People tune out COVID news out because of coverage like this. Literally almost nobody in the US treats COVID as a top priority in polls. Maybe we eventually DO get a variant that is very deadly (even to people with immunity). People may ignore that too b/c of these headlines. — PolitiTweet.org

The infection fatality rate is likely to be *much* lower from BA.5 than previous variants like Delta. Yes, a lot of that is because of immunity acquired from vaccines and previous infections. But calling it the 'worst variant' is badly misleading. https://t.co/xY8pT3jp2e https://t.co/DihlmJnk8z — PolitiTweet.org

After 2.5 years of this pandemic, treat the reader with some respect. Don't try to scare or scold or shame them; it isn't working. They have some pretty good idea of the complex facts on the ground based on their own experience with COVID and that of their family and friends. — PolitiTweet.org
