July 15 RAC Convocation
Dear Colleagues,
The Resilient American Communities (RAC) Convocation on Thursday, July 15 will focus on the next phase of the pandemic in the U.S. and the opportunities to save potentially millions of Delta variant infections and thousands of lives in the United States during the start of the school season, during Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. We will look at whether the July 4 holiday created a bump in the daily new cases, infection rates, and positive test rates. Just in the past two weeks we have already seen early indicators of COVID infections increasing particularly in areas with low vaccination rates most likely from the more infectious Delta variant. The data clearly shows that new infections are over-represented in Red states and communities, particularly in their minority and rural and inner city poor populations that are more vulnerable and have low vaccination rates, as well as less use of effective behavioral and social methods to reduce COVID transmission.
Please join us:
11:00 AM – 5:00 PM Eastern Time Thursday, July 15, 2021
Zoom onboarding and networking during these RAC Convenings will start at 10:30 AM ET.
