From the World Health Organization’s top European official:

“As we enter the summer season… with mass gatherings, festivals and parties, I am concerned that transmission could accelerate.”

Also, a push for new vaccinations.

Just when you thought covid was going away and the pandemic was ending.

About the Author: Ben Garrett

I am a journalist and erstwhile web designer from East Tennessee. Home is on the eastern border of the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area. I write for a living, but not here ... because nobody is paying money for my opinions (except the New York Post, just once, and Donald Trump retweeted it).

I am a journalist and erstwhile web designer from East Tennessee. Home is the eastern border of the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area. I write for a living, but this isn’t it … because nobody is paying me for my opinion. (Well, the New York Post did. But just once. And Donald Trump retweeted it.) I was Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2006. Topics here include politics, the weather, Tennessee Vols football, and whatever else interests me.
