Evidence has shown COVID cases and hospitalizations tend to rise during the colder months when people congregate indoors. Some health officials warn the virus could surge again in December and January.
Currently, cases and hospitalizations are on the decline in the U.S. after having peaked in late July, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Those who are vaccinated and boosted are at much lower risk of falling severely ill and dying from COVID-19. CDC data shows unvaccinated Americans have a five times higher risk of dying compared to those who've received just a primary series and a seven times higher risk of dying compared to those who also received at least one booster dose.
Experts told ABC News that while vaccination is the best protection against COVID-19, some people may need to consider masking to protect themselves in case infections rise.

First: Prove that masks worked the first time.
Second: Article is based upon assumption, the assumption that there will a COVID surge.
I’m already noticing more masks on customers in stores.
Well, you’re in New York. I was visiting Maryland. Seems to be the same mentality over there. Covidists.
This crap needs to go away
Wearing a mask to keep a virus out is like putting a chain link fence around your house to keep mosquitos out.
Nuts! It’s like trying to stop a mosquito from getting to you with a chainlink fence.
💯
Wearing a mask to keep a virus out is like wearing underwear to keep farts from escaping.
If masks worked then we wouldn’t have had a pandemic, now would we.
I think originally any surge was to begin September...now we’re at December, January.
Depends on the peoples outrage at election fraud.
They don’t want people assembling.
Yep. Saw it early this morning, ~7:30am, at HEB and Walmart here in Central Texas (not Austin). Some customers and some cashiers/baggers with masks on. Most were the KN95 style. It's 90 effing degrees here today! Sheesh!
Paranoia strikes deep. Into your heart it will creep.
You would expect to hear from Dr. Fauci on CNN explaining that herd immunity is starting to kick in here. We'll continue to see cases but we won't see outbreaks like we did recently.
That controlling leftist bullshit is not going to fly anymore.
or making a pool out of a cyclone fence.
Masks, any mask will not stop an airborne virus.
Look at the BL4 lab protocols at Ft. Detrick, MD.
Done.
