“So we know now that vaccinated people who get breakthrough infections can spread the virus to other people,” Fauci said. “The fundamental basis for the CDC modifying their guidelines and saying now, ‘If you’re an area of a high or substantial trend of level of virus, namely a red or an orange zone, when you’re in an indoor public setting, you need to wear a mask.’ That’s the fundamental reason for that change.” Source: Fauci: Amount of virus in breakthrough delta cases ‘almost identical’ to unvaccinated | TheHill

Day 61/67 of GED in Five Months, language as a function of context, and Adult decision-making as a function of community

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Our language varies based on the context in which that language is used. Mathematical language always has a very specific meaning and a precise context: the mathematical context. We use words everyday that have different meanings, precise meanings, in different contexts. An Adult must understand the specific meaning of a given word before making decisions that will affect anyone, including just themselves, since our decisions never really affect only ourselves, do they?
