Cortes caught covid fully vaxxed:

    M.L.B. postponed the game because three Yankees pitchers — Nestor Cortes Jr., Jonathan Loaisiga and Wandy Peralta, each of whom is vaccinated — had tested positive for the coronavirus. General Manager Brian Cashman said three other players had tested positive through multiple rapid tests, and that the team expected those players’ laboratory test results to also come back positive.

If anyone with it went to the All-Star game, uh ohhhh :|.

MLB's high quality contact tracing could give us some insight into what sort of interaction(s) is enough to spread whatever variant this turns out to be through a vaccinated population. And insights into the sensitivity thresholds of the testing, etc.

Bummer, tho.
