From the “article:” “hospitalizations and deaths are climbing steadily.”

I scanned the entire BS article looking to see a real number. How many hospitalizations? How many deaths? Just give us a true number and then we could compare that to the total population of the U.S.A. and make our own assessments of how dangerous this might be.

But, an actual number might lead to actual news “reporting,” and then where would that lead?

Don’t worry, it will peak somewhere around November of next year and then it will go away ... for a few years.

Yep. We will very quickly be outnumbered by those ready to be under the COVID mandates again. I wait to see what businesses, schools, and retail decide to do. I would like to believe we would punish those who decide to fall back into the traps of 2020-22, but our fellow man has disappointed us numerous times.

They’ve already admitted they inflated the numbers first time around. Why should we believe them now.

“our fellow man has disappointed us numerous times.”

That is my entire take away from the last 6-7 years : (

In other words, it’s the beginning of flu season.

I saw 3 or 4 Masked Ones at the ophthalmologist’s office today when I hadn’t before. Ironically, he is opposed to masks, as he had seen such a rise in eye infections in the masked ones during Covid.

When they breathed out, all the crap infesting the mask got blown up into the eyes.

OH NO we are all going to. die again.

I survived all the Army “vaccinations” and Viet Nam so I think I can survive this hoax again.

“the appearance of a new “highly mutated” variant has raised questions among virus trackers about what the coming months could hold”

Is the use of “highly mutated” here simply fear porn?
Because of Hollywood, many Americans are fearful of “mutants”.

And, what does that mean, “highly mutated”?
Most who have followed the COVID virus have always understood that advanced mutations always default to the foundational infectant.
In this case, the common cold.
At worst, influenza.

They have given it names (FL.1.5.1, &c.) and a label but...what are the symptoms?

I’m betting on: muscle aches, headaches, sniffles and post-nasal-drip cough.
