"Michael Barr with what else is going on in New York and around the world new concerns about COVID, Michael. That is correct, Nathan, the Department of Health is continuing to urge New York City residents to wear masks in all public indoor settings and in crowded areas outdoors because of an uptick in COVID. It comes as the latest omicron variant BA .5 has become the dominant strain in the U.S.. This New Yorker says people got lax about masking. The city is the government's going to have a hard time getting people back into masks Meanwhile, about two out of three people in the U.S. are fully vaccinated. Harvard Medical School professor Doctor John brownstein says the evolution of variants unresponsive to immunity from previous infections means we are likely going to have to give up on the idea of herd immunity. You're seeing this virus evolve quicker and quicker and will probably see another variant in the fall. So the main question really is, can we avert really serious outcomes like death and hospitalizations? Yeah, epidemiologist Doctor John brownstein is also the chief innovation officer at Boston children's hospital. Police in New York City are looking for a man they say is targeting homeless people in a string of stabbing attacks.

Thank you for joining us this evening on northwest news radio. There's some growing concern among health experts about the newest COVID-19 variant Another day, it seems another coronavirus variant the latest BA 5, said to be highly contagious and causing spikes in cases nationwide. You're seeing this virus evolve quicker and quicker and will probably see another variant in the fall. Doctor John brownstein an epidemiologist and professor at Harvard Medical School tells ABC News, the newest variant show signs of overcoming a person's immunity, meaning so called herd immunity may no longer work. Even if you had a previous infection with omicron or alpha Delta, you could be infected with this new variant. He says it's like contracting an entirely new disease. Derek Dennis ABC News. You may have heard that Elon Musk is no longer interested in buying social media giant Twitter. He wants out of the $44 billion bid, but Twitter executives say the bid is rocked the stock market price and they want to hold mister Musk accountable. Naomi nicks is watching it all for The Washington Post first. Why does he want out of the deal in the first place Naomi? Legally is that Twitter has not been forthcoming and operating back to bed misleading about the number of spam accounts on the platform. He says that it must be much higher than what the company has said, which is that it's lower than 5%. And that this represents the material enough difference that it essentially changes that it violates some of the provisions that Twitter agreed to when he made the deal. Twitter is saying, work, we'll take it as court. The company has said that the number of Salem accounts on the platform is lower than 5% and that it's been truthful and forthcoming about that information and that Elon has to go forward with the deal because he agreed to legally. Yeah, certainly doesn't sound like it's been an easy time at Twitter since Musk first announced he was buying the company. Twitter stock is off about 50% since that first bid was made. It's really been a bit of a roller coaster in part because this is an acquisition that has played out in public in a way that few acquisitions do. And so Elon has publicly criticized specific people and executives at Twitter. He's criticized the platform. He's indicated that he would be potentially open to seeing president Donald Trump return to the platform in a Twitter ban Trump over his role in the gen 6 events. And the employees have had to grapple with, who's thinking about who's going to be leading this company and what direction are they going to take in the months that lie ahead at a time when tech companies stocks aren't doing so well and that there's a lot of server ambiguity in the marketplace.
