I May Be Wrong, But It Doesn't Sound like COVID Is "Just a Cold"

This headline is from Fortune magazine's Fortune Well section:  "COVID levels are so high, they’re hovering near 2020’s initial peak, as the WHO urges those at high risk to take any booster they can get their hands on."

This sure doesn't sound like "it's mild" to me.

"'Vaccinating and boosting with any available version “remains vitally important to saving people’s lives now,' officials said."

"While the United States’ 'variant soup' remained largely unchanged Friday, according to new data released by the CDC, experts continued to sound alarm bells about a rising proportion of variants that share the same concerning mutations."

"Once again this fall and winter, no one variant may gain a major advantage over others, experts say. But variants with the 'flip combo' likely to become dominant and pose this season’s largest issue." 

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd much rather be safe than sorry.
