On July 27, 2021, CDC released updated guidance on the need for urgently increasing COVID-19 vaccination coverage and a recommendation for everyone in areas of substantial or high transmission to wear a mask in public indoor places, even if they are fully vaccinated. CDC issued this new guidance due to several concerning developments and newly emerging data signals.

First, a significant increase in new cases reversed what had been a steady decline since January 2021. In the days leading up to our guidance update, CDC saw a rapid and alarming rise in the COVID-19 case and hospitalization rates around the country.

In late June, the 7-day moving average of reported cases was around 12,000. On July 27, the 7-day moving average of cases reached over 60,000. This case rate looked more like the rate of cases we had seen before the vaccine was widely available.

Second, new data began to emerge that the Delta variant was more infectious and was leading to increased transmissibility when compared with other variants, even in some vaccinated individuals. This includes recently published data from CDC and our public health partners, unpublished surveillance data that will be publicly available in the coming weeks, information included in CDC's updated Science Brief on COVID-19 Vaccines and Vaccination, and ongoing outbreak investigations linked to the Delta variant.

Delta is currently the predominant variant of the virus in the United States. Below is a high-level summary of what CDC scientists have recently learned about the Delta variant. More information will be made available when more data are published or released in other formats.

Infections and Spread

The Delta variant is more contagious: The Delta variant is highly contagious, more than 2x as contagious as previous variants.

Some data suggest the Delta variant might cause more severe illness than previous variants in unvaccinated people. In two different studies from Canada and Scotland, patients infected with the Delta variant were more likely to be hospitalized than patients infected with Alpha or the original virus that causes COVID-19. Even so, the vast majority of hospitalization and death caused by COVID-19 are in unvaccinated people.

Unvaccinated people remain the greatest concern: The greatest risk of transmission is among unvaccinated people who are much more likely to get infected, and therefore transmit the virus. Fully vaccinated people get COVID-19 (known as breakthrough infections) less often than unvaccinated people. People infected with the Delta variant, including fully vaccinated people with symptomatic breakthrough infections, can transmit the virus to others. CDC is continuing to assess data on whether fully vaccinated people with asymptomatic breakthrough infections can transmit the virus.

Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others. However, vaccinated people appear to spread the virus for a shorter time: For prior variants, lower amounts of viral genetic material were found in samples taken from fully vaccinated people who had breakthrough infections than from unvaccinated people with COVID-19. For people infected with the Delta variant, similar amounts of viral genetic material have been found among both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people. However, like prior variants, the amount of viral genetic material may go down faster in fully vaccinated people when compared to unvaccinated people. This means fully vaccinated people will likely spread the virus for less time than unvaccinated people.

Vaccines

The COVID-19 vaccines approved or authorized in the United States are highly effective at preventing severe disease and death, including against the Delta variant. But they are not 100% effective, and some fully vaccinated people will become infected (called a breakthrough infection) and experience illness. For all people, the vaccine provides the best protection against serious illness and death.

Vaccines are playing a crucial role in limiting spread of the virus and minimizing severe disease. Although vaccines are highly effective, they are not perfect, and there will be vaccine breakthrough infections. Millions of Americans are vaccinated, and that number is growing. This means that even though the risk of breakthrough infections is low, there will be thousands of fully vaccinated people who become infected and able to infect others, especially with the surging spread of the Delta variant. Low vaccination coverage in many communities is driving the current rapid surge in cases involving the Delta variant, which also increases the chances that even more concerning variants could emerge.

Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself, your family, and your community. High vaccination coverage will reduce spread of the virus and help prevent new variants from emerging. CDC recommends that everyone aged 12 years and older get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Masks

At this time, as we build the level of vaccination nationwide, we must also use all the prevention strategies available, including masking indoors in public places, to stop transmission and stop the pandemic. Everyone who is able, including fully vaccinated people, should wear masks in public indoor places in areas of substantial or high transmission.

Some folks want to hang out in the Harry Potter world. (Warner Bros./Everett Collection)

For most Harry Potter fans, the only way to stroll through Diagon Alley is to visit the reproduction in Orlando's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park. Kristin Dattoo wouldn't need to make the trip from her native Ontario, however. Instead, the 19-year-old would just shift her consciousness.

You read that correctly.

"Any reality you can possibly think of exists somewhere out there in the universe," Dattoo said. "So, by reality shifting, we're just shifting our awareness so we can live in those realities."

In other words, the theory goes, if you wanted to see what your life would be like if you had made different choices, or if you wanted to live in the Harry Potter world or visit the planet Tatooine in the Star Wars universe, all you have to do is "reality shift" - switch your consciousness to the right parallel universe.

It's become an increasingly popular trend on TikTok, hitting a fever pitch earlier this year when TikTokers began supposedly shifting to the Harry Potter universe to visit Draco Malfoy en masse. The hashtag #dracomalfoy, which includes many videos related to reality shifting, reached 24.4 billion views. Meanwhile, #shiftingrealities has more than 1.7 billion views. Dattoo's YouTube video titled "How to Shift Realities 101" has amassed more than 1.3 million views.

Many of the more popular videos feature an influencer detailing how to move between universes, though some find shifters describing what happened on their latest adventures. This ranges from fighting in the Clone Wars to becoming romantically, erm, engaged with Draco Malfoy - why Draco of all people is part of an ongoing Internet discussion. According to practitioners of reality shifting, you can reasonably spend as long as you'd like in any given world. Just try not to die there, because you won't be able to revisit it.

Everyone seems to define the practice differently - and arguments surrounding what it is and how to do it abound.

Most people shift by entering some sort of meditative state, or a hypnagogic one - that place between sleep and wakefulness that occurs naturally as we drift off each night.

Some conflate reality shifting with lucid dreaming, the scientifically accepted phenomenon in which a person becomes consciously aware during a dream. Or with astral projection, the more spiritual concept of intentionally creating an out-of-body experience. Some claim you can move your actual body to a parallel universe - but most do not.

Laura Rosser Kreiselmaier, a Nashville-based holistic psychotherapist, said "it seems to be maybe a form of self-hypnosis." She noted that "altered states of consciousness have been around as far back as we know," citing people claiming to have "mystical experiences" and others "taking some sort of substances or drug to change their consciousness."

She believes, though, that reality shifting is a fairly new concept - one that might be flourishing because of world events.

"There's such an existential crisis that ... younger generations are dealing with, not knowing if our planet is going to be around to sustain human life and future generations. Then the covid pandemic has interrupted childhood, youth, young adult rites of passage as well as normal life," she said. So, it isn't surprising "that people are trying to figure out how to cope or how to maybe induce for themselves a, quote, 'reality' that's more pleasant."

Can astrology make sense of cryptocurrency? Maren Altman and a million TikTok followers think so.

The concept existed before TikTok but didn't truly take off before landing on the platform. Dattoo said she first learned of the practice in 2015, but it was connected to witchcraft, which turned her off from the idea. Years later, she stumbled upon it again on TikTok. She continuously tried to enter a meditative state to shift, but it didn't work - until one day when she woke from a dream to find herself in her "waiting room," a term shifters use for an in-between state. Hers took the form of an "aristocratic house." "It really freaked me out," she said.

Dattoo says that now "I literally wake up" in a different universe, citing the time she spent living in the world imagined by the anime series "My Hero Academia." During that time, as she explained it, her body in our current reality was essentially on autopilot.

TikToker and YouTuber Jambasmurf said she discovered it through her practice of Buddhism. (Jambasmurf spoke on the condition that The Post not use her real name, citing previous instances of threats and harassments.) Her version sounds much closer to a form of deep meditation that she calls "subconscious lifting." She grows slightly frustrated by the argument that reality shifting means moving one's physical body to a different universe.

"Oh my God. It drives me nuts. ... No one knows how to do that," she said. "I mean, if they're doing something that takes them to Hogwarts or whatever, then great. Good for them."

Eventually, the trend caught the eye of Californian-based YouTuber James Rallison, who goes by the moniker The Odd1sOut. The 25-year-old produced a nearly 10-minute animated video in which he criticizes the theory of "reality shifting" for his 16.9 million subscribers.

"They're dreaming," he says in the video. "Shifting happens when you fall asleep, and if you fill your subconscious with things from your desired reality, would you be surprised that you had a dream about Hogwarts?"

He points out, for example, that if all fictional villains actually exist in a parallel universe, and if anyone can shift between said universes, then why wouldn't they come for us all?

"Are you telling me there's a chance Voldemort could download TikTok and reality shift here?" he says in his video. "If you go to Hogwarts, you're leading Voldemort right to us!"

Rallison said he stumbled upon the trend while watching a compilation of "cringe" (Internet-speak for embarrassing) videos. At first, he thought it might be a joke but soon realized it was anything but.

"There was very little pushback on reality shifting. I thought I was taking crazy pills," Rallison said. "I kind of had to put my foot down and say, 'Hey, this probably isn't healthy, tricking your mind into going into a different reality and not your current one.'"

The true believers, however, don't mind these attempts at debunking.

"There are people who think I'm crazy in my family. But I'm like, 'It's fine.' I know it's real, and if you don't know it's real, if you don't want to believe in it, I can't change your mind," Dattoo said. "I'm gonna go on and have fun in those realities, and you can stay here."

Bleacher Report catches you up on the latest news from the WWE Universe.
McIntyre Supports CM Punk Joining AEW
CM Punk signing with All Elite Wrestling has taken the wrestling world by storm, and even one of WWE's top stars sees the value in the move.

In an interview with Pro Wrestling Bits (h/t WrestlingInc.com's Sai Mohan), Drew McIntyre was asked about Punk's arrival after more than seven years out of the professional wrestling business.

McIntyre said:
"If anything, it's good for wrestling. That's what I'm all about. I was outside the company between 2014 to 2017, working in the independents and with Impact, and just trying to make wrestling a healthier, better place, and it's healthy right now. "It's an incredible place. Obviously, WWE is still at the top and leading the charge, and anything that can make it better, I'm all about. So, yeah, it makes a positive difference. It gets a thumbs up from me."
Punk made his AEW debut last Friday on Rampage in front of his hometown crowd in Chicago. His arrival wasn't officially announced ahead of time, but the assumption that he would be there led to fans packing the United Center.

His first in-ring appearance since January 2014 also helped Rampage score a solid rating, as over 1.1 million people watched despite the 10 p.m. ET timeslot.

Punk took in the adulation from the fans, cut a heartfelt promo and set the stage for his first match in seven years by challenging Darby Allin to a meeting at All Out in Chicago on Sept. 5.

Although WWE remains atop the pro wrestling world in terms of size, scope, profit and any number of other metrics, there is undoubtedly a buzz surrounding AEW thanks largely to Punk's arrival.

Even if it doesn't lead to AEW overtaking WWE as the No. 1 wrestling promotion anytime soon or ever, Punk helps further establish AEW as an alternative for fans who want to watch multiple different forms of pro wrestling.

As McIntyre alluded to, he helped put Impact Wrestling and some other promotions on the map following his WWE release before returning and becoming a multi-time WWE champion.

The wrestling business as a whole is better when multiple companies are succeeding, and that is currently the case.
Edge Possibly Moving to Raw
Some hints on WWE's website may be pointing toward Edge moving from SmackDown to Raw in the near future.

According to Mohan, some sections of WWE Shop list Edge as a Raw Superstar rather than SmackDown despite Edge having been on SmackDown since winning the Royal Rumble earlier this year.

Edge was primarily on Raw before that when he feuded with Randy Orton in 2020, so it is unclear if the listing is old or a foreshadowing of things to come for The Rated-R Superstar.

At SummerSlam last week, Edge defeated Seth Rollins in a grudge match by making him tap out. It seems unlikely that their program is done yet, especially with Extreme Rules on the horizon.

One logical booking direction could be to have Rollins beat Edge and cause a storyline injury, which would allow the veteran to take some time off and resurface on Raw in the future.

There has been some speculation regarding a WWE draft or roster shake-up occurring in the fall, although WWE has yet to make any official announcement.

If that does turn out to be the case, moving Edge to Raw as part of the draft is a possibility, especially since the red brand is in desperate need of some star power and fresh talent.

There aren't many strong challengers for WWE champion Bobby Lashley right now, but Edge could be a big-time threat and quality choice to take the title off The All Mighty.

Edge has not won a title since returning to WWE last year after a nine-year retirement, but it is likely a matter of when rather than if he wins a championship.
WWE Reportedly Wants WALTER in NXT Regularly
On the heels of WALTER dropping the NXT United Kingdom Championship to Ilja Dragunov at NXT TakeOver 36 on Sunday, WWE is reportedly hoping for WALTER to take on a bigger role.

According to PWInsider (h/t Mohan), there was "a lot of talk" within WWE after TakeOver that WALTER is needed on NXT rather than NXT UK.

WALTER has made many appearances on NXT in recent years, but they have been fleeting, as he has primarily been tied to the NXT UK brand.

Now that WALTER's nearly 900-day NXT UK title reign is over, however, there seemingly isn't much left for him to do in NXT UK.

Meanwhile, he could be a top heel on NXT and potentially a candidate to win the NXT Championship off new titleholder Samoa Joe.

The main issue with that is WALTER is a European-based Austrian who hasn't shown a desire to relocate to the United States.

In May, WALTER appeared on WWE After The Bell with Corey Graves (h/t WrestlingInc.com's Marco Rovere) and said he was "never too keen" about leaving Europe for the United States.

WALTER added that one reason for that is he never viewed WWE as a realistic goal. Now that WALTER is in WWE, however, perhaps there is a chance he will change his mind.

At TakeOver 36, WALTER and Dragunov battled in one of the best matches in pro wrestling this year, and they both seemingly helped their stock in the process.

If it is at all possible to get WALTER on NXT programming regularly, it would be a massive coup for the brand and a great way to showcase one of the top performers in the company on a more consistent basis.

http://maplecroft.com/about/news/child_labour_2012.html
Child labor risks are rising around the world, including in supply-chain countries, according to a new report from Maplecroft.

The number of countries where entrenched underage work practices pose "extreme risks" to children has jumped 10 per cent in the year to 2012, to include 76 of the 197 nations studied. Even the US, ranked 141st, is said to represent a "medium risk", alongside Cuba, Georgia and Kuwait.

The global hike, which Maplecroft attributes to a deteriorating security situation worldwide and increasing financial desperation in the wake of of the 2008 meltdown, could have legal and reputational implications for companies that source goods from the developing world. Major suppliers like the Philippines, India, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Brazil are some of the worst child labor offenders.

But even those nations pale in comparison to these shockers.

The duration of manned missions to Mars may not exceed 4 years due to the risk posed to its members by radiation from the Sun, distant stars and galaxies, according to estimates by an international group of scientists who they published recently his findings in the journal AGU Space Weather.

Researchers from the Skólkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Russia), the University of California (USA), the University of Potsdam (Germany) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) evaluated the impact of cosmic radiation on the health of the crew members, as well as the limitations imposed by the weight of the spacecraft on the shielding materials, simulating its propagation of the particles within it.

Specifically, the scientists analyzed how two main types of dangerous radiation - solar energetic particles (SEP) and the galactic cosmic rays (GCR, for its acronym in English) -, whose intensity depends on the activity of the Sun, influence different human organs and affect the spacecraft.

The calculations showed that the optimal time to fly to the red planet, which lasts about 9 months, corresponds to the solar maximum, since the intensity of the GCR, the most aggressive type of radiation, decreases during the 6-12 months after the peak of solar activity. However, even missions that started during solar maximum could not exceed 4 years, since, after that time, the crew would be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation.

Likewise, it has been found that the use of materials potentially capable of providing additional protection against cosmic radiation is conditioned by the maximum allowable weight of the aircraft. In addition, over time, the materials used can start emitting radiation themselves.

In any case, the study shows that such a mission " it is feasible", despite the fact that" space radiation imposes strict limitations on how heavy the spacecraft can be and at launch, and presents technological difficulties for human missions to Mars, " asserts Yuri Shprits, a geophysicist at the University of California and one of the study's authors.

This article is about in Texas you have to have an abortion before the 6th week and if its after that you will not be able to have an abortion and you will have to consider different options or even travel out of state, Texas lawmakers haven't decided if its unconstitutional.

From Leticia Sanchez-Mata

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Doctors and advocates reported a steep decline in abortions across Texas.

A day after the nation's most restrictive anti-abortion law went into effect, doctors and advocates reported a steep decline in abortions across Texas.

Houston provider Dr. Bhavik Kumar said he normally performs between 20 to 30 abortions a day. Since the new law, he said he's only seen six patients -- and was forced to turn half of them away.

"Just yesterday I saw somebody who thought she was earlier in the pregnancy, but once she got here and had her ultrasound, found out she was much further along," said Kumar, who works out of a Planned Parenthood. "She was crying and we began to explore options and think through the logistics of if she would be able to go out of state for the care that she needed."

The new law bans physicians from providing abortions "if the physician detects a fetal heartbeat" including embryonic cardiac activity, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, and stipulates that any private citizen can sue a person who they believe is providing an abortion or assisting someone in getting an abortion in Texas after six weeks. A plaintiff could collect at least $10,000.

A 2018 study done by the National Institute of Health found that on average, women reported pregnancy awareness around five and a half weeks. As it applies to the study, this means an average pregnant woman would have a very slim margin to make a decision and appointment under the new Texas law.

Nearly 90% of women who are seeking abortions in the state are past their sixth week, abortion rights advocates in Texas told ABC News Thursday.

The Supreme Court formally refused to block the Texas abortion law Wednesday night, citing technical and procedural reasons.

In a 5-4 decision, five conservative-leaning justices voted to let the law remain in effect, without determining if it is constitutional.

For now, most women seeking abortions in Texas have been forced to do so in other states.

Rebecca Tong, who operates an abortion clinic in neighboring Oklahoma, said she's become inundated with out-of-state calls.

"The phones have just been ridiculous," said Tong, co-executive director of Trust Women. "About two-thirds of our call volume right now is Texas people."

Tong said her average schedule consists of appointments for about 15 women a day. Since the law in Texas, the number has more than doubled.

"For a five to 10 minute procedure, to drive 600 miles in the middle of a pandemic," she said. "It's cruel."

The coronavirus pandemic has had an enormous impact on the planet in all facets of life. Now, a new study has quantified just how big that impact has been on the global economy: a loss of $3.8 trillion and 147 million people without jobs.

COVID-19 has had an effect on all countries around the globe, the researchers noted; in particular, the travel industry has been especially hard-hit in areas like Asia, Europe and the U.S.

However, the international team of researchers also found the pandemic and the corresponding lockdowns resulted in the "biggest-ever drop in greenhouse gas emissions."
CDC'S 'BEST ESTIMATE' IS 40 PERCENT COVID-19 INFECTIONS ARE ASYMPTOMATIC
"We are experiencing the worst economic shock since the Great Depression, while at the same time we have experienced the greatest drop in greenhouse gas emissions since the burning of fossil fuels began," study co-author Dr. Arunima Malik said in a statement.

"The contrast between the socio-economic and the environmental variables reveals the dilemma of the global socio-economic system - our study highlights the interconnected nature of international supply chains, with observable global spillover effects across a range of industry sectors, such as manufacturing, tourism and transport," Malik added.

In their research, the experts found that nearly 3 billion people were asked to stay at home because of lockdowns, including more than 1 billion in India. Thirty-eight regions around the world with 26 different industry sectors were observed for the study.

The 147 million people who lost their jobs, either through furlough or layoffs, resulted in $2.1 trillion in lost income. Of that amount, $536 billion came from a reduction in international trade.

"Ironically, the loss of connectivity imposed to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 has triggered an economic 'contagion,'" the researchers added.
REGENERON SIGNS $450M DEAL AS PART OF 'OPERATION WARP SPEED' FOR CORONAVIRUS ANTIBODY COCKTAIL
Other industries that have been severely impacted include energy and finance, with "the indirect effects transmitted along international supply chains are being felt across the entire world economy," the researchers added in the study's abstract.

In contrast to some world leaders, the researchers warned that lifting the COVID-19-linked lockdowns "too soon could result in more severe and prolonged economic impacts."

In particular, several states around the U.S. have seen resurgences in coronavirus cases, with many public health officials saying these states reopened too soon, resulting in rollbacks or paused reopenings.

In May, Fox News reported that the U.S. Treasury was poised to borrow more than $3 trillion for coronavirus relief. Other governments around the world have taken similar actions.

Despite the severe negative impacts on the global economy, the researchers also highlighted the significant drop in greenhouse gas emissions. They estimated the lockdowns have resulted in a drop of 2.5 gigatons, or approximately 4.6 percent of normal.

The researchers said that the PM2.5 particulate dropped approximately 3.8 percent, while sulfur dioxide, which comes from burning fossil fuels, dropped 2.9 percent.

"In addition to the sudden drop in climate-change inducing greenhouse gases, prevented deaths from air pollution are of major significance," Malik explained.

The researchers used data up until May 22, 2020, to come up with their conclusions. The study has been published in PLOS One.

Two electrical workers in Alabama were killed while repairing power lines downed by Hurricane Ida, Pike Electric confirmed Wednesday, bringing the storm's death toll to six. The news comes as southern states continue to recover from the storm's damage.

"We are continuing to investigate a tragic accident that occurred in Alabama yesterday that evidently took the life of two of our employees," Pike Electric Vice President James Banner said in a statement Wednesday. "Our prayers are with each of their families."

Ida, which made landfall in Port Fourchon, Louisiana, on Sunday, left more than a million residents in that state and others without power. Crews are racing to repair downed lines as forecasters are predicting that some parts of the state will see a heat index value - a measurement of how temperature really feels - of up to 106 degrees, triggering two heat advisories. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has encouraged residents to stay alert while making repairs from the storm's damage as conditions could still be dangerous.

The storm killed four other people. One person died after a tree fell on their home in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, the sheriff's office announced. In New Orleans, a man died trying to drive through floodwaters, according to the state's health department. Two people died in George County, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency announced Tuesday.

Meanwhile, in St. Tammany's Parish, Louisiana, a 71-year-old man was reportedly killed by an alligator while moving through floodwaters. The death could be characterized as storm-related after an investigation by the local sheriff's office is complete.

At least 1,300 people have been rescued in Louisiana and Mississippi, according to state officials.

Ida has weakened but continues to move up the East Coast as a dangerous storm.

Retired Navy SEAL sniper Jack Carr revealed the truth about the beginnings of U.S.-Middle Eastern warfare on the newest episode of Fox Nation's "Tucker Carlson Today.

"Carr described American relations with Afghanistan to be "all wrong" immediately following 9/11 when the Bush Administration shifted focus to Iraq and away from al Qaeda.

"Another interesting thing that happened in 2001, while I was doing those ship boardings and while the guys were in Tora Bora asking for reinforcements, is that President Bush asked retired Army Gen. Tommy Franks to come to Crawford, Texas and asked him to draw up plans for the invasion of Iraq," he said.

"So the focus shifted very early on from Afghanistan to Iraq. So when we should've really been flooding Tora Bora with troops and crushing our enemy at the time, we're now starting to think about Iraq."

The Ex-SEAL explained that what followed in Jan. 2002 was a push for nation-building in Bush's state of the union address, once again deterring interest away from the enemy.

"Very quickly we shifted from crushing al Qaeda to not giving it the support it needed, to Iraq and to nation-building at the same time," he said.

The president of the U.N. Security Council said it won't take its focus off Afghanistan this month.

Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason spoke as Ireland assumed the rotating presidency of the U.N. Security Council.

Nason noted the protection and promotion of human rights for women "must be at the very heart of our collective response to the crisis."

"We want to see human rights issues addressed in Afghanistan and in particular the rights of women and girls. We have echoed what Michelle Bachelet, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said this week, it is a red line issue," Nason said, according to Raidió Teilifís Éireann.

"The measure of the Taliban and their plans for their new phase in Afghanistan will be how they treat women and girls, and we will absolutely hold them to account on that," she continued.

President Biden on Wednesday held his first meeting with a foreign leader since ending the war in Afghanistan.

Biden hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a long-sought meeting at the Oval Office. The meeting had been postponed two days due to the military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"The United States remains firmly committed to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian aggression and for Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic aspirations," Biden said.

The Associated Press reported that Biden didn't mention Afghanistan in a brief appearance with Zelenskyy before cameras.

"At a difficult time for the world and the United States ... still you found time for us and we're thankful for this indeed," Zelenskyy said.
