A: It was hardly a crisis. Not even a tempest in a teapot. It was kind of amusing: I got this notification, and I thought it was spam originally. So I ignored it. I had to justify that I’m a public figure. That I’ve written and published things, that I’m cited in public media. It never occurred to me I’d have to justify it. But I went there and my verification was gone. Honestly I didn’t care about it that much, I just remarked on it with an amusing little tweet.
Then this BA.5, even though it’s going down, it’s a long, slow tail. It’ll be around well into the fall. And the toughest thing to get people to understand is what’s going to happen in the winter. Obviously there’s no way to predict. But I think it’s still quite likely that we’re going to see a new variant just like we have the last two winters. Last winter it was omicron, BA.1. The winter before that we saw alpha.
Q: I did an interview with George Carlin a few months before he died and he repeatedly said his great disappointment in our species is its refusal to look a few steps ahead. That we can’t look past our toes.
