He also cautioned, “We don’t know what comes after BA.4 or 5. I think if there’s nothing from left field, we’ll have a reprieve. But I reserve the right to modify that forecast if we have BA.6 that we’re dealing with.”

The issue has never been whether or not there will be variants or subvariants, or even how fast they will spread. We already know that respiratory viruses mutate.

The issue is and has always been how SERIOUS on average the infections are. Are they going to overwhelm our hospitals?
What percentage of those who are infected with these variants or subvariants will die?

COVID ANNOUNCER: Well, the American public in the field has fought long and hard to get back into this game, so with upcoming mid-term elections on deck in the next couple of innings, it is important for the Anti-Americans at bat right now to hold and extend their lead. Admittedly, it isn't looking good for them, as their performance has been extremely poor, and a shellacking looks to be in store for them. The Anti-American's CDC is at the plate right now with things heating up on the field, and [CRACK] THERE IT IS! A LINE DRIVE TO LEFT FIELD, JUST LIKE TONY CDC SAID HE WOULD! THE FANS IN THE STANDS ARE FUMBLING FOR THEIR MASKS, AND THE PLAYERS IN THE FIELD ARE BEING FORCED TO RUN TO THE SIDELINES FOR MORE VACCINE! TONY CDC IS ROUNDING THE PRIMARIES, HEADING FULL SPEED FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION! IT IS PANDEMONIUM! THE UMPIRES AREN'T EVEN WATCHING THE FIELD, AND ARE TALKING ABOUT EVACUATING THE STANDS AND FORCING THE GAME TO BE PLAYED ON COMPUTERS FROM THE PLAYER'S HOMES!
