I haven't seen her much in the past few months, but Nicole Wallace had her on on Monday. She said the number of new infections is way too high. She lamented the anti-vax/anti-mask attitude that prevails among a certain segment. She mentioned the variants & how every new infection is a possible chance for the virus to mutate again.

I think the difference between this pandemic & ones in the past is social media. The ability to spread false information & fear based on lies, is so much easier now than in the past. Just wait. Social media will be humanity's downfall.
