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.
And it may already account for 1 in every 5 infections nationwide, experts say.
The Delta variant, as it's now called, has swept across the UK, all but replacing the Alpha variant first identified there late last year.
"This is the most transmissible of all the variants that we've seen," Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, told CNN's Ana Cabrera Monday.
"We saw what happened in the UK, where it overtook the entire nation. So I'm worried that's going to happen in the US," he said. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/22/health/covid-variant-delta-gamma/index.html
