STRATEGY: Delta-plus is a non-issue in USA, so far… Energy + Bitcoin most logical YE strategies

While Delta-plus (AY.4.2) needs to be watched, not an issue for USA currently
Outbreak.info, a group dedicated to tracking key COVID-19 metrics, has added tracking data for Delta-plus variant (AY.4 in this dataset) which includes the UK variant (AY.4.2):

  • AY.4 has been identified for >3 months now
  • AY.4 is ~10% of cases in past two months
  • AY.4 is rising but at the expense of B.1.617.2

Recall, B.1.617.2, is the "original" Delta variant (technically called "kappa" variant first detected in India) and was the dominant variant for the US for the past few months. Thus, Delta-plus seems to be eating share of Delta variant. This needs to be monitored and we will be revisiting this data from outbreak.info periodically.
