Summary

The CDC said yesterday that fully vaccinated people should wear masks in indoor public settings in counties where the transmission rate is "substantial" or "high," after new evidence showed that a vaccinated person could transmit the Delta variant of COVID to others. President Biden may also begin requiring federal employees and contractors to be vaccinated or face regular testing. Four U.S. Capitol police officers testified to a House committee about the violence, racial attacks, and fear for their lives they experienced during the January 6th insurrection. The House panel into the riot will likely hold its next hearing before the end of Congress’s August recess. Plus, one of What A Day's new co-hosts Priyanka Aribindi joins us for headlines: airports face jet fuel shortages, Simone Biles pulls out of an Olympic event, and the U.S. government sells a rare album once owned by Martin Shkreli.

0:00.0	It's Wednesday, July 28th. I'm Eheela Hughes. And I'm getting a rest
0:09.2	second. This is what the day the sustainably made podcast produced from recycled cardboard
0:13.2	beds from the Tokyo Olympics. Yes. Basically, you pour water on the beds to turn them into
0:17.7	a pulp, then you save the beds as an MP3. Yeah. And somewhere in that process, the squishy
0:21.7	wet cardboard becomes our voices. Yeah. Science is amazing. On today's show, we share what stood out to us
0:33.2	from the first hearing of the House panel into the January 6th insurrection. Plus, Simone Biles and
0:38.4	other Olympians take a stand for their mental health. That's right. But first, another important
0:42.5	update on the pandemic in the US, the CDC said yesterday that fully vaccinated people should wear
0:46.9	masks in indoor public settings in counties where the transmission rate is either, quote, substantial
0:52.8	or, quote, high. So as for where those counties are, well, if you live in the United States, then you
0:58.0	are most likely in one of them. Yeah. From seed is shining seed. There is a lot. And we'll link to
1:03.6	the map of that CDC data. So you can see for yourself. Additionally, the CDC updated its recommendations
1:09.3	for schools to reopen in the fall. It actually now suggested universal masking regardless of vaccination
1:15.0	status. That too is going to be left up to localities as per usual. Hmm. So, you know, this guidance
1:20.7	is a reversal from what it said for vaccinated folks back in May. Why, Gideon, why, what's changed?
1:27.7	What's changed? What's different now? Well, we are in some shit, aren't we? Uh, mostly some new
1:34.2	information and data that officials shared about the Delta variant. So I was on this CDC briefing
1:39.6	call yesterday and Dr. Rochelle Wolensky said this, which really, really jumped out at me.
1:44.1	Information on the Delta variant from several states and other countries indicates that in rare
1:50.7	occasions, some vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant after vaccination may be contagious
1:58.8	and spread the virus to others. This new science is worrisome and unfortunately warns an update
2:07.6	to our recommendation. So to reiterate there, what Wolensky is saying about Delta that makes
