Dr. Robert Water, chair of UCSF’s Department of Medicine, said this week: “I tend to look at the UK as the US for the next month: they seem to get the variables about a month before we do. Vaccination rates are slightly ahead of the US, so the fact that the delta variable changes from some cases to the primary variable in a month or two in the UK is highly likely what will happen in the US.”

Fauci said the proportion of new Delta-related cases in the United States doubles every two weeks, so in those two weeks, 20 percent of new cases will become 40 percent at that rate. The variable will be close to 100% by the end of July.
“So you can expect that doubling time In a few weeks to a month or so It will be quite outstanding. That is miserable news,” Fauci said.
