>>> ITS A TOUGH WALL OF

HESITANCY WE SEE.

WEVE BEEN HIT VERY HARD IN THE

SENSE THAT WE HAVE DELTA VARIANT

THAT CAME, AND THEN OUR

VACCINATION RATE IS NOT AS HIGH

AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

THERES A WERINESS OUT THERE.

BUT MORE THAN THE WEARINESS IM

CONCERNED ABOUT THE

MISINFORMATION, WHAT WERE

REALLY TRYING TO COUNTERACT NOW.

>> ARKANSAS ONE OF SEVERAL

STATES LESS THAN HALF THE

POPULATION RECEIVED ONE DOSE OF

THE VACCINE.

AS THE DELTA VARIANT TRIGGERS

MORE OUTBREAKS, CDC RECOMMENDING

MASKING FOR SCHOOLS BUT ALSO

CALLING FOR FULL REOPENING.

ONE MAJOR SHIFT IS

RECOMMENDATION FOR PHYSICAL

DISTANCING.

ADVISED THE STUDENTS BE PLACED

MORE THAN THREE FEET APART.

BUT CAVEAT, COULD RELY ON

COMBINATION OF OTHER STRATEGIES

LIKE INDOOR MASKING, TESTING AND

ENHANCED VENTILATION.

DR. VIN GUPTA, A CRITICAL CARE

PULMONOLOGIST IN SEATTLE, ALSO

ON THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF

WASHINGTON HEALTH METRICS AND

EVALUATION.

A LOT OF INFORMATION COMING OUT.

EMERGING MORES HOW TO BEHAVE

WITH NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE

DELTA VARIANT THATS HITTING A

LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN

VACCINATED AND ITS HITTING

PEOPLE IN SO-CALLED BREAKTHROUGH

CASES WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED.

PUT IT TOGETHER FOR US, GIVE US

YOUR MATRIX OF CONCERN RIGHT

NOW.

>> GOOD EVENING, ALI, GOOD TO

SEE YOU.

TOP LINE, IF YOURE FULLY

VACCINATED, WITH TWO DOSES OF

THE VACCINE, PFIZER OR MODERNA,

IN THE UNITED STATES, YOURE

PROTECTED FROM THE DELTA VARIANT

AND SEVERE OUTCOMES LIKE

HOSPITALIZATIONS.

TRULY END OUTCOME WE WANT TO

PREVENT. TWO DOSES IS KEY.

TWO DOSES IS KEY.

TALK ABOUT THE ONE DOSE JOHNSON

& JOHNSON IF YOU LIKE.

BUT THIS REQUIRING A THIRD DOSE

IS PREMATURE. DR. FAUCI AND OTHERS PUSHED BACK

DR. FAUCI AND OTHERS PUSHED BACK

ON THAT PRESENTLYAPPROPRIATELY S

CDC GOT THE SCHOOL THING RIGHT,

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISIONS

BASES ON LOCAL CONDITIONS BUT

DONT WANT THEM TO HAVE TO

ENFORCE THE MASK MANDATE.

COULD HAVE RECOMMENDED INDOOR

MASKING UNLESS VACCINES ARE

FULLY APPROVED.

IF MANDATE POLIO AND RUBELLA,

PROBABLY GOING TO MANDATE COVID

VACCINES.

COULD BE THE GUIDE BACK TO

MANDATE I SUSPECT IS GOING TO

HAPPEN.

I LIKED THE EMPHASIS ON

VENTILATION.

CANNOT CONTINUE TO DISTANCE,
