As the delta variant of the coronavirus spreads through the United States, the possibility of lockdowns is looming.
On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, hinted that lockdowns might return if more people don't get vaccinated.
“These shots need to get in everybody’s arms as rapidly as possible, or we're going to be back in a situation in the fall that we don’t yearn for — that we went through last year,” McConnell said.
