Our Main Topic this week is about Delta, and no not Delta Airlines, I mean the Delta variant of the coronavirus. The world is slowly retuning back to normal and no country has shown good recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic quite like the United States of America. The country and it citizens like me have been through a lot since the start of the pandemic, but we survived 2020 by the skin of our teeth even though thousands other did not. If anyone remembers from a few months ago, President Joe Biden and his administration put a goal to have 70% of adults given at least one shot of COVID-19 vaccine by July 4th aka the Fourth of July aka Independence Day aka Red, White and Blue Day aka Stuff Your Face with Food and Soda Day. However, reports are being dished out that the United States is projected to miss that July 4 goal of partially vaccinating 70% of adults, and there a several reasons why that is. For now, let's just stick with two that I think are the most obvious, #1: There are still a great number of parts in the US where Americans are unvaccinated, either because they can't find a way to get vaccinated or becuase they don't want to be vaccinated. #2: The Delta COVID-19 variant is poised to become the next predominant strain of the virus in the US. To name a few key facts, this variant has gone by different names like SARS-CoV-2 Delta and lineage B.1.617.2, it was first detected in India in late 2020, and the World Health Organization named it the Delta variant on May 31st. Dr. Anthony Fauci has warned that the Delta variant presents the greatest threat to the United States' efforts to contain COVID-19, in fact it could cause another moderate surge of COVID-19 this summer because of unvaccinated people. But luckily, Health experts say COVID-19 vaccines, like Pfizer and Moderna, offer protections against the Delta variant, so while the Biden administration is not able to reach its July 4 goal, getting the whole country vaccinated should be the only goal worth trying to accomplish. To get a better understand about the Delta COVID-19 variant, here's a #TwitterTrend that's too great to ignore.

1/3 The White House acknowledged it won't meet Biden's goal to vaccinate 70% of American adults by the Fourth of July. While the U.S. has rolled out vaccines relatively quickly, speed isn't the only component in a successful vaccination program.

2/3 Trust and interest in getting the vaccine can become a limiting factor in the country's overall vaccination rate. The CDC said younger adults are more likely to be reluctant to get vaccinated because of concerns over vaccine safety and effectiveness.

3/3 Community trust in the vaccine is especially important when the infection rate is high. The highly-transmissible Delta variant is a growing concern for areas with low vaccination rates. It's the greatest threat to the effort to eradicate COVID-19 in the U.S., Dr. Fauci said.
The Associated Press @AP
The White House says more than 70% of Americans age 30 or older have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That's even though President Biden will fall short of his goal of giving a shot to the same percentage of all U.S. adults by July 4th.
NPR @NPR
At a White House briefing on COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci said that 20.6% of new cases in the U.S. are due to the Delta variant.
CNN @CNN
A coronavirus variant first spotted in India is poised to become the dominant one in the United States, where infectious disease modelers say it could cause a "resurgence" of Covid-19 later this year https://t.co/20zux3IeYS?amp=1 Morning Edition @MorningEdition
The Delta variant of the coronavirus is seen as "super contagious," experts say.
CBS This Morning @CBSThisMorning
With just 45% of Americans fully vaccinated and only 16 states that have fully vaccinated more than half of their populations, health experts are worried about the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.
WSJ Politics @WSJPolitics
Studies show Covid-19 vaccines offer significant protection against the Delta coronavirus variant, U.K. officials said, a hopeful sign as the strain first identified in India spreads globally
Axios @axios
NEW: Adult deaths from COVID-19 are "at this point entirely preventable" thanks to vaccines, the head of the CDC says.
