The Beta variant was not particularly contagious, and therefore it became instead the Delta variant, which infected badly and which had moderate ability to shake off the immune system, which became the dominant variant.
Beta varianturin var kortini ikki serliga smittandi, og tí gjørdist tað ístaðin delta frábrigdið, ið smittaði illa og sum hevði moderatan eginleika at skáka sær undan immunverjuni, ið gjørdist dominerandi frábrigdið.
