Happy Mother's Day to all who "mother" anyone in any way. In the interest of marking the day, there is very little coronavirus news out there. There is, though, a confirmed report of a case of monkeypox in the UK. Remember monkeypox? A computer model cited it as a potential new pandemic. What I've read suggests that it does not spread easily between people. You can read more about it here, thanks to the BBC. Scroll down a bit, and there's a section on what the symptoms are and how someone might catch it.
Other news bits include clear signs of a fifth wave in South Africa. The test positivity rate there right now is 31 percent. Here in Virginia, the test positivity rate is over 10 percent for the first time since February. The hospitalization rate for unvaccinated people is twice that for fully vaccinated people, and the death rate is 14 times higher.
Listen to a/your mother: Get vaccinated. Stay boosted.
