CDC document on Delta variant: 'The war has changed'The internal CDC document that said the Delta variant appears to cause more severe infection advises that the agency should "acknowledge the war has changed." The document says the Delta variant is about as transmissible as chickenpox, with each infected person, on average, infecting eight or nine others. Jim Justice said the state's Covid-19 task force will begin assessing the state's PPE and hospital and nursing home preparedness. Justice said the state will be working with Pfizer to conduct a "battlefield assessment" about the efficacy of the vaccine's antibodies on fighting the Delta variant. "The enemy is coming, and the enemy is this Delta variant," Justice said.
