COVID will likely reach levels this winter not yet seen this year, combining with surges of flu, RSV, and other pathogens for a “syndemic” winter not so different from last year’s “tripledemic,” experts say.

Raj Rajnarayanan, assistant dean of research and associate professor at the New York Institute of Technology campus in Jonesboro, Ark., told Fortune that the U.S. is a “sitting duck” in the face of a “syndemic” winter.

Same things here when I had H1N1. We decided to wait and see. Closely watched. About 18mos gone. Didn’t know what it was

Glad you are OK. Scary stuff when going through it. The waiting is hard to endure too. Too many things go though the mind when waiting. Anxiety tends to set in even when we don’t recognize it- stress from it all

Only masks and mail-in ballots can save us!

Despite our dire peril, at least we still have people who coin stupid cutesy names for things that are ostensibly serious

More like SCAMDEMIC.

Best fried chicken I ever age was at Forest City, Arkansas just to the South of Jonesboro. That was in 1964 driving to DC for training at Ft. Belvoir.

In the New Year, the Bidet Regime will introduce the 2024 Election year variant for another fraudulent election.

Amazing coincidence that it is happening again on an election year, what are the chances!

And how many people had white spots on their lungs for months after pneumonia, flu, or chest cold but didn’t know it because they never had X-rays?

I myself had periods after walking pneumonia or a bad cold when for a couple months I could feel my lungs were not once they once were. Then they got back to their old selves

It’s insane. I regret having lived long enough to live for the apocalypse. I really wasn’t counting on that. I’m a tween- too young to retire yet and thanks to the BS since Covid- now I will never get to and I’ll be working until I drop dead (the sooner the better) and too old because I remember hope and a great country and those memories just increase the pain.

The “flu” has now become COVID.

COVID is DEAD AND GONE, but they MUST keep the “scare” factor alive, so ALL flu like illnesses (even colds) are now COVID.

I REFUSE TO MASK!

I REFUSE TO DISTANCE

I REFUSE TO VAXX
