Dr. Rutul Dalal, Medical Director, Infectious Diseases, UPMC Susquehanna, on the new mild COVID-19 variants—what are they so widespread, and why aren’t we panicking?  We’ll ask—to vax or not to vax, and if so, when?  Also how many times can you get COVID, are hospitalizations and death rates rising, and what good is a vaccination?  I’ll ask what level of precautions we should be taking (masking, etc.), and what to know about the fall flu/COVID season starting soon. What should parents know?
