>> well, it's a critical step but it's not enough. i worry very much about what's going to happen this fall. as you're seeing right now, we're seeing the most number of kids hospitalized with covid since the very beginning of the pandemic. and those numbers are continuing to increase. delta basically is a somewhat different virus in kids than it was these strains of virus that we had a year ago. when we first generated data showing that kids didn't transmit nearly as frequently, they didn't get infected often themselves, and they surely didn't get in serious disease that often. this is a different virus. this is not your strain of a year ago. and what we're seeing now are kids frequently are transmitters, they're easily to get infected, they can get very sick. and i think that the school opening that we're seeing happen right now is a collision course with destiny. i think clearly we are going to see major outbreaks, and that's why the most we can do is bubble the kids as much as possible. teachers, any adult in a school setting should be vaccinated. i strongly support dr. fauci's
