    ⚠️TRIPLING—US cases soared ⬆️198% (~3x) in the past 2 weeks—even despite few tests performed. Hospitalizations up ⬆️43%, & deaths up ⬆️75%. #DeltaVariant is now 83% of all #COVID19–data says it’s 2x more contagious & 4x severe—akin to “COVID on steroids”🧵 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html …pic.twitter.com/UfjePDXPWC

        2) 83% dominant is quite fast considering we were at just 50% 2 weeks ago. The “COVID on steroids” quote is from @ASlavitt. It’s fair.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1417521491856568334 …

        ALMOST DOMINANT—The #DeltaVariant is now 83% of all sequenced samples in US, says @CDCDirector, up from 50% ~2 weeks ago. ➡️ "We should think about Delta variant as the 2020 version of #COVID19 on steroids” says @ASlavitt. Dear @CDCgov—please update masks. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/20/health/us-coronavirus-tuesday/index.html …

        @DrEricDing's prediction last month that it will be 100% by the end of July looks pretty safe.

        4) I think there has been too much downplaying of #COVID19 again. Even the WH hasn’t been disclosing every breakthrough case. We need more stringent mitigation on top of vaccineshttps://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1417528694265065474 …

        5) it’s high time for the @CDCDirector to walk back the imprudent mask relaxation guidelines. We much change course ASAP. Tick took ⏰— time is off the essence to slow and stop #DeltaVarianthttps://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1415538131835707393 …

        ⚠️I’m doubling down—@CDCgov most definitely made a *grave mistake* in May dropping mask rules for vaccinated & lending momentum to anti-maskera. I said it before, and I’ll say it again —@CDCDirector needs to reinstate the mask rules to fight #DeltaVariant ASAP! Video part 1: 🧵 pic.twitter.com/QWHMcY90YU

        6) Unless the CDC acts, businesses need to step up with every way they can to encourage / require masks, and encourage / and maybe privately require vaccinationshttps://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1415541081735847937 …

        3) Businesses should continue to maintain indoor mask mandates, even if CDC guidelines have not yet caught up. I expect CDC to slowly walk back their previous mask relaxation rules. But until then, must be vigilant about airborne transmission - mask, ventilate, air disinfection. pic.twitter.com/pD4ofOf2WW

        LEARN A LESSON—Netherlands leaders now admit they made a terrible mistake lifting #COVID19 restrictions. But 🇬🇧 Boris Johnson just did the unthinkable in lifting almost all restrictions for England amid #DeltaVariant surge and hospitalization increase. I fear for what is to come. pic.twitter.com/tgaKSXLsT5

        8) is the #DeltaVariant surge somehow surprising? No! If only someone was trying to warn 2 months ago to pay attention to Delta (aka #B16172 as it was known then), as hospitalizations were rising then in UK 🇬🇧… I hate this shit. Pardon my french.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1396397770924232704 …

        ⚠️PAY ATTENTION to rising #B16172 crisis in UK—crucial because India variant affects us all. It is now ~50% of all cases in England, surging fast, especially in kids.
