Fully vaccinated people are not only less likely to become hospitalized or die, they're also far less likely to spread the virus (despite some confusing public health messaging around this second point). So here's what we know about the places where transmission is the highest right now, and places where the spread isn't as bad as people might think: Where COVID Is Spreading The Most Right Now Inside restaurants and bars Throughout the pandemic, it's been pretty clear that restaurants and bars are sources of COVID-19 transmission, and recent evidence suggests that continues to be the case.

Environmentalists already see fish migrations dwindling in tributaries of the Klamath โ a warning of further decline to come โ and tribes no longer can count on fish as a source of food and a central part of their culture.
