The COVID-19 Delta Variant: Everything We Know About It So Far, According to Experts Health 1 hr ago © Provided by Health.com Getty Images You re probably hearing and thinking about COVID-19 less these days, and there s a good reason for that: Cases of the virus continue to fall as more people in the US are vaccinated. But there s been a lot of buzz about a COVID-19 variant called Delta that has plenty of people-including infectious disease experts-talking. Earlier this week, Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a briefing of the White House COVID-19 response team that, while Delta makes up about 6% of COVID-19 cases in the US, it has potential to spread more rapidly. We cannot let that happen in the United States, he said, pointing to the UK, where the variant has caused a resurgence in cases, as a powerful argument for more vaccination.
