Just was checking @tRAJectory 's awesome Tableau graphs and yikes, Pennsylvania...HV.1 is at the top here.

HV.1 is sooooooooo fast.

Also, nationally BA.2.86.1 is here now in multiple States (WA, OH, AZ, NY, MD) already.

I don't like this at all. HV.1 will be a force of nature if it gains FLip.

IMHO, winter is gonna be......something.

Lots of resources now available in the US for virus management/tesing.

Vaccinate

Go to vaccines.gov to look for places you can go to get an XBB shot.: https://www.vaccines.gov/

Make sure to call the pharmacy/office/etc. to confirm details of what you'll receive, lots of places only do virtual assistant scheduling.
