6:04Now PlayingDr. Bernard Ashby, a cardiologist in Florida, joins BNC’s Najahe Sherman to urge Americans to take precautions as the CDC issues warnings against Labor Day travel this weekend.
August was one of the worst months of the entire pandemic, with 26,805 Americans dying from the virus. ‘Mu’ is the name of the latest COVID-19 variant and according to Sherman, is said to be resistant to vaccines. Dr. Ashby says variants will consider to appear but for now, Delta is still the dominant strain and hasn’t yet been overtaken by others. “If you’re unvaccinated, you are literally a sitting duck. So, if you are immune-naïve, you should sit this one out,” he says, adding that they’re expecting to see another surge when Labor Day ends.
All this and more on “Start Your Day.”
