The JN.1 variant has become a powerful strain across the country. Leading up to mid-December The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control reported a 10.4 percent increase in COVID-19 with a 3.4 percent increase in deaths during the same period. California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington D.C. have rules in their hospitals that masks are mandatory. Darn this COVID anyway. What are your thoughts on this virus still being around after so long?

All the more reason for me not to be around people and stores.. I think it is going to stay with us.

I even wonder about the delivery people. The kids don't wash their hands enough for me.

@RebeccasFarm .......I don't care for that gel but maybe they'd use that. They are so bad about washing their hands.

I talked to the staff in the hosp about it last week & all it is it's a NAME they put on reg sickness to keep every 1 scared & confused & masked up. I'm not buying it for 1 min I won't wear a mask knowing what they are trying to do to keep us from voting & getting a certain person in the W H.

I think it will always be around in some form or another. Happy New Year!
