"This is a very concerning outbreak -- pretty much a 'super spreader event," said Dr. Carlos Del Rio, executive associate dean and global health expert at the Emory School of Medicine.Social distancing recommendations are posted in the Rose E. McCoy Auditorium where COVID-19 vaccinations were being offered on the Jackson State University campus in Jackson, Miss., July 27, 2021.
Throughout the spring and summer, the CDC based its guidance on scientific studies of prior COVID-19 variants, including the then-dominant alpha variant, which was first identified in the UK and swept the United States during the 2020-2021 winter surge. "This is what I always say in a pandemic: I wish I knew today what I’m going to learn tomorrow," Del Rio said.
Experts say this is still a pandemic largely of the unvaccinated, with a majority of cases among unvaccinated people, meaning it's more important than ever for anyone who is not vaccinated to get vaccinated.
