A startling new surge in cases suggests that Delta is established in Louisiana and the previously beaten-back virus is once again on the rise...
Over the last week, cases have increased by 3,360, the biggest spike since March 4, the tail-end of the winter surge. Cases have more than doubled over the last 14 days, likely an effect of the more contagious Delta variant making its way into unvaccinated hosts.
Delta is now the dominant strain in the U.S., making up 52% of new cases. In Louisiana and neighboring states, it is responsible for up 59% of new cases.
With one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, Louisiana residents have a higher risk for coronavirus infection. Just 39% of the population has received at least one shot, behind only Mississippi. Nationally, the rate for vaccine initiation is 55%, with states like Vermont, Hawaii and Massachusetts now over 70%.

“all the new cases are actually jab related adverse effects that they are trying to cover up.”
Then why are they so overwhelmingly among the unvaccinated?
You believe anything “they” are saying? They lied about the entire plandemic so far. A casedemic based on computer projections. They are just saying its the unjabbed to force more to get the lethal injections. The plan is to make it mandatory.
