An excerpt:
"We are presently in a COVID surge. SARS-CoV-2 levels are increasing in wastewater across the United States and COVID hospitalizations have increased by 60% over 4 weeks, though hospitalizations are very low compared to the three last summers. The present wavelet is being caused by subvariants EG.5, FL151, and XBB1.16.6. It has been a while since people have had their last vaccination or COVID infection, so waning immunity is playing a role in this surge as well. JP Weiland calculated that there are now more than 600,000 new cases of COVID each day in the United States which correlates to a high level of community spread."
That number of 600,000 new COVID cases each day should be inspiring Americans to put on a good, protective mask, stop taking chances, and get vaccinated. Unfortunately, I don't see any of this happening, just the usual "it's just a cold" mentality and a complete disregard for themselves and others.
I personally am not willing to tempt fate by going out in public without a KN95 or N95 mask.
