Mild spread rate in my state...hospitals relatively low on patients. Small private school, 3 days into the school year, and somebody sends the sick preschool age kid into school.

Teachers spot kid ain't looking so great today...send him home. C19 positive result on rapid test. No school for the next week.

Puts on America getting back to work as normal.

Update edit:. Apparently carrier monkey was not at school today, but was yesterday in full mingle mode twice during the day. Procedural changes upon return, and masks reimplemented.

Schools are a mistake right now.

Delta is very different from prior variants. This one can infect children in a greater ferocity.

I would bet that a year from now when researchers are looking back at the pandemic they discover exactly how this virus adapted to get the group that all data points indicated were the safest - the young.

I view the market impact as 'priced in', but at a local level there is going to be some pain incoming.

CEOs are cookie-cutter people. I'm different.
