Blog

Tonya L. Breaux-Shropshire, PhD, MPH Children & COVID-19. Children are not likely to be infected, but since the Delta variant is so contagious, more children get infected, get sick, and spread the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control(CDC), to date, there have been over 94,000 children hospitalized with COVID-19. Unfortunately, approximately 400 children have died from COVID-19.

Why Should You Put the Mask Back On?

Blog

Why Should You Put the Mask Back On, especially when 75% of Americans have had at least one shot?

So, we might not have accurate data based on other resources such as the COVID-19 tracking app. Things are changing so quickly. CDC & Recommendations Yesterday, the CDC has reversed its mask recommendations. It is recommending vaccinated people wear masks indoors in areas with high transmission (US 2/3 of the states).
