In the days since WHCD weekend, reporters and staffers from CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, Politico, and other participating news organizations have tested positive for the virus. Most notably, ABC's Jon Karl, who shook hands with President Biden and who sat next to Kim Kardashian, has fallen ill, as Politico's Maxwell Tani first reported.
There is no exact data to indicate precisely how many people have caught the virus from the weekend. But, anecdotally speaking, much of Tuesday afternoon seemed to consist of attendees trading text messages and emails about colleagues and friends and people they had seen who had tested positive. That's almost certainly going to continue in the days ahead...

Wait, vaccines actually keep people from getting the virus?

Vaccines mostly keep them from getting seriously ill or dying if they do get the virus, and reduce their transmissibility after if indeed they get the virus.

Is that why more vaccinated people are dying from the virus than unvaccinated?

To paraphrase @jon-nyc 's comments, if the vaccination rate is 100%, every COVID-19 death will be among the vaccinated.
My understanding is that about 70% of the country is vaccinated.

More Americans died in 2020 than Russians. That means Russia is safer, right?
I was only joking

It's all in how you handle the data, my friend...

Right, so you really didn't fix anything.

Fix? Maybe too broad a term. In the 65+ world, it made a difference.
At least for awhile.
