The ‘true delta wave’ starts this weekend, expert says

The true wave of the delta variant is coming this weekend, said Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner.

Gottlieb said states like New York and Connecticut will experience another COVID-19 surge because of the delta variant of the novel coronavirus, according to CNBC.

“I think there’s sort of a perception that we’re sort of through this delta wave here in the Northeast because we’ve seen delta cases go up and go down in places like the New York metropolitan region. We’re also seeing (test) positive come down,” he said, per CNBC.

The delta variant has already been surging throughout the United States. But that might only be the beginning of the delta wave.
