And yet, US COVID metrics, though they've gotten a bit worse, are fairly flat (cases only up 10% vs. 14 days ago). Some caveats, but if BA.5 already accounts for 80%+ of new cases, does not seem likely to replicate the worst surges of the past despite "worst variant ever" BS. https://t.co/h5S8g04rKf — PolitiTweet.org
