Panelists will be asked questions such as...

Cases have risen from an average nationally of about 10k per day to now 40k in the last few days: how has "reopening" and lifting of mask mandates fueled this increase?
Reports are that upwards of 95% of new infections and 99% of hospitalizations are unvaccinated: how can these hold-outs be convinced?
Could a new variant get past the vaccines?
How have the demographic impacts changed - are minorities and people living in poverty still disproportionately affected?
Media: Do you have some questions? Feel free to email them to [email protected] or bring them to the panelists on camera during the event.
