Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, the Delta variant now makes up for this percentage of US cases  

The CDC says that the Delta variant now makes up for more than half of US Covid-19 cases. Health experts maintain that vaccines offer good protection from the newer variants although an analysis by the Israeli government shows that the Pfizer vaccine is only 64% effective against the Delta variant.

(Additional Out) Because what we know is zero percent effective is not getting a vaccine at all.

But, I’m fully confident he will never sit on a toilet he doesn’t thoroughly inspect for the remainder of his life. (Additional Out) But in the python's defense, he was about to get pooped on.

Throughout the day the 3D cat comes to life in 4k on the 1,664-square-foot curved LED screen in the Shinjuku district and audibly meows.
