The article itself leads with the conventional media thinking about Delta, but to me it almost feels like it's a hook to lure in both those who follow or doubt the conventional thinking in order to lead them to develop a better understanding of the actual risks. I very much agree with you about the transmissibility. It's probably not much more transmissible but still enough to out-compete other variants, but there's a lot of other factors that greatly amplify the effective transmission rate. It's interesting the correlation between where the new variants spread and what type of vaccines were deployed there. Immunity against certain variants from past infection and vaccination is going to put pressure on variants to develop in a certain way. We'll probably soon see variants that are more transmissible against the Pfizer vaccine.
