        the issue is that it could spread to people who are a) allergic to vaccine ingredients b) immunocompromised c) unvaccinated (permanent disability is associated with some cases, like the inability to taste)

        They will double and triple, but hopefully, with the benefits of vaccine’s and treatment, they will be minor illnesses. Life must go on!

        And is that because more people got tested? Or the same # of tests had a higher positive rate?
