Penn State researchers found that the maximum wet-bulb temperature humans can endure is lower than previously thought — about 31°C wet-bulb or 87°F at 100% humidity — even for young, healthy subjects. The temperature for older populations, who are more vulnerable to heat, is likely even lower.
Already happened in the PNW last year with the heat dome, though with less infectious strains, and IIRC there was only a small spike in cases. The baseline's already so high it kind of doesn't matter.

:yea:
Looking forward to that Moderna bivalent shot based on the first Omicron strain that doesn’t confer immunity to BA4/BA5….
if wastewater levels are to be believed, cases are actually ~3x higher right now than reporting indicates, or in other words 230,000 cases daily
