Delta Variant, B.1.617.2 New Concerns regarding this variation of Covid-19.
"The existing vaccines are very effective so no, it's not a lockdown, but some areas will be very hurt."
Biden also stressed the need for more Americans to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as the Delta variant, or B.1.617.2, spreads throughout the country.
"People getting seriously ill and being hospitalized due to COVID-19 are those that have not been fully vaccinated. The new variant will leave unvaccinated people even more vulnerable than they are," Biden said. "This is a serious concern, especially because of what experts are calling the Delta variant. It's a variant that is more easily transmissible, potentially deadlier and particularly dangerous for young people."
