There is clear evidence that COVID-19 is on the rise in New York City, the U.S., and other places around the world, but the late-summer surge in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths is so far more like an uptick than a wave, and those numbers remain low. Thereโ€™s also a new highly mutated variant called BA.2.86 on the scene and a newly updated COVID booster shot on the horizon. Below is what to know โ€” and why not to panic โ€” about the state of COVID as we head into the first fall and winter since the official end of the U.S. and global public-health emergencies over the coronavirus.

“Tsunami of new cases” will be next. How about a “rouge wave” of the new strain.

"What to know"

Is what we tell you you must know. Your own conclusions and actions are treasonous MAGA poison.

When will we be free to use another term other than COVID-19 for the seasonal flu? Everything is now a variant of the original manufactured virus. Amazingly, all other forms of influenza have apparently disappeared. Enough, already!

biggest scam in the history of mankind .

followed by a Mini Scam

perhaps this one will call for string bikini style "mini masks" and abbreviated mini-PCR tests companies can force their employees to take over a phone app

instead of refrigerated semi trailers they can fit all the bodies of the "COVID" victims into apartment sized mini refrigerators

a new highly mutated variant called BA.2.86

As someone else has pointed out --

"86" is slang for "get rid of something".

BA.2.86 is an engineered Biological Agent To 86 you.

I have yet to hear of anyone actually dying from this new strain.

In other medical news, there's a new strain of acne going around. I have my bunker all stocked up...

What to Know About the New COVID Mini-Wave

Get a mini mRNA injection, which is mini-safe and mini-effective, and wear a mini-mask just in case....

Seems about right. Fauci was a mini-doctor, though a mega-bureuacrat and mega-lomaniac .
