>>Currently riding the end of a week-long period here, with cramps so bad I could feel them in my *knees*. Bodies.
Ugh, no thank you. Bodies indeed. Isn't it fun to be this age.
>>I'm hearing that this summer's wave is the highest since the pandemic began
Of course, each way to measure cases will give a different answer and will have a reason for fluctuating from 2020 to now -- like how death rates are lower in part because so many of the vulnerable have, well, died, and also vaccines -- but what I have seen (example) shows that the FLiRT wave, while it's catching many people who'd evaded COVID so far, is not as bad as the initial outbreak or the first appearance of the omicron variant. So that's good.
