Summary

A new COVID-19 mutation known as the 'Delta' variant, first detected in India, has now spread to eighty countries including the United States. Though it has not been determined if the 'Delta' variant makes you sicker it does spread quicker and is estimated to account for more than twenty percent of all new infections in the United States over the recent weeks. FOX's Trey Yingst speaks with Dr. Marty Makary, of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and author of 'The Price We Pay: What Broke American Health Care and How To Fix It', about the concerns of the variant and what he suggests should be done to combat it.
