And now, feeling like wow, Delta resumes, we see a widespread transmission in children. These children are in camps. These kids play with friends. Will they be infected and result in one of us who are vaccinated, but could have a revolutionary case, or ... I know how to protect me, "but could I" potentially be exposed, to be infected And more importantly, transmit and especially, transmit for them.
