#1 Oooohhh, scary. Meanwhile, in the US, "Serious/Critical" cases (hospitalizations) have fallen from just over 26,000 on Jan. 22 to just over 4,000 yesterday.

51 days of non-stop decline.

#2 Any increase at all will be a "dangerous surge..."

#3 If it's a previous (or similar) variant it will pass. It is likely a new variant, mostly immune to the current vaccines. Good excuse for more interventional measures(economic, political etc.) And for a new vaccine and associated mandates.

#4
So do we have yet another new strain and one that is more tolerant of slightly warmer weather?

Some additional facts to chew on....
UK COVID-19

Also interesting to notehere we have a country with 64.8 Million residents, with 140.4 Million vaccinations given. Yet still continues to see interesting C-19/22 infection numbers.

Either way, as predicted, arriving just in time for a massive US Media Panic and likely new "LSD creative" Mid-Term Voting processes.

#5 Remember how Joe declared he wanted 75% of the US vaccinated by July last year? Instead, the number has been stuck at 60% since well before then. That's probably a hard ceiling, short of coerced at gunpoint vaccination.
