that they re being asked to put masks on again, in order to protect, in large part, people who refuse to get vaccinated. well, jake, let s take a deep breath and step back. you are pro in communicating. we know how difficult these messages are. there are people who ve told me why don t you decide on one thing and stick with it. well, if you rr wildchfire move a different direction, you have to move with the wildfire. that s what we re doing with covid now that the delta variant is here. we have to alter what we re doing. but we all have to do it together. and, yes, i can understand that people are getting a limb grumpy with the unvaccinated. let s all extend them a hand of friendship and try to get them in and persuade them to get vaccinated. we need them to be vaccinated. that will tampen down the spread of this virus.
the only way we will stop the delta variant stop in many of these communities now seeing a high spread of it mask mandates going back in place more and more folks getting vaccinated and that s where these deaths are happening. i agree with you. brian: can i add real quick? i have a good friend 17 and 1-year-old goethe got the shot. 19-year-old no problem. 17-year-old swelling of the heart. he can t take a deep breath for two weeks it hurt every time his heart beat. is he 100 percent healthy and elite athlete. the dad feels terrible. how could i sit here with a microphone and say go get vaccinated a what if you listen to me and i m responsible for the swelling of that kid s heart. i don t want that responsibility because i m not qualified to give you medical advice. i m willing to admit that. greg: i m not. up am an expert. brian: take it away, greg. greg: you make my heart swell. brian: thank you very much. that s for another time and another show. dana: you make his head
quality data that they gather here only goes to confirm what folks in the midwest and to the east already know when they go outside, take a deep breath and look up. take a look here this morning, this was the sun trying to breakthrough the haze, the air feels really heavy. the air quality index should be in the green zone this time of year, but right now, the realtime data shows it s yellow and it s fast approaching an alert of red. from the midwest to the mid atlantic and parts of the south, this morning, hazy horizons brought on by smoke from those massive wild fires out west. the largest one, the bootleg blaze in oregon, less than 40% contained. so big and hot it s creating its own weather, including wind and dry storms. sending that smoke in parts of the northern plains and right down in through the middle part of the country and eventually over towards the east coast where we ve been seeing it for
worse. how do you manage. there s so much anti-vaccine propaganda, we know conservative networks push the same arguments. how do you fight against it. these are news organizations that a lot of people in your state trust. every elected official are democrats and republicans, take a deep breath, step back from acrimony, confrontation that s become normal in politics and laser focus on getting people vaccinated. people vaccinated should call friends and family about the experience, encourage loved ones to be vaccinated. we should put all government resources into direct communication about benefits of vaccines. that means knocking on doors, phone calls, doing everything we can, incentives to get people to be vaccinated, to understand what their concerns are, address the concerns directly. we have aggressive communication plan in missouri, in st. louis county that we are stepping up.
