Giving Up on COVID

From Fortune Well: "'Everyone is kind of tired and has given up’ on COVID. But this new variant is ‘one to watch,’ the WHO says."

"The World Health Organization has its eye on a new COVID variant thought to be driving a new surge of cases in India—at a time when reported cases are down in much of the rest of the world. XBB.1.16, dubbed 'Arcturus'  by variant trackers, is very similar to U.S. dominant 'Kraken' XBB.1.5—the most transmissible COVID variant yet."

How you can give up on a deadly virus that's killed millions is a mystery to me, but unmasked fools continue to behave recklessly.

And from The Guardian:  "Covid booster vaccine to be offered to millions in England next week. Care home residents will be first to receive spring top-up jab as infections in England hit 2023 high."

I sure hope we're allowed to get this second booster here in America, despite Biden's assurance that COVID is over!
