Concern grows... Among the media since they're running out of things to report.

Why is government all of a sudden became concerned on your wellbeing?

New Covid variant comes out faster than new iPhones. Now there is Delta Plus variant in India, which is a lot more transmissible than Delta.

this country cares more about making money than the safety of the American people tell me im lying

[brendenwright]

[nathanielanderson]

I disagree about us all being safe. We don't know how fast this virus is evolving.

Traveling is not all that great.. exhausting delayed.. short staff traffics everywhere.. every place u want to go, millions want to go too.. long lines.. crowds.. ppl rush to go just to rush to go home

*How To Lie With Statistics:* When cases go down 90% from their peak and then rise by a mere 2% of the total range, that's a 20% increase from the bottom. A blip becomes a "surge"!

You are protected from the Delta virus after vaccination? Honestly, every doctor is saying something different.

Just curious. Wasn't the Covid-19 first called that, because it was originally discovered in 2019? If so....with the new variant cropping up....will it be rebranded as Covid-21?

These people are out to celebrate a holiday. They don't care about COVID. Get a grip on reality.

[mattt]

Did she say watching fireworks, outdoors if possible? Lol

[peterkerns]

It must be true if it's coming from NBC news

[savysimon]

I’m vaccinated and still using common sense. I still wear a mask when I’m around a lot of people and have my sanitizer on deck. Just be safe out there yall!

[nickbeakburg]

I am fully vaccinated and staying home. I will never remove my mask!

[NinaF]

When can I travel to the Uk if I’m fully vaccinated without quarantine

[ryankendrick]

Same lady said impending doom 3 weeks ago

[CxDubxU]

I'm cowering in fear in my home as I'm typing....
