The New York Times reported last week: “As we enter our third pandemic holiday season, some doctors are fearing a seasonal surge in COVID. In Europe — which many experts consider a bellwether for COVID cases in the U.S. — cases are starting to mount, prompting the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the World Health Organization to warn that a new wave of infections could be starting.”
