The effects of the ongoing COVID pandemic are like COVID a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶
This is exactly what happens when a novel seasonal influenza strain meets a population with Covid-induced immune dysregulation; it's not 'like Covid again', it's the ongoing and continuous effects of Covid.

Way back when, mayor Pete's reform-minded chief of police, Daryl Boykins, recorded some of his officers making vile racist statements. So Buttigieg fired... the police chief.🤡
Boykins was the 1st Black police chief in city history, and was building trust with Black folk.
