Covid Surge In Full Force But Most Now Shrug It Off.

“For the third year, Americans are greeting the unofficial start of summer shadowed by the specter of the coronavirus amid rising covid-19 cases and hospitalizations across the country.
The United States is recording more than 100,000 infections a day — at least five times higher than this point last year — as it confronts the most transmissible versions of the virus yet. Immunity built up as a result of the record winter outbreak appears to provide little protection against the latest variants, new research shows. And public health authorities are bracing for Memorial Day gatherings to fuel another bump in cases, potentially seeding a summer surge.”
Covid 19 is here for the 3rd summer in a row but Americans are so over it that few are taking any precautions to stem the viral surge. Restaurants and airports are packed to the brim with people who want to get out and experience life to the fullest once more. Unfortunately, the virus still lurks and is in the middle of a major surge that is sending thousands to the hospital. Experts now hope the vaccines and boosters continue to hold serious infections to a minimum.
