It's almost certainly Delta (95%-ish), it has driven out most other variants in the USA, as it spreads so aggressively.

We had a social event here a few weeks ago, all people were vaccinated, or claimed to be. One person had Delta, and was unvaccinated. About a dozen new infections resulted from the gathering, many of them in vaccinated people. The several other unvaccinated people who were at the gathering, who had fibbed about their vaccination status, also got infected. This is the largest case cluster we've had here since the pandemic began.

This new stuff spreads like chicken pox. Beware.
