Also, why are people not as outraged by this as they were with Trump (not a Trump supporter in any way, I equally hate both parties)? I mean, at least it was a new thing with Trump...UGH, I just turned this into a political thing, I hate myself.
So, yeah, he's probably protected. Hopefully, most of the athletes have been vaccinated.
US has a 7-day moving average of ~32,000 new cases on 7/14. This is up from ~2100 on 6/10. Still not last winter, but the trend is a concern and seems to burn hottest in low vaccination areas (MS, AR, LA, OK, MO). 83% of cases where genetic sequencing was performed were the Delta variant. Deaths are up 48%, but typically lag the case surge by 4-6 weeks. This time it's not just the old people getting it. Some locales are starting to make noise about recommending masks again.
