#2 As Greg Gutfeld said last night when talking about Walz's role in perpetuating the hoax, COVID was dangerous to a small percentage of elderly people and an annoyance to just about everyone else.

#3 Colds and influenzas spread during the winter because in the higher latitudes that’s when people huddle together inside to keep warm. In the lower latitudes people go inside during the heat of the summer so they can enjoy the air conditioning. Hence the double hump seen back when we were graphing Covid-19 infections, and why reports about a nasty version of Covid going round now should not be surprising.

As for the poor Olympic athletes, among the many horror tales about the housing Paris provided is the fact that in the heat of a Paris summer they were not provided air conditioning — so many teams brought plug-in units. I imagine there’s lots of huddling together to cool off. With, naturally enough, the sharing of infections.

#4 Everyone I know who has flown on a plane recently comes home sick. The ones who get tested say they had covid but the infection clears in a week or so. The ones who don't get tested say they might have had covid but the infection clears in a week or so.

Before I retired, long before covid, my company would send me to different cities from time to time. I got sick from those airplanes on a regular basis. Instead of using fuel to pump fresh air into the cabins, the airlines would recycle the old air. Gross. Now I hear they run the air through some kind of ultraviolet light to kill germs but it doesn't seem to do any good. I'm not flying anywhere these days.

#5 Yeah Abu, almost every time I fly I come home with some sort of sinus infection. Luckily it clears up in a couple of days.

I do try to drive to most needed destinations now, unless there's a serious time constraint (or over an ocean). It may not be the cheapest way to travel, but it avoids the chaos and wierd and dodgy fellow travelers.

#6 Everyone I know who has flown on a plane recently comes home sick.

Mr. Wife used to get sick every time he went to a new country. Each had its own set of variants of Covid and other things. Until recently that was assumed to be a side effect of jet setting — though I assume it wasn’t much different travelling domestically.
