Here's an excerpt. It doesn't sound good:
"Here in the United States, JN.1 is taking off exponentially in the Northeast and Midwest. Using current wastewater levels, JP Weiland predicted that in the Midwest, East Coast, and Mountain states, 1 in every 27 people is currently infected with COVID, which is very high. In the South and the West Coast of the United States, about 1 in every 59 people is currently infected with COVID. This will increase as JN.1 rapidly spreads.
"As CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said in her recent video message, it is not too late to be vaccinated against the three circulating respiratory viruses (COVID, Flu, RSV). Dr. Cohen also urged people to take additional measures now like avoiding sick people, washing hands, improving ventilation, and wearing a mask. Only 16% of adults have gotten the updated COVID XBB.1.5 vaccine in the United States. The updated vaccine protects against all of the latest COVID variants including the exponentially growing JN.1. With Christmas two weeks away, there is still time to get the vaccine and have enough time to make neutralizing antibodies. Flu shots and COVID vaccines can be scheduled via vaccines.gov.
"Here in the U.S., COVID hospitalizations and Emergency Departments visits are increasing as the HV.1 wavelet is being pushed out by the formidable JN.1. The CDC update from yesterday stated that “the increase of this variant does not alter CDC’s COVID-19 recommendations, meaning that COVID vaccines, tests, and treatments continue to work well against the JN.1 variant."
---------
In other words, Americans should continue to ignore COVID and other contagious diseases and just refuse to do anything to protect themselves and others. Just what will it take to change their stubborn behavior?
