>>> 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,
