even more contagious Delta Variant which is spreading in the UK. "What does this mean?" you may be asking. We will tell you.
Regular old cuddly Covid19 had an R value of 3, meaning that for every person that became infected, they infected three other people, unless they worked in the White House under the prior administration, when their R value was double, because they didn't believe in masks, or Covid19 for that matter.
The Delta Varian has an R value of 9, which is not good and means someone with the Delta variant has 1000 more times of the virus than someone infected with regular Covid. What we know about the DeltaPlus is that it is more virulent than Delta, and binds even more strongly to lung cell receptors, which could well reduce the ability of the Covid monoclonal antibody treatment.

Enjoy your Monday and wear a mask and cover your damn nose when you wear a mask please.
