Hospitalizations. >> if i was trying to put an end point on when this delta wave has moved through the country, its probably thanksgiving. on the back end of that were going to have hopefully a vaccine available for children. at some point by the end of the year we will have the orally available drug from merck. i think those two things are going to be the book end on the sort of pandemic phase of this virus. >> joining me now is cnn medical analyst lena wen. i want to get into what dr. gottleib...
