And Tucker nails it …
Of course the Elites who own the banks that will foreclose on a middle class property owner, who can't pay the mortgage because they don't have rent monies coming in, won't be held accountable.

And the irony. How many of the OVER 1 MILLION illegals let into the country in just the last six months are renting? Or just illegals in general that don't pay federal or state taxes.

Fully-Vaxxed (99%) Gibraltar Sees 2500 PERCENT SPIKE in COVID-19 Cases Per Day, Initiates New Lockdowns

The nation of Gibraltar, which achieved a 99 percent vaccine compliance rate as of June 1, is now seeing an astounding spike in cases.
The number of COVID cases per day have increased by an astounding 2500 percent since June 1, in the latest bit of evidence that the vaccine regime is not all it’s cracked up to be. As a result of the failure of the COVID-19 vaccine, Gibraltar is undergoing another lockdown of sorts , which is affecting public life for all of the countrymen who bought the Big Pharma propaganda and lined up for the shots.
The Gibraltar Ministry of Culture and the Office of Civil Contingencies has cancelled all large scale events until at least September due to the outbreak. They are also urging all private facilities to implement restrictions as well.
“The Government calls on private bars, restaurants and nightclubs to be cautious in the events that they hold, to strictly control numbers and to ensure that clients are vaccinated and have a negative COVID-19 test result,” the government wrote in their announcement of the restrictions.
“At this point in time the Government is not considering introducing legislation to control catering establishments and nightclubs, but this is of […]

The face masks are useless because they only block larger particulant matter not something as the the microscopic size of a virus. It's kind of like putting a screen in your window to keep the cold out.
I've been saying this same thing. Plus most don't even have them on tight enough...

Straight from the source
Isn't it ironic that the new variant includes blood clots in it's symptom list...

According to surveys conducted in the U.K., where Delta accounts for ~90% of current COVID-19 cases, symptoms of Delta tend to be a little different than other strains, but that does not necessarily mean the associated symptoms are more severe. Fever, headache, sore throat and runny nose are common, while cough and loss of smell are not. Other reports link Delta to more serious symptoms, including hearing impairment, severe gastrointestinal issues and blood clots leading to tissue death and gangrene.

I'm still waiting to see/hear how they're getting the results that it is the "delta" variant. The current tests, to my understanding, do not differentiate between variants and only show CCP Virus positivity. My guess, at this point, is that they're basing the "delta" numbers on symptoms rather than a definitive test. Wait until "lambda" hits here, then you'll really see the bonfire of the hair on fires.

All studies prior to Covid were saying they don't really work.
But Leftist are excellent pr deception strategist. They were thinking about the narrative beforehand knowing that Trump would go with prior studies.
"Believe Science" was the leftist mantra, all the while ignoring previous Scientific studies.
Even on this thread we have had a few naive leftist heralding the mask narrative.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough that you should share this link, this video. Listen to this patriotic Canuck and his story. It’s how we defeat these blithering idiots. Force them to show their cards, of which they have NONE.

depends on what you understand under "testing". in some european countries they test anyone who was positive from a rapid test with a pcr test ... also they take samples from the "pcr test batches" for sequencing...

rapid tests are complete useless.. here false positive rate is around 50% (ok maybe a bit less) :D all people i know just make another one if positive... if negative for second, no worry



if you trust gisaid database, then usa will have a nice winter with delta, its rising fast :winktongue: but not as fast as in some european countries... like uk or their brother india

Has anyone seen any data on people who have had Covid and have been infected with the new variant? I am wonder about natural immunity?
Not in the medical field so not sure of the full value of this information in response to your question;

3. Will vaccines remain protective against the Delta variant?
Studies show that 2 doses of vaccines are effective at preventing hospitalization and death, but neutralization levels of vaccinated sera are lower against the Delta variant compared to the original strain. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine tested neutralization activity of sera from individuals who had recovered from natural SARS-CoV-2 infection and sera from individuals who had been fully vaccinated with Moderna or Pfizer vaccines against infectious B.1.617.2 virus. Data from the study indicated that, on average, the Delta variant was 2.9 times less susceptible to neutralization than the Wuhan strain, but most convalescent serum samples and all vaccination serum samples showed detectable neutralization activity. As a result, researchers concluded that immunity conferred by mRNA vaccines is likely to be retained against the Delta variant.

These results were supported by research, published in Nature, that evaluated the sensitivity of infectious Delta virus against monoclonal antibodies, convalescent sera and sera developed after vaccination. The study found that some antibodies targeting the N-terminal domain and receptor binding domain of the spike protein (S protein) showed impaired binding and neutralization of the Delta variant. Additionally, convalescent sera, collected up to 12 months post symptoms from individuals who had recovered from natural SAR-CoV-2 infection, were 4-fold less effective at neutralizing Delta than Alpha. Sera from individuals who were partially vaccinated (had received 1 dose of Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine) showed little to no neutralizing activity against Delta. Sera from 95% of those who received 2 doses of either vaccine generated a neutralizing response that was 3-5-fold less potent against Delta than Alpha.
