I know he'll be correct eventually, but one reliable sign things are about to turn for the worst throughout the #COVID19 pandemic is when Eric Topol announces how hopeful he is, that he sees good signs, and/or that he's tired of the pervasive pessimists. Today, he shared how we have no new variants with a growth advantage over XBB.1.5, which isn't actually true--they're just still growing from a small base, but I bet that won't be the story in 4 to 6 weeks.
For all the great work he's done, I've unfollowed him in frustration with this multiple times. Hope and optimism isn't winning here.
