As delta wanes in the south it's headed for the northeast!

I know this is Scott Gottlieb, a former Trump official, but he's not an idiot, and he says delta will head north soon after wreaking havoc in the south. Not what I want to hear living in New England. Worth a look:

1. 1 in 75 people in TN said to have active covid

Plenty pf maskholes to spread the disease.

2. The Northeast is mostly vaccinated. It's going to have trouble getting going too bad. nt

8. We just started back to school. We'll see how it goes.

3. "I know this is Scott Gottlieb, a former Trump official"

He had worked at the agency before under Shrub's 1st & 2nd terms.

4. With vaccination, I hope this winter will be better than the last

Most northeast states have much higher vaccination rates than the southeast. As usual it would be conservative types who are less vaccinated.

5. Holding at 66% vaccinated in my NE NY county, not great but better than those south and west

6. I steer clear of conservatives and large groups as much as I can

and stick with vaccinated liberals when I meet up with friends.

7. Oh, same here!

I never participate in large groups, the most people I see at one time is when I go to the grocery store. I only go once a week now and I still wear a mask when I enter any store or business - even though New York rescinded that mandate for the vaccinated as of July. I cringe when I drive up north through Lake George since the sidewalks are packed with tourists like any other summer. Last year everything was closed and there was a quarantine in place.
