Sorry to be a downer but I'm having a hard time being optimistic about the situation. My prediction is that pretty much every child in America will contract delta within the next month.
The approach towards vaccinations and masking in schools has been absurd. I'm so disappointed that the FDA haven't prioritized vaccinations for kids. Now a ton of kids are going to die unnecessarily.
