Coronavirus week 102: Another surge ahead?

The New York. Times wonders if the BA.2 variant now running through Europe will hit the US in late spring. Actually, in Tex-ass, and other "southern tier" states, this would be about the start of summer, with air conditioning systems running, and unlike in the cases of mild winters, people probably not wanting to eat outside as a safety measure in many of these places.

And, no, we're not ready, with federal money for monoclonal antibodies and antiviral pills drying up.

Meanwhile, the pandemic's ongoing supply chain disruptions (on top of the Russia-Ukraine war) are fueling inflation. Joe Biden and talking head Jen Psaki can jawbone oil companies as part of this, while remaining silent about all the other non-oil corporate price gouging. #BlueAnon will ignore that inconvenient fact, of course.
