California’s FLiRT-fueled COVID surge is continuing to spawn infections at a dizzying rate, with coronavirus levels in wastewater reaching some of the highest levels seen since 2022.
Don’t know whether we have that strain up here in Washington, but about a month and a half back I got hit pretty hard, despite being fully vaccinated (in all fairness, I have a weakened immune system due to other conditions–I’m sure being vaccinated helped keep it mild). This was only the second time I’ve ever had it, with the first being caused by in-laws flying without masking.
Even mild, it really sucks. Keep your vaccinations up to date, even if you’re not high risk because you never know who else might be. Mask if you’re in a medical environment, like a doctor’s office, hospital, or pharmacy. You know where people get their COVID meds from? The pharmacy. Yes, wear a mask there.
