A new essay on why the White House cannot forget that it's most important job remains defeating COVID here and everywhere - and delta is reminding us that we have a lot of work to do.
Maybe the White House could bring in someone like this from all 50 states for a meeting, and help create both national and local press around these stories. These folks could become important ambassadors.
