It seems Covid is not making it into the news anymore.
Does anyone have any idea how many cases are now being reported?
Are there any outbreaks in the United States?

I have a friend who is a hospital microbiologist. He says he hardly ever sees it in his samples anymore. It has evolved in to a bad cold type of virus. It surely isn't like the early days when it killed a high percentage of folks.

Covid is so..Old School.
The new Monkeypox is gonna be a Worldwide Killer for sure.
I was getting pretty worried till I read to catch it you pretty much need to have sex with a gay guy from Rwanda...That put my mind at ease but your milage may vary...

It seems Covid is not making it into the news anymore. Does anyone have any idea how many cases are now being reported? Are there any outbreaks in the United States? People do not seem to be dying as often any longer.... But at least in Florida.... In the last two months cases are on the rise in Florida... Passing last winter's peak....
Florida has the worst increase of Covid in the US...... I was very sick at the end of March Both Influenza A and B... That went in to Pneumonia in both lungs and Sepsis... After I got out of the Hospital.... My Primary said he wanted to boost me again for Covid... but wanted to give me time to bounce back and not put any strain on my system... He was thinking Mid July..... Then in Early June he called me and said the rates in Florida were skyrocketing.... He did not feel like we could wait any longer on a booster... even if the booster made me a little sick... We could not afford for me to get full blown covid right now..... I went in, he examined me.... Boosted me.... I had no reaction. My wife went in and got boosted... She had a sore arm..... A few days later at my Hematologist... He said the same thing... We need to boost you.... He was glad I already had another booster.... At the practice where my Hematologist is at... About 90 percent are cancer patients... They have gone back to the height of Covid protocols... Everyone wears a mask and you get your temperature taken before they let you inside... My Niece's husband got covid two weeks ago, My niece got it, both of their little girls got it... 4 years and 7 months old, My Nephew and his wife and their little girl got it, my sister and her husband got it..... All from my niece's husband and they were together before he had symptoms....
Covid is never going away... It is now just like Influenza..... People are going to get it.... Most it will be no worse than the Flu... .A few immune compromised elderly and sick people are going to die.... And based on data from the last couple of years.... while influenza seems to be worse in the winter... Covid likes the summer.....

Covid throughout various stains has not affected children nearly as much as adults...... The younger the kid, the less it affects them... Unless they have another underlying medical condition. It has been that way since the first cases of Covid... And has shown no signs of morphing into something that affects kids at a serious degree... |

It killed enough. Glad it's weakened and fewer people are affected.

It appears to be a “flu” type illness we’re all going to put up with. It definitely isn’t or shouldn’t be a politically driven issue any longer.

Let's ignore the past.
Sound like a good idea?
