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.

Last week we had seven people out of the office with covid.
Every one except one of the seven was double or triple vaxed.
Out of the seven, five are back in the office. The two that are still out are both smokers in their 50s.

Out of 50+ people in our office, we are down to TWO people that have NOT had covid.

There was an article earlier that the monkey virus was spread through sexual contact such as HIV. Is there any basis for that statement???

In other words... Monkey’s pox is not working as well as we thought it would.
We need to stay on ‘Coof’ agenda, for now.

Although we’re working on other diseases (so we will be ready if we need vaccines) for the good of the country and a fair election. More drop boxes will be needed. Woo-Hoo!

BTW: Has anyone found that one infected monkey from that vehicle crash?

Most old celebs just can’t give that lime-light up. Poor old man.

I have to admit that the BMW Superbowl ad that they came up with for him was entertaining. And he has managed to get himself looking better than the slobbish creature he had devolved into. Like you said, attention is what old celebs thrive on.

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.

Masks have almost disappeared in my area. I only see them on rare occasions. It’s been that way for a few weeks.

The Karin’s began showing up here with masks in rising numbers a month ago. I would love to see a survey of them which may show they voted for bidet and are pro abortion

This could be a blessing in disguise! When half to all of the homos in D.C. contract it, they won’t be able to pass their insane pet legislation.

Gee, no more coverage of the mystery pediatric hepatitis cases.

Go figure.

Monkeypox is almost entirely an STD.


Fetish clubs and orgies so far.

The contact tracing has identified ‘fetish clubs’ and gay orgies as the centers of infection so far. Historically, the disease requires at least ‘close physical contact’ to transmit.

Yup. Looks like they dusted off a few of those old “anybody can catch AIDS” ads since it’s cheaper than writing new material.

A friend of mine was called to fill in for a pastor who caught covid. Later, the pastor called to tell him church was cancelled due to 20 people in the church coming down with covid. Oregon

Have you ever noticed that most of the eyes above those masks look angry and somewhat hateful? On the rare occasion I see a mask now, I sort of assume (at least in most cases) that they’re TV-addicted Biden supporters.

I work at a company with 20 employees. All have been multiple vaxed, but me. Almost everyone there continually told me they were worried about my health because I refused to get vaxxed. I am 68 years old.

Me an two others never caught COVID. Most of the multi vaxxed had it two or three times.

Horse paste and zinc, vitamin D3, etc.work.
