She writes, "We are in a new COVID surge caused by the JN.1 variant with 1.1 million new COVID cases each day in the U.S. now. The World Health Organization (WHO) put out a special advisory on December 19th warning that due to its rapid spread, JN.1 was upgraded to a variant of interest. On a global level, the WHO said that JN.1 is low risk for causing a new pandemic, but combined with other winter respiratory viruses (the Flu, RSV, and “common childhood pneumonia”), JN.1 may push some hospitals and emergency rooms to their limits. The WHO now recommends that everyone wear masks in clinics and hospitals and that healthcare workers taking care of possible COVID patients should wear N95 masks (respirators) and personal protective equipment (PPE) like gowns and gloves."
Why people are still so stubborn about wearing masks and getting vaccinated is beyond me. You'd think that those with any common sense at all, reading about this surge and seeing these charts and graphs, would all be eager to do so. Instead, their selfish resistance is only making things worse, and that makes me very angry.
