CHICAGO (CBS) -- It has been almost three months since city leaders dropped COVID-19 restrictions – but as we head toward summer, experts warn we could see more COVID cases.

As CBS 2's Sabrina Franza reported, Chicago is expected to become an area with high COVID-19 risk as soon as this week.

Meanwhile, we are also now hearing new reports of another disease – monkeypox – with cases popping up around the world and right here in the U.S.

Fear porn expert is more like it

[Dilbert San Diego]

ok, here we go again. Are we going to be told to shut down society again, because of the monkey pox?

Covid has more flavors than Ben and Jerrie’s Ice Cream.

[Gaffer]

They just don’t know when to quit. They are FRANTIC, F R A N T I C about the asskicking they’re gonna get in November and they can only spout COVID!!!!! MONKEY!!!!!! SMALLPOX!!!!! Screw them. Deaf ears here..... liars all.

[BenLurkin]

Monkeypox is almost entirely an STD.

[Maskot]

Right? Super Covid on its way! Cuz the “experts” prolly got new government funding (oops! I mean “instructions)

[1Old Pro]

Covid has more flavors than Ben and Jerrie’s Ice Cream.

And just as annoying

[Clemenza]

Public Health authorities = the boy who cried “variant.”

[lightman]

Monkeypox is going be a spoiler for “Pride Month”.

Also going to make life fun in Provincetown.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

If the variant is still Omicron, then it’s getting more stable. Just a cold with fear-porn wrapping.

[zeestephen]

More contagious for those with natural immunity?

Or, just for those with multiple vaccinations?

[BipolarBob]

Folks, don’t worry. This fairly harmless not-very-contagious virus isn’t that big of deal. But don’t be discouraged! The Wuhan lab is currently working on a “gain-of-function” workup to correct that. We don’t want no weakly virus but a robust hard to treat virus to make more money for BigPharma.

Expert? What expert?

*Top men. Top men.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The common cold is EXTREMELY contagious.

I certainly hope we don't hear about a case of the common cold happening anywhere anytime soon.

[Allegra]

…but as we head toward summer, experts warn we could see more COVID cases.

{yawn…}

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The Top Men are concerned about COVID, while the Bottom Men are concerned about Monkeypox.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Yesterday I went shopping for the first time in a while. I went into about a dozen stores with hundreds of shoppers in each. Only a few of the shoppers wore masks.

It was nice knowing you all.

[ByteMercenary]

My son called monkey-pox ‘Covid MT’ ... ‘MT’ means Mid Terms.

[EC Washington]

The Dim-wit News readers in Chicago are actually smiling as they scream out that “Covid is Back” !!!!!

[fireman15]

In Western Washington we have a resurgence of people wearing masks when driving alone in their cars, walking alone outside, and even bicycling. I haven't bothered watching the local news, but I assume that they are busy spreading nonsense as usual.

Arnold goes full retard.
