We know the root Cause. It's Delta Joe spreading infect illegals throughout the United States. I told you Biden is Toxic to America.
The DELTA variant started spreading a few months ago, you know what also happened a few months ago? Illegal crossing the border and being shipped to all parts of the country. Either on purpose or buy accident, if the border was closed, it wouldn't be spreading as fast as it is now. Thanks Joe
Thank you GOVERNMENT for transporting illegals to our southern states. And thank you for a revolving grant of millions to the Wuhan lab in all places China.
1 county in Pa is a place where they transplanted these illegals! HELLO! Biden’s Gov is fueling the spread! Stop the media!
If we go back to quarantine I’m literally just going to turn to one of those bald headed insane people.
THE ONLY DELTA THAT IS TRUE IS DELTA AIRLINES.🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Oddly near bordered states where that current administration ks allowing millions to pass thru.
they will know the delta variant waves.. and america will be the biggest daily case again.. the virusses spread very fast, be careful.
CDC only record data they feel like recording. Where is the info on people with healthy immunity?
so the cases going up why my school lying talking about some it’s going down ????
Just come on and name the next variant after the people most likely to get it: the Stupid Variant.
There should be another quarantine.

Once the death rate in the USA exceeds 666,000…it will surpass all combatant deaths from all USA wars since the War of Independence up until today. This includes, of course, WW1, WW2, Civil War, Vietnam War and the list goes on. It is hard to believe but it is true.
Was,nt joe going to get rid of it ? . Same as Afghanistan potato head talks a load of.
this is a lie. c.d.c. said 28,000 last week in florida. the next day. it was said they made a mistake. its actually about 8,000 in florida. dont let news lie to u guys.
Amazing the states where the borders are seeing more cases. Maybe it just me but that is weird.🤷♀️
Well why some one I know took the shot got sick and spreading it all in her household. All was well before her vaccine. And my employer got the shot and now his immune system 35% lower and he don't feel good 😒 stay away from me
I live in Arkansas and it’s just awful here. I live in an apartment complex which has been locked down again. I feel like I am in prison. We can leave but cannot have friends or family over. What irritates me the most is the owner thinks all guests have COVID yet people from this complex are leaving and coming back with the virus. We had 4 positive cases today in this building and it’s just a matter of time until we all get it, lockdown or not. I don’t want to get sick but I miss having a life.

Can anyone tell me where to get a DELTA variant test? If there is no test, how can there be DELTA variant numbers?
The Unvaccinated adults that allowed this Delta variant of Covid-19 to get a foothold should not be allowed to take up hospital beds. As someone who is vaccinated, I know the Delta variant is really unlikely to even give me symptoms. I frankly don’t care if I spread it to unvaccinated adults. They can wear a mask and stay home if they don’t want to get sick.
"Flu is disappearing because of mandates." "Delta Variant is killing everyone because of no masks." Mmmmmmm
NOTHING THAT THEY TELL ME-NOTHING…is gonna SUCKER me into taking that vaccine…
Daily reminder USA deserves covid
Delta follews the vax shot go back 3 months and its the same as vax shot
Health authorities and government officials have proven their incompetence during this pandemic. From the beginning, they neglected and actually prevented safe and effective treatments from being widely used — a decision that has resulted in unnecessary deaths and needless suffering
Stop 🛑 keeping america enslaved to this Covid crap ! You are making a religion out of this ! Fueling the fear ! ✋
Thanks to Dr. Gbenga on YouTube for his herbal medicine which cured me of Hepatitis A after series of medication which produces no result, since April 2, 2021 I have been cured completely.
Thanks to everyone that recommended Dr IGUDIA on YouTube, he also make it possible for me eradicating the HERPES VIRUS permanently.
However not one single case of the flu throughout 2020 and 2021 hmmm. We believe you
I've been sick on and off for a year and a half wtf is going on????
Stop giving people the shot these people are spreading it like wildfire!!!!! 10 times more contagious they are still catching covid even fully vaccinated it’s genocide.
Total B*llsh*t based on total B&llsh*t numbers. Fear mongering garbage.
A very big appreciation to Dr. IGUDIA on YouTube for helping me get rid of my five years old Herpes virus with his natural herbs medication. may God continue to bless your good work sir.
Looks like the vaccine isn't working ……. I never believed it would anyway……. . .
I had Herpes Virus for over 11 years and over all these years was my worst experience in my life but all that changed when I came online and saw a lot of people talking about this great Dr IGUDIA on his YouTube channel who has the cure to Herpes virus infection. After ordering his herbal medication that was indeed the total end of my Herpes virus
