    OK this might be too inside baseball, but... It’s the kinetics! Delta’s issue is the kinetics! Anyway.

        Delta's biggest advantage vs other variants/OG SARS2 is not that antibodies don't stick to it as well (immune escape) but that it grows inside you way faster (kinetics), outrunning our immune response by the time our body ramps up antibody production it's a full blown infection

        This isn’t inside baseball. This is currently the whole game.

        I agree, but the topic/concept is inside baseball. I'm working on getting someone to write a long-from explainer on this. (Obviously, I'm interested because there is substantive downstream implications for this for policy).
