Don’t Disgard the Data — Davidson County TN. Cases are sharply rising before school resumes
Sharply rising case count here in Davidson County, TN:
Daily cases now are 5x the level of early July.
Which is a similar case for TN.
And — clearly the US as a whole:
US is now almost 10x higher than the levels in early July.

Don’t Deny the Data
Delta is a new strain — so treat it with the appropriate caution — especially for those of us with children who are too young to be vaccinated.
The current return to school situation easily looks like a repeat of 2020 — and we can all recall the spike in cases & fatalities over Thanksgiving to New Year. While many of the vulnerable have received vaccines , as current hospital capacity concerns show, there’s plenty of opportunity for this variant to disrupt.
