I'm no meteorologist, but might these be asperitas clouds? (A "supplementary feature" rather than a distinct cloud type of its own, asperitas was added to the International Cloud Atlas in 2017, the first cloud formation to be added since 1951.)

Love this--ER husband was speculating on exactly this over the last few weeks. A non-medical colleague of mine asked this pertinent question: " I would have thought it might have been the other way around since the person had seen the virus before and their body knew what to do with it. Does that mean that every time we come in contact with the virus going forward, reactions could get worse? " Can you comment on this?

Do you have any easy to understand resources I can share with some vaccine skeptical family? They have said things like "its so new" as a reason to hold off getting vaccinated.
