Late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers test positive for COVID-19

As the omicron variant of the coronavirus continues to spread across the U.S., both of NBC's late-night talk show hosts, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon, have announced they've tested positive for COVID-19.

"The bad news is, I tested positive for COVID (thanks, 2022!)," Meyers said in a tweet Monday. "The good news is, I feel fine (thanks vaccines and booster!)." ...

News of Meyers' positive case comes a day after Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon announced he had tested positive for the coronavirus right before Christmas.

In his latest Instagram post, Fallon, who appears to have recovered, says he had received a COVID-19 vaccine and booster shot — and experienced only mild symptoms.

We must realize that the vaccine is not a SHIELD but provides the immune system with the response codes to fight an exposure to covid-19...

With some types of masks significantly less effective against Omicron, I have upgraded to KN95/N95 only, no more of the little disposable blue surgical masks I would sometimes use.

Also try to avoid unnecessary interactions or lack of distancing, regardless of vaccination status or mask wearing.
