There is not an individual test that determines if it is the “Delta variant.” There is ONE test that determines if a person is positive for covid, or negative for covid. This false news is killing our country. Please stop rolling over and do a little research.

Genomic sequencing- they run the test on a significant number of cases to determine trends. Trends that show 80% of the new cases are Delta. Please take your own advice.

Correct, but this test takes many weeks-or longer to get results. How are they coming up with daily reports showing the Delta variant numbers? Even our Vice president had a blank look on her face when she was asked this question. Truth is, they are guessing, but reporting as facts. Very dangerous.

Just because you don’t understand how statistics work doesn’t make it a conspiracy. How difficult it must be to go through life with your amygdala lit up like a Christmas tree seeing a plot in every shadow.

It would be interesting to know how many were not vaxxed

Agreed. Also, preexisting comorbidities, ages of the deceased, and other contributing circumstances.

Were they motorcycle accidents? The flu? Or covid? Who knows?

No, they were covid cases. Those there, with medical education, said so. What are you, stupid. There is no reward to medical educated people to report a death as covid, when it wasn’t. What a maroon.
