Los Angeles County health officials who are „strongly“ urging people – even those who are vaccinated – to wear a mask indoors due to the „Delta variant“ of the Wuhan coronavirus are overreacting, contend two prominent epidemiologists. Dr. Peter McCullough said the restrictions in Los Angeles and lockdowns in Australia, Thailand and South Africa are „completely unnecessary.“ „The Delta variant is the mildest one we’ve seen so far, and even though it’ll proportionately take up a greater number of cases – and we expect this in the United States – it has a very low mortality, appears to be the most treatable strain that we’ve seen so far,“ he said Monday in an interview with Fox News‘ „The Ingraham Angle,“ which was guest-hosted by Ben Domenech. „We’re going to keep patients out of the hospital at a very low risk of mortality,“ said McCullough, a practicing internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and professor of medicine at the Baylor University School of Medicine in Dallas. Some 70% of Australia’s population is under lockdown restrictions amid less than 200 active Delta variant cases.
