From "4 Reasons I’m Wearing a Mask Again" by Katherine J. Wu (The Atlantic).

"I see all this talk about the Delta variant, and I want to ask: How is it known that the COVID affecting people so much now is the Delta variant? I've not been able to tell if the COVID testing actually discerns between variants. So why is this meme, if you will, that it's Delta running rampant, why is that meme running rampant through every single article I read about this? Katherine Wu seems to be living in fear. That's not a way I want to live."

I'll just say:

Is it fear or just a decision to weigh safety rather heavily — risk aversion?; 7/23/21, 10:42 AM
