Looks like the latest covid wave in the US will crest in the next week or so, at least for the adults (right). Under-18s are still on the rise, will likely crash around school start. If so, that would be a close repeat of last year. 1/

We need better color differentiation on these charts that everyone likes to post ... some of us have difficulty seeing which line goes with which label.

Our school starts in August, because… reasons? Anyway. Three years ago, the kids brought covid home from school and I got horribly sick. This past week, the kids brought covid home from school again, and I’m once again quite ill. Maybe I should be getting covid shots every 6mo.

Agree that more people than just 65+ need to be getting COVID vaccines every six months.

I’m sure annual is fine for most people, especially if most people were to actually get theirs annually. But this is the second time I’ve had it, and it’s sucker punched me both times. So far it’s less bad this time, at least. This is promising.

My 51 yo son-in-law has gotten COVID 2-3 times every year despite following the set vaccine schedule and masking in public, and with no apparent immune dysfunction. 🤷🏻♀️

That super sucks. I’m really sorry. Both times we’ve gotten it, it’s because the kids have brought it home from school at the start of the school year.

Very common and, yes, one of the times he's gotten COVID.

Though, if the top is near, it's a very small summer wave by historic standards, and much smaller than last year. 2/
