CNN ran a story describing Omicron BA.5 as the “worst variant ever.” Did they mean that this variant is causing more suffering, greater hospitalization rates and killing more people? No. They meant that BA.5 is the most contagious strain of COVID so far, but the story failed to mention until many paragraphs in that individuals testing positive typically experience only mild symptoms, and that hospitalizations and deaths are NOT increasing as a result.
Jimmy and show producer Malcolm Fleschner discuss their experiences with catching COVID recently, and the ongoing fearmongering from CNN and other mainstream outlets.
