As the Delta variant causes a rethink about risk, Americans are battling to keep a feeling of normalcy.

Americans are feeling a sense of whiplash as leaders scramble to account for a surge in Covid cases and a rise in hospital admissions.

Many Americans are now looking ahead to the colder weather and schools re-opening with more hesitancy, fear and frustration. Here's what they said. In my opinion, there is a level of privilege that has been attached to the vaccine. Those that have had it seem to have forgotten that this is still transmittable, and the CDC did too when they initially rolled back the mask guidance. It seems like there is more emphasis on returning to "normal" than ensuring the safety and security of the most vulnerable in our country.

I've started wearing my mask more again, even before the CDC guidelines, as cases have started rising here. My fear about the pandemic started to go away this summer. Personally, I'm vaccinated. The main people in my family are getting vaccinated - that gives me a little peace of mind. My university is requiring vaccines for everyone, so I feel perfectly safe going back to campus. All my close friends are vaccinated, and we have always been cautious. I still expect this fall to be fun and feel more free.
