So where are we on COVID-19?
We know that the more transmissible BA2 variant is now the dominant strain in the country. And that Philadelphia this week became the first city to bring back indoor mask mandates; that the Boston Symphony Orchestra just cancelled its European tour based on virus numbers here and abroad.

..."But we also know hospitalizations are low and case numbers are a fraction of what they were in late December when omicron peaked.
So how do we interpret all this information? And what can we expect going forward?
