I’ve been to some movies and improv shows over the last few weeks mostly unmasked. had the hint of a sore throat here and there but never progressed - hollywood big shot Sep 5, 16:37
oh... then why the alarming increase in hospitalizations, a veritable 4th or 5th wave? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 5, 16:29 3
- I imagine the increase in hospitalizations would be a localized part of the puzzle based on lack of immunization/antibodies from previous rounds. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 16:38
- Here we're not seeing a rise in hospitalizations. My best guess is cases are rising as the vaccine and exposure antibodies wear off. -- nm - Krusty Sep 5, 16:35 1
  - that makes sense -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 5, 16:51
