The Autumn covid vaccines should be available in a month or two. I'll be getting mine as soon as I can.

I feel like maybe we shouldn't make a habit of making viruses after chaos gods lol.

I'm also endlessly entertained by the "here are the symptoms" every time they report a new variant. Cold symptoms. The symptoms are cold symptoms. You can't distinguish one viral respiratory infection from another based on symptoms.
