"COVID is in the headlines again, and this time the media hook is a
particularly nasty sore throat dubbed “razor blade throat”. The new variant,
NB.1.8.1, is a recombinant with a complex lineage, and may be divergent enough
to create a significant summer wave. Right-wingers, as usual, have decried the
appearance of COVID in the news and insisted they will refuse to comply with
any public health measures aimed at controlling disease spread. Many liberals,
conversely, appear interested in the news. Unfortunately, years of minimizing,
ambiguous, and just plain false messaging have left the public - even those
who’d like to protect themselves- unable to properly do so.

Without further ado, here’s the most important information the public needs to-
but probably doesn’t - know about mitigating COVID-19 this summer."
