Summary

Covid cases are surging across the U.S. post-holidays, with rising test positivity, hospitalizations, and deaths, while booster uptake remains low.

Only 21.4% of adults and 10.3% of children have received the latest booster, leaving vulnerable groups, including the elderly, at higher risk.

Experts warn of continued dangers from Covid, including long Covid and economic impacts, as the virus has not yet reached an endemic state.

With uncertain federal priorities, researchers stress the importance of monitoring infections, updating vaccines, and using preventive measures to mitigate future waves.

        Preposterous as an American, I know all nationalities, cultures, and races both originate and are only located in bald eagle land… sometimes I do wonder though like I tend to assume most people I interact with are from the US, but do folks from Brazil or New Zealand assume they are chatting up fellow citizens of their country?
