This week Dr, Nick, and Fred discuss the importance of mask-wearing which as one observer noted:

When the CDC issued its mask guidance two months ago, it got the science right, but the policy and communication wrong…..the backsliding of the United States’ pandemic progress necessitated the return of indoor masking. This has happened because of those who choose to remain unvaccinated, and the vaccinated are now paying the price

Unfortunately, as things continue to decline around the country courtesy of the Delta variant, our conversation this week continues to highlight masks. We talk about the possibility of vaccine requirements for travel and the increasing numbers of younger people being severely impacted with COVID=-19 who do not have comorbid conditions.
