Public Service Announcement #2

Individual-level protection.

None of this variant stuff changes what you need to do on an individual-level right now.

Unless, of course, if you weren’t doing anything at all.

Get vaccinated. Get boosted. Ventilate spaces. Use masks.

Test if you have symptoms. Isolate if positive.

And encourage others to do the same.

I confess I am not exactly looking forward to it, either, for the same reasons, but--as an old French saying goes--

"If the wine is drawn, it must be drunk"

--and, as long as one is alive, there's hope...:)

P.S.
