"The White House recently received a sobering warning about the potential for the coronavirus to come roaring back, with experts reaching a consensus that there’s a roughly 20 percent chance during the next two years of an outbreak rivaling the onslaught of illness inflicted by the omicron variant. A forecast from one widely regarded scientist pegged the risk at a more alarming level, suggesting a 40 percent chance of an omicron-like wave. "
I for one am ignoring official COVID stats and focusing on excess deaths and wastewater readings since the government is winding down collection guidelines. Hospitals no longer report infections acquired while receiving care, there no lo longer subsidized PCR test sites, free COVID rapids are no longer available after May 11th.
