   It seems that it's been a busy COVID-19 season, but with the attractive   
   feature that emergency room visits and hospitalizations seem to be much   
   lower than in previous high infection waves.   
      
   Updated vaccines may be available soon.   
      
   (My own COVID-19 encounter was two years ago, after a trip to   
   Pensacola., and temperature was my main symptom. Vaxxed before and   
   after.)
