None of the the websites said anything about this - great catch! And too bad, both for Bill and it sounded like a really good show.

6. I guess it shows this can happen even if you're vaccinated

Bill has been much happier lately since he has returned to the road making appearances throughout the country. And it did sound like an exceptional show, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Max Brooks are returning favorites.

after two vaccines and they had no symptoms and their partner didn't get it. I'm so glad he is vaccinated. guess if you have no symptoms you are not aerosolizing the virus. But still safer than sorry.

8. This explains why Dr. Fauci stressed the importance of masks even after you're vaccinated

He said that you're still able to spread it - and now we know you're still vulnerable to getting it even if you don't get very sick. He said the vaccine protects you from being hospitalized and dying, but that Bill got it shows that it is still possible to get it. Yikes.

Well, I hope that Bill recovers soon, he has to be upset at having to quarantine again. And they must have had to test a whole lot of people, his crew and anyone he travels with and encounters on the road. And it's disappointing, these were especially good guests.

9. May it not have spread further. I'm sure he'll be okay. If he got Pfizer

or Moderna they are 100% effective against serious covid disease. So that is good.

10. That's the thing. If Bill got it after being vaccinated, there must have been serious exposure

Which makes me apprehensive about this whole "you don't need to wear masks if you're vaccinated" announcement. How do you tell the difference between a vaccinated person and an anti-vax anti-masker? Here in New York, masks are required to enter any business or store - but that doesn't mean that there still aren't anti vaxxers. Sounds premature to me.
