We may see a "significant thinning of the MAGA herd"--by their choice. Happened in the early 2020s, and we all know (paraphrasing here): Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

And, as we saw in 2020, any reports that MAGAs are suffering from preventable conditions, will be declared "fake news". Regime control of the media seems much tighter now, so don't expect wide reporting of future outbreaks, like we saw of measles outbreaks, some months ago.

How many heard about this, a month ago, in spite of the media's tendency to stoke hysteria?


What to know about rising COVID-19 cases and the surging "stratus" variant

Driving the news: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday upgraded national wastewater viral activity for COVID-19 from "low" to "moderate."

Wastewater levels for COVID-19 are highest in the Western U.S., according to a CDC map, with levels peaking in Alaska, California, Colorado, Nevada and Utah.

The Southeast also has higher wastewater activity levels, with Louisiana having the most nationwide, according to CDC data recorded from July 27 to Aug. 2.
