The bolder displays many degrees of untrue.
Why do you lie? Covid hospitalizations are up 60% according to the CDC:

Yawn
Yes. And the acute covid hospitalization totals are even smaller than what the overall figures show. Covid hospitalizations include those i) with acute covid, ii) conditions related to covid -- i.e. get dehydrated from covid, fall, and break hip, and iii) asymptomatic positives for other unrelated admissions like labor and delivery. The acute covid component is a subset of total covid hospitalizations. Rhode Island breaks out its covid hospitalizations into these three categories. In August, only 1/3 of RI covid hospitalizations were due to acute, symptomatic covid.

My son just has an extremely mild case. I wonder what strain it was? Regardless, I’m high risk so I’ll mask again.

While the CDC said it was “too soon” to know whether BA 2.86 will lead to more severe illness in comparison to other variants, officials said that data from locations where it has been discovered have not shown any signs that it is particularly virulent. These areas have not seen signs of increased transmission – such as higher infection rates or emergency room visits – though CDC officials note it was “too soon” to analyze BA 2.86’s impacts based on these data.
This might be over your head but here you go:

I'd like to note that monoclonal antibodies DON'T work on BA2.86

This is highly mutated strain Pirola is indeed very concerning.
lol, a link to a reddit screenshot of a twitter quote as evidence. Where are the data showing failure of mabs?

The article did not say this new strain is driving current hospitalizations. It says that it is emerging at the same time as hospitalizations have increased. No one knows yet if this strain will become dominant or fade away.

"the BA.2.86 does not appear to be behind the recent summer uptick in COVID around the country."
That's even more worrisome if the current increase we are seeing right now isn't even the new strain. That's much worse!
No. There is no sign that the new strain is any different, severity-wise, from existing strains.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/heres-what-experts-say-to-know-about-new-covid-variant-ba286/ar-AA1fJXzu
""COVID-19 hospitalizations had already been rising around the country driven by less-mutated variants. So far, those trends do not appear to be worsening around early sightings of the strain. "At this time, locations where this variant have been detected have not experienced increases in transmission indicators (e.g., cases, emergency department visits) or hospitalizations out of proportion to those seen in neighboring locations," the CDC said in their assessment."
Covid hospitalizations remain near their lows even with the summer uptick. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklyhospitaladmissions_select_00

This is what we see time and time again on these threads non-mask wearers/covid deniers making it their personal mission to tell people to stop wearing masks! It's truly incredible!

Sorry to hear that. I've avoided COVID until this point, but I feel that my luck will be running out soon.
Glad the Paxlovid is working for you.
Thank you! Yes I was actually starting to think I had true immunity, given that I had escaped many exposures thus far.

There is a difference between giving a warning and getting "excited."
If you don't already have long covid, and don't want to mask, fine. Go for it.
