One of the highest ROI things I do: If you have a business coach or are in a CEO peer-group Each year, ask the coach/chair to interview the people that work most closely with you. Get anonymized data on how you can improve. Turn that into making yourself better. Repeat.

Berlin never stopped masking. Medical grade required everywhere indoors. Workplaces and schools test everyone 2-3 times per week and ventilation is really important. If you want to eat indoors or attend events it’s either a vaccination, test or recovered within 6 mos.
It's not just Delta. Two countries with the same time course of Delta dominance yet notable divergence in spread and fatalities
