What the XBB.1.5 variant is telling us.
And what we can do about it.

The coronavirus is speaking. It’s saying it’s not done with us.

The newest dominant strain of covid shows that it's a mistake to let down our guard.

@erictopol Thank you for your efforts!

Science is wonderful, but when it is distorted and employed irresponsibly to make a pandemic seem over when it is not, then we need to call out those who are doing this. Their words and deeds will contribute to more illness and death.

@MitchellA @erictopol Excellent article. I’d like to see a poll and subsequent analysis of news sources people use for information, official and unofficial, on the virus and pandemic. My own unofficial and anecdotal ‘polling’ in my rural community dashes any hope of people receiving accurate, reliable and credible information. Some of the comments I hear makes me question the average mental state & intelligence of people.
