The only reason I’m posting this is that I’ve seen several recent news articles talking about a new strain of COVID, most transmissible yet, new wave coming, better get vaccinated, and blah blah blah.
Well, yeah, IMHO if you remain concerned about or at risk from COVID, you should get vaccinated. FWIW, I got the most recent (bivalent) vaccine.
And, yeah, I guess there’s a new strain going around.
As for the rest if it, I don’t see it. When I left off just before Christmas, we had 21 new cases / 100K / day. Now we have 20. Nothing else to say.
