    The US is currently in its second biggest spike of COVID infections ever. At the estimated peak on the 11th, they’re expecting 2 million new infections per day. The current strain going around is supposedly different enough from the ones the vaccines up until September were designed for that it is effectively immune to those vaccinations.

    COVID never left, and in fact the more recent strains have been more infectious and more severe than the original ones were, but we haven’t heard much about them because basically everybody who can be is vaccinated.
