Delta has hit China. Nothing massive yet. It'll be interesting to see if China can stop it effectively. They've done a great job of containing it so far, estimated 57% fully vaccinated (I would have thought more by now).

Officials borrowed from the same playbook when a cluster of cases recently emerged in the eastern city of Nanjing, placing 9.3 million residents in semi-lockdown. Nearly all in-person commercial and social activity was suspended and neighborhoods considered high-risk were cordoned off. Taxis were told not to leave the city, and residents were subject to mass testing.
But as coronavirus cases continued to pop up this week in other cities as a result of the highly contagious delta variant, driving new infections in China to a six-month high, some experts have suggested the need for a shift in strategy.

The outbreak started in Nanjing’s Lukou International Airport, where the vast majority of employees are vaccinated, local officials said. Cases linked to Lukou have been detected in at least 13 cities in seven provinces, although according to officials, only a handful of those cases have been severe. No deaths have been reported.
