can start not celebrating the end of the pandemic but at least marking the end of the pandemic? yeah, you know i would love to be optimistic and i m usually an optimistic person. but i do remember is we said the same things back in june and july. remember? and we started talking about how we can relax and we can take off our masks and we can go and live life fully. but we know that we have the potential of a new variant. and having the spirit come to be in the first place, the delta variant. it s impacting a large number of persons that were not vaccinated. there were walking around without masks on. look at the deep south of the united states of america, that s exactly what we have. in the west midwest, look at what we have. if we look at the continent of africa, we re looking at 2% of the entire continent 4% of the entire continent thing fully vaccinated. we are not out of the woods. so, whenever we make those disclaimers of, we are going to be going out in january. i always say,
for that, then i take it back. greg: you are nigh about natural immunity. probably the strongest immunity you have. kat, did you get covid? i can t remember. i m not. my husband did and i kept testing negative but we do hang out. sometimes without masks on. greg: do you feel bad for don lemon because we crushed him so? is 11:00 p.m. hour is not just him talking to himself and it s weird because we do news better than he does and we are not even trying to do news. now. i would never say i am trying to do news. but i m confused by why he seems to want to call people stupid so badly. he is like we don t call the dash we can call them stupid and shame them? i just don t have that inside of me. i feel like if amended
entire story. if you have a heart attack in eastern kentucky or have a mild injury or elective surgery as we heard from the guests on the panel, it is likely to be delayed, you re likely to be sent home. that s the reality on the ground. the domino effect of the unvaccinated. you re in houston where students are going back to school today. what s the plan to keep kids safe? reporter: chris, that s the question that parents are asking themselves as we consider back and forth between school districts and governor of texas who is standing by a ban on mask mandates. that said, last week texas supreme court said districts like this one in houston can make that decision and on the first day, saw parents and students walking up, masks on, everyone happy to be back in the actual classroom because virtual learning took up the majority of the year last year, and that s something while they know it is an option, they hope by taking the right steps now, they can keep in classroom learning on t
the senators are about 70 or above. i think senator hickenlooper is 69. wicker is 70, and angus king is 77. we know in old effort people, and the antibody response is not as robust as for younger people. and it degrades over time. also, we know that these senators were vaccinated were early. all members of congress were vaccinated beginning in the first wave. so they would have been vaccinated in december or january. and that s now eight months out. what we re learning is that the effect of the vaccines wane. as we just heard, their business is to be around people, and the senate has never had a mask mandate. so to me, that s a perfect storm. you have older people vaccinated eight months ago in an environment that caters to people without masks on. this is where you re going to get breakthrough infections.
