Kids never really got COVID before.
They weren't susceptible to this.
They weren't getting these horrible side effects.
Now we have to start worrying about this again, right?
No.

Kids are fine.
Adults are fine.
Everyone's fine.

COVID-19 is circulating at a very low level right now in the U.S.
And they are now calling this cicada nickname.
This is part of the Omicron family tree variant.
This is, again, BA 3.2.
And they call it cicada because
because the insect goes underground for a few years and then comes back up or whatever.
So this is sort of like this Omicron variant that wreaked havoc on the country and on the world a few years ago is now sort of coming back and it's coming back in a different way.
This has now been spotted in 23 countries and in wastewater from 25 US states.
