Bloomberg 23 hrs ago Elaine Chen and Rebecca Torrence
(Bloomberg) The fast-spreading delta variant is clouding Americans’ hopes for a carefree summer and casting a shadow of doubt over plans to get back to business as usual in the fall.
The shift in sentiment marks a reversal from the spring, when it looked like the U.S. immunization campaign would turn the tide definitively against the coronavirus. But lingering vaccine hesitancy in some areas has converged with the arrival of the more contagious delta strain and darkened the mood across much of the country.

A woman in her 40s with no known health conditions is the first Washoe County COVID-19 death from the more contagious Delta variant.
She did not receive a COVID-19 vaccine, the Washoe County Health District reported Thursday.
The county total of related deaths from the virus since March 2020 now stands at 685.
The health district has not immediately said if her death is related to one of the four Delta clusters, including one linked to a Washoe County kindergarten class.
But they are worried. It’s very concerning that a person with no underlying health conditions died because of COVID-19, said Washoe County Health District communications manager Scott Oxarart. It shows how powerful COVID-19 and the variants of concern are.

Kemaya Taylor, 23, the mother of the two children, was charged by prosecutors on Thursday with one count of open murder and two counts of child abuse. “The two children were found locked inside a bedroom,” Clark County Prosecutor Steven Rose asserted in a Thursday morning court hearing.
