Update on BA.2

Katelyn Jetelina, Your Local Epidemiologist, has an update on the uptick of cases of BA.2 across the globe and what it means for the United States:

"Throughout the pandemic, the U.S. has lagged Europe trends by a few weeks. Right now only ~10% of our cases are due to BA.2. But once this starts reaching the 50% threshold, we can expect cases to start increasing. This combined with removed mitigation measures should land us with an uptick in April/May."

I'm glad she's paying attention to these important things for us, because the pandemic is certainly not over.
