WNU Editor: A hundred world leaders with their delegations (and some of these delegations are large) are going to be in New York city this week .... and many of them are probably not vaccinated. So yes, there is a very real possibility that this may become a superspreader event.

Regular readers of this blog know that in past UN General Assemblies I have worked as a translator. The money is excellent, and it is fun to be in New York City for a few weeks.
I was asked this summer if I wanted to work this month.
I said no, because I know safety protocols are not going to be respected.
