Here we go again: Biden campaign COVID alarmist says we're in a 'Category 5 hurricane'https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/here-we-go-again-biden-campaign-covid-alarmist-says-were-in-a-category-5-hurricaneIn today's edition of the Democrats' perpetual pandemic, we have another one of Dr. Michael Osterholm's dire warnings about the calamity both near and far of COVID-19.
Osterholm was an adviser to President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign. He is the director for the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. You might recall his incessant calls for more lockdowns, and on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, he delivered another banger.
"First of all, let me say that at this time, we really are in a Category 5 hurricane status with regard to the rest of the world," he said. "At this point, we will see in the next two weeks the highest number of cases reported globally since the end of the pandemic. In terms of the United States, we're just at the beginning of this surge. We haven't even really begun to see it yet."
