Do you think the new Covid variant JN.1 is basically a nothing burger? I don’t think you have mentioned it at all. JP Weiland who has been a very acute modeler sees sharp rises of Covid in wastewater in Europe that correlate to increased hospitalizations. And the variant itself is quickly growing in terms of the percentage of Covid infections being JV.1.

I don't have any strong feelings about JN1. I'm still thinking a "normal" (say, like 2023) winter wave. But I'm prepared to be wrong.

Once again, Americans show how insipid they are. Rates of all these illnesses should have been greatly reduced had there been fewer anti-vaxxers and other idiots among us.
