The biggest stories sOurced by the best reporters. Now. Welcome to Inside Politics. Im Manu Raju in today for abby. The last few days have felt like a Gut Punch in the fight against covid19. The Delta Variant is one of the most contagious viruss on earth. The Science Know shows Vaccinatd Americans can spread the virus, too. The vaccines still work. If yOure vaccinated, yOure extremely unlikely to get infected or get seriously ill. If you still get infected, you can be a spreader. Officials want everyone to mask up when in indoors in public in a highrisk region. The best way to stop a new variant from spreading is to have less virus out there and the best way to do that is to get people vaccinated and to mask up until they are. The Virus Is smart.

For example, the word cases doesnt mean the same thing it did a year ago, because a Breakthrough Case when vaccinated, when you are infected and vaccivaccinated, i very, very different than a case when unvaccinated. About the word breakthrough, there is really not enough data to know how often it happens. That is a critical problem. But the data is clear that its causing more deaths.

My big takeaway, reading about the Providence Town Outbreak in the news is no one died. But this article prompted the fact that more people were vaccinated, and it said the more sail salient fact that only a few people ended up in the hospital. Ptown sparked conf
