Covid-19's Back: Should You Worry?

[Tanjiro.Kamado]

Covid-19 levels are rising again in the United States, with emergency department visits up by 23.5% in the week ending July 6, and wastewater data indicating high viral activity. This uptick is mirrored in personal experiences and among public figures like second gentleman Doug Emhoff. This summer wave prompts questions about the reasons behind it, the necessity of renewed concern, and practical measures for reducing infection risk while maintaining normal activities, especially when traveling. It also raises questions about the timing of vaccinations, the efficacy of current tests, and appropriate actions if infected. For guidance, I consulted Dr. Leana Wen, a CNN wellness expert and emergency physician at George Washington University.

Good idea! It's always best to stay up-to-date on booster recommendations. Check with your healthcare provider or local health department for the latest guidelines, especially if it’s been more than six months since your last shot. They’ll give you the most accurate info for keeping yourself protected.
