(Commentary) UVA’s latest analysis of statewide data reveals that the post-Thanksgiving surge is likely to push the projected peak in weekly cases to 98,000 during the first week in February. That’s 13 times higher than this past summer’s peak of 7,550 cases. If this happens, we’ll no longer be talking about a “third wave” of COVID-19; we’ll be facing a tsunami of infections that will overwhelm our state’s hospitals and cause misery and grief throughout the commonwealth.
