but, COVID precautions like masks are controversialSince then, the disease has continued to spread across the country in seasonal waves, and sadly, we are entering another wave that is having a devastating effect on Florida.

Aaron Hall, Associate Director of Science CDC Coronavirus and other respiratory virus divisions, Said:
The pattern seen is consistent with what has been observed over the past few summers, with increases in activity during this time of year not as large as those seen during the winter peak.
The activity we are seeing now is consistent with historical trends, which is an important reminder that there are important measures people can take to protect themselves.
Emergency room visits across the U.S. have increased by 115 percent, and scientists have discovered new variants of the disease.
The newest variant, KP.3, accounts for more than a third of all new infections in the U.S. Hall said it’s the most contagious because Americans have not yet developed immunity to it.
Guests vacationing at Walt Disney World should be aware of the virus’s rapid spread in Florida and take precautions, which is especially important when waiting in line at indoor attractions.
The CDC expects this wave to remain in Florida for the next few months until the heat subsides in September. These waves tend to stay in warmer climates through the summer when people tend to stay indoors, then move north.
