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 — who should get them?

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

@augieray I would like to see better air and more people wearing masks, but I do have to say that the NZ winter is not seeing an uptick of cases at the moment (including wastewater data). Is there any reason for that? None that I can see. And yet.

@va2lam @augieray there are plenty of cases. I would have good reason to believe that reports are just no longer published or published correctly.
