## What Jamie wrote

I’m super excited at the positive vaccine news we have had recently, but we shouldn't confuse a vaccine to be delivered in a few months with the explosive transmission happening now. 

> It’s time to buckle up and lock ourselves down again, and to do so with fresh vigilance. Remember: We are barely nine or 10 months into this pandemic, and we have not experienced a full-blown fall or winter season. Everything that we may have done somewhat cautiously—and gotten away with—in summer may carry a higher risk now, because the conditions are different and the case baseline is much higher.

I feel strongly that families should be making their own fact-based decisions. Political leadership has stumbled, but that doesn't mean anything for your household. Time to lockdown as the winter approaches.
