While Bay Area health officials don t plan to reimplement COVID-19 guidelines for masking and social distancing for now, their concern about the virus delta variant is increasing for unvaccinated people.
The variant, first detected in India and now in more than 80 countries, currently represents about 36% of California s new coronavirus cases and is likely to become the country s dominant strain as the year progresses.
The main concern, according to health experts, is that the delta variant is believed to be roughly 60% more transmissible than the alpha variant, also known as the UK or B.1.1.7 variant, which is currently the most common source of new infections in the U.S.

We re on our first real trip since November 2019, and honestly it s a little weird.
As part of taking COVID-19 precautions seriously, my wife and I all but eliminated unnecessary travel in 2020 and early 2021 for personal safety and out of respect for the few family, friends, colleagues and strangers we d interact with before the vaccinations arrived. We had opted instead to spend our off-time with stay-cations at home or the occasional outdoor trek in the greater Bay Area.
With relaxed restrictions at home in California and our own comfort levels improving as inoculations increase, we took advantage of the opportunity to spend two weeks at family property my grandparents own in rural Wyoming in the part of the state my grandpa lived in through high school before attending the U.S. Naval Academy.
