The Next COVID Crisis

Sigh… it seems like this pandemic will never end.

This is WHO data for the entire world. There are clear spikes from December 2020, April 2021, September 2021, and right now. For the US, the data is a bit different, but cases are also going up again.

Finally, data from Orange Conty. It does look like cases are picking up here too. I do not know if that is because of the Omicron variant, or just the consequence of everyone meeting up for Thanksgiving.

For me, I still have not left the house that much. Other than doctor appointments, I am still only traveling to my sister’s house, the local Albertsons, and meeting some friends for lunch last Friday. Our department is still having a holiday party at a rented house in Hermosa Beach, but I have already declined the invitation. Likewise, our church cell group is having dinner at a local Korean shabu-shabu restaurant. I think the place will be super crowded, and everyone eating out of one pot is not a good option for me at this time.

The FDA did announce approving an antibody shot for immuno-compromised people. I think I will make a new post for that.

Oops, forgot why I was posting about this topic in the first place. I have been seeing a lot of news about continued protests regarding vaccine mandates. With more people testing positive and death rates not going down, I really cannot understand these idiots. I also read that these anti-vaxxers want to get antibody shots if they get sick. Whatever happened to not putting anything “untested” into their bodies?
