I truly believe the Northern hemisphere is in for a rude #COVID19 awakening this fall and winter. COVID continues to mutate, immunity is fading, new booster uptake will be minimal, repeated infections will have weakened many people's immune systems, and everyone wants to pretend COVID is gone.

As I slowly recover from my first infection, I can't imagine why people would want to risk multiple infections. I'll do my best to make this my ONLY infection.

New COVID jabs are coming β€” who should get them?

Countries rolling out updated vaccines weigh whether to restrict them to high-risk individuals.

@augieray it's madness, especially considering that multiple infections increase one's risk of #LongCovid. And even here in Hawaii, I see fewer people masking. 😱
@BruceMirken @augieray Same here in France. It’s a nightmare!
