You're on Twitter … you've probably seen suggestions that we all mask up again. (Remember when President Biden was walking around with two or three masks?) NBC News' Lester Holt tells us that COVID-19 is making a comeback.
Covid-19 cases on the rise and a new booster is in the pipeline

A new booster in the pipeline? Serious question: How many COVID boosters has President Biden had? Six? Seven? I had the vaccine and one booster and that was the end of it for me. And then I caught COVID anyway after picking my daughter up from a convention. Should I say the line? I'm just thankful that I was boosted or else the symptoms would have been much worse. I missed one day of work and felt fine the next day.
Even CNN's Jake Tapper eventually admitted it would be helpful to know how many people died from COVID and how many died with COVID. What did Joe Biden say that one time? Twenty million people died of COVID?
"Covid is making a comeback."

The FEAR mongering.
The media is the VIRUS 🦠 https://t.co/MLx9GXFk1S
Speaking of the media, the headlines seem to be coordinated:
The WHO, CDC, Biden Admin are fear mongering a new COVID variant BA.2.86 after highly mutated strain reported in Michigan.

Sources in DHS and Emergency Management (my field) are already preparing for lockdowns and restrictions.
Look at todays headlines. It’s a coordinated… pic.twitter.com/VZASyPIB1S

I do occasionally see elderly people signing up for the booster, and perhaps they should. But I remember writing about pieces of mothers fretting because there still wasn't a COVID vaccine approved for six-month-olds.
