It's been a few months since our last Covid-19 check in episode, so I welcome back Dr. Preeyam Patel to chat about the Delta variant, breakthrough cases, vaccine boosters and more! The science is presented in such a way that a layperson such as myself can understand, as with our previous episodes!

Topics in-depth:
- Will Covid become endemic, like the flu?
- Why the so-called "free" vaccine may not actually be free in the US
- All things Delta variant. What makes it more contagious? How effective are vaccines?
- Here are two graphs that show the differences in variants (One) and (Two)
- WHAT ARE BREAKTHROUGH cases, and what happens in the body when they occur?
- The Korean study on viral load, which serves as a Provincetown event rebuttal
- Is the mutation of variants intelligent? Will a Covid variant one day bypass all vaccines?
- How can we get the entire globe vaccinated easier and stop continued variants?
- Regarding children, how is vaccine approval going, and what are schools doing against masks?
- How are we currently staying safe?

Here's the overall Sources Cited document from all our episodes including this one, that Pree keeps up to date: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10KhFPu739N16C6X3Lltz3LBWMYON7Lld2yPB5y0zbUs/edit?usp=sharing
