Email: editor@clevelandurbannews.com.  CLEVELAND, Ohio- A strain of COVID-19 dubbed the Delta- Plus Coronavirus variant that is more transmissible and more dangerous and 60 percent more contagious than others could break out in the US momentarily, some scientific and other experts say. "It's not going to be as pervasive," Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, said Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation. "It's going to hyper-regionalized. There's certain pockets of the country where you're going to have very dense outbreaks."  Gottlieb said the Delta Variant will likely target southern communities and  that those with lower vaccination rates and lower rates of prior infection are the most vulnerable.  About 46 percent of the  country's population has

Vice  President  Kamala Harris, the first woman and first Black vice president of America  Clevelandurbannews.com and- Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com By Kathy Wray Coleman, associate publisher, editor in chief WASHINGTON, D.C.- Vice President Kamala Harris, America's first woman and first Black vice president, will visit the Mexico-U.S. border this week, her first trip to that particular border and one that follows criticism that the vice president was avoiding such a trip even after returning earlier this month from her first foreign trip as vice president, a three-day visit to Guatemala and Mexico. The Mexico–United States border is an international border separating Mexico and the U.S. that   extends from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Gulf of Mexico in the east. Harris, 56 and a Democrat, had said that she would visit the border in due time and that there is no quick fix to the influx of Central American migrants to the U.S. A former California attorney general and U
