I wonder about "reinfection". No data, but just from my circle of friends people that got it once seem to be getting it again, but milder. People that didn't get it yet, still aren't getting it.

They just keep on flogging that dead horse.

According to twitchy it gave them an excuse to avoid a possible embarrassing photo-op
The White House has reportedly told Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s office that due to the surge in COVID-19 infections in the US and Israel, the president will refrain from shaking hands.

Great movie, BTW.

I guess it's time to thin out the hospice herd again...

Agreed. It's amazing how many of Crichton's books were made into good movies (well, mostly good). This was one of the first.

The original 'Andromeda Strain' which to my mind, is much better than the remake.

Other experts point out that, despite being hit by multiple rounds of ever-more-contagious omicron subvariants, the country has not yet seen a dramatic spike in hospitalizations. About 38,000 people were hospitalized nationally with covid as of Friday, according to data compiled by The Washington Post. That figure has been steadily rising since early March, but remains far below the record 162,000 patients hospitalized with covid in mid-January. The average daily death toll on Friday stood at 329 and has not changed significantly over the past two months.
Are those national numbers a big concern compared to other causes?

My son has had Covid three times.

Annual total mortality works out to 7500-8000 deaths daily last I looked.
If 329 daily deaths were to hold for the yearly average that would put in between Alzheimer’s and diabetes

My 80-year-old dad decided he needed to come visit the last five days. He lives in a town with an average age around 60. He knows two people who have died with covid. Both over 80 and I know one was stage four terminal. He thinks covid is going to kill everyone.
He did not wear his mask here at the house but he did wash his hands every ten minutes for days. Driving four and a half hours by his old ass is probably more dangerous at this point.

One of my coworkers has had it at least twice, and suspects that he's had it at least two other times.

LA is talking mask mandates again.
