8:26Now PlayingFrom Lollapalooza to Pitchfork, Chicago has hosted its fair share of music festivals since the reopening of large-scale events. Not just only Chicago, but events and stadiums nationwide have reopened to welcome back patrons in packed stadiums and venues.
With COVID-19 cases on the rise, how safe is it to frequent these events?
Dr. Frita Fisher (@DrFrita) , Founder and President of Atlanta Nephrology, said there is a black and white answer, which is no, and there is a more practical answer, which is people are going to enjoy themselves and go to the games.
“We know right now, we have this Delta variant, we go more hospitalizations than we had last year around this time by 300%,” Dr. Fisher said. “We got 1,500 deaths a day. The numbers are high. The Delta variant is real.”
Dr. Frita Fisher shares more on “Start Your Day” with host Mike Hill.
