Alarming COVID News From Australia

We definitely want to avoid this scenario in the United States:

"Queensland Health sound alarm over spike in COVID transmission rates as hospitalisations double, new subvariant surfaces

"Health authorities have reminded Queenslanders to get their updated COVID booster shots, especially elderly and vulnerable people, amid a period of rapid transmission across the state."

"It was prompted after hospitals across the state saw an unusual admission rate of COVID-infected patients this week, with a total of 146 cases currently active compared to just half the number two weeks ago."

I remember when the COVID experts used to say that what happens in England and Australia will eventually happen in America.

In my trips to the supermarket, I am always amazed by the number of frail, elderly people who are not wearing masks.  These are breeding grounds for germs, but nobody seems to care.

And that's the problem, especially going into the holiday season with COVID, flu, and RSV all around.  

When if ever will people wake up from their stupor and finally take viruses seriously?
