What the Delta variant means for unvaccinated kids

LA Times  

If you are fully vaccinated and sending your kids off to camp or inviting their friends to sleep over, you might almost — almost — feel like the nightmare that was the COVID-19 pandemic is finally in the rearview mirror. To find out more about how the Delta variant will affect the youngest children, I spoke with Keri Althoff, associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. As the Delta variant continues to circulate and starts to dominate, it is something we’ll keep an eye on. As for schools, the Delta variant could affect how they open in the fall, but that’s still many weeks off, and a lot could happen by then. I think the best lesson we can take from the Delta variant’s effect on adults and families is we have to be a bit nimble in our decision-making.
