COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

I'm sitting at the pharmacy waiting for the new covid and flu shots.

Friend of mine has covid today. 105.4 temperature. He died from covid a few years ago and had had long covid since recovering.
I feel like this needs a bit of an explanation or more context.
