Here's an important excerpt, but make sure you read the whole thing, and check out the charts and graphs:
"It’s beginning to look a lot like… JN.1 season around the world. The JN.1 COVID variant, a descendant of the very mutated Pirola BA.2.86, continues to skyrocket around the world as it becomes globally dominant. After JN.1 became dominant, hospitalizations spiked significantly in the Ile-de-France (Paris and its suburbs in France) which may be related to the sheer number of people infected. When the JN.1 variant became dominant in Singapore, there was a 500% increase in SARS-CoV-2 viral wastewater levels within three weeks. The updated XBB.1.5 vaccine offers good protection against JN.1 and other circulating variants and can help reduce severe infections and hospitalizations for COVID.
"As I was writing this newsletter today, JP Weiland tweeted a new warning, 'Witnessing some of these record setting wastewater signals is now MANY European countries after Pirola (JN.1) dominance is eye opening. We have to prepare ourselves for at least the *possibility* that we see a very large spike in the US in coming weeks.' According to Dr. Wolfgang Hagen on his blog, Austria is seeing extremely high wastewater SARS-CoV-2 levels and this is associated with a large increase in hospitalizations."

I don't know about the rest of you, but I certainly don't want to end up in the Emergency Room this year, or any year!
