D&D and the rising pandemic

To make it clear, this is so far only in Britain.

Yes, but the US has already contracted to buy 170+ million doses of bivalent boosters from Moderna and Pfizer for this autumn and winter. While it isn't available in the US, there's not much doubt it will become available.

Brought COVID back with me from a business trip. A few hours one morning coughing hurt, but that's luckily about it. Family, who went too, have tested negative so far and had no symptoms and so I'm sleeping and staying in the guest room and wearing a mask in the rest of the house. ::knock on wood:::

A colleague got it much worse but seems to be on the upswing.

It appears that that the schools down here are treating it (the current strains with a lot of folks either having had it or having been vaxxed) kind of like the flu in terms of not keeping kids home unless they have symptoms or a positive test. Here's hoping the subsequent strains don't make us regret it.

Given some of the erratic responses from the FDA from things, my own position is that I believe it when they actually make it official.

People and kids are getting sick recently all around me. My county shows that the infections are lower than much of the rest of the state, but the counties next door show much higher rates of infection. I wonder if there is something up with my county and they are miscounting or something?

Luckily it LOOKS like the cases are starting to drop in the counties by us, but a LOT of people have been getting sick recently, just not going to the doctor to get it checked out.

Well, you answer your own question - folks who don't go to the doctor can't be counted!

And Florida isn't known for keeping accurate records for Covid anyway.
