Summer COVID surge shows we may have to return to 2020 pandemic measures
The Hill ^ | 08/29/24 | Aron Solomon

As summer 2024 draws to a close, the U.S. finds itself once again grappling with a surge in COVID-19 infections.

This wave has taken many people by surprise, particularly as the country has largely consigned the pandemic to the past. While public life has pretty much returned to pre-pandemic norms — something almost none of us would have believed in the summer of 2020 — the virus itself has not.

Mutations of the virus continue to occur, and new variants are emerging, posing ongoing challenges to public health and safety. As we look ahead to the remainder of 2024 and into early 2025, we need to take stock of where we are, understand the factors driving this resurgence and better anticipate how the pandemic might evolve.

The recent surge in COVID-19 cases has disrupted summer travel plans, overwhelmed healthcare facilities in certain areas, and left many Americans dealing with the familiar symptoms of fever, cough and fatigue. The summer months, typically associated with lower respiratory virus activity, have instead seen a significant uptick in COVID-19 infections. Several factors contribute to this unexpected surge.

Just in time for the Jamaican banana boater voter election season. The RATS will demand they be allowed to go from house to house to collect “ballots”.

Aron Solomon can STFU. Americans will not be locked down again.

As a rule, your comment would be crude & rude. Under the circumstances, however, I applaud your restraint and politeness.

Around here those symptoms are likely caused by smoke inhalation. We’ve had a pretty rough fire season this year.

We assume everyone suffered under Covid protocols but this isn't true.

A significant number of people loved it! They loved working from home. They loved wearing masks. But mostly they loved the power they were allowed to wield in berating others for not being properly masked or social distanced in public. They want that power back.

"I really miss not being able to yell at women in the grocery stores when their mask slipped below their nose."

Same here. I, personally, blame Climate Change for the fires. Even the huge one that was started by a psychotic, child-molesting arsonist...
