People think this pandemic is over :smh: there is an uptick in cases right now

Uptick is putting it lightly.

Keep in mind more people are testing at home and not reporting positive results to anyone, there aren't as many testing sites as they're were previously meaning some aren't getting tested at all unless they require medical treatment and, at least here in New York State, both the state and county Department of Health offices are no longer really making an effort to track cases and exposures unless people are hospitalized.

These numbers are significantly higher than is being reported and have been steadily increasing since before Easter with no indication of a drop.

And keep in mind mother's day is right around the corner.

Yeah you re right because of the home testing not being counted.

What you're talking about according to Fauci we're out of the pandemic phase...:rolleyes:

I get what this guy meant because he is talking the science but it is the worst type of communication ever and then in the next statement he contradicts his previous statement. He doesn't know how to speak in layman's terms.b

All dude had to say is that hospitalizations and deaths are down for now but that does not mean it can't start to increase without mitigation factors.

I guarantee they lying on the numbers to keep it from 1 million.

They should have let it hit 1 million a couple of months ago, having it happen this close to Memorial Day weekend won’t be good.
I Always said that we are over 1 million ever since last year

The Biden administration is doing OK

No they're not. Nor is anyone else in this country regardless of political party.


And still, NOTHING will happen to him.

Couldn't tell people shit. Still can't. It reminds me of how people think condoms are supersuits. There is a reason every other place bumped up the booster interval to 3 fucking months. Shit ain't sustainable, so hold your own nuts in the U.S. :smh:

Folks have fooled themselves into believing da vaccination is a silver bullet and prior messaging on behalf of da administration and da CDC attributed it to it. See below.

She will be OK because she is vaccinated

Just keep on thinkin' this will always be da case. This type of thinkin' is gonna have folks laid up in hospitals or da grave.

I was just talking to a co-worker today about this.

She and her husband caught COVID in December 2021 and despite being fully vaccinated her husband still hasn't fully recovered and is dealing with long COVID which still makes it hard for him to function.

The fucked up thing is that's not uncommon for vaccinated people but you never hear about this anywhere.

They're not gonna say anything about it cause they were foolishly banking on da vaccine being da end all/be all unlike other countries that seemingly knew better.
Right now, we are struggling with three very distinct groups:

1) People who are taking this disease seriously: primarily consisting of folks that have been being careful and taking care of themselves since this started, but also including people who have learned the hard way and now know better.

2) People who refuse to take this seriously: including people who, through ignorance or outright denial, refuse to take any precautions, including basic ones.

3) People in the middle: folks who think this may be a serious thing, but through misdirection and downplaying in the late stages have grown complacent with not using precautions because they've bought into the narrative that "the worst is over".

As Group 3 increases, so will the inherent risk of things. What's sad is that if everyone had just used a little bit of precaution in the beginning of things, we'd probably be done with this by now. But we decided to use attrition instead of precaution, and that's created the entirety of the struggle we've been in.

A lot (I'd say most) of the early stage fuckery falls on Trump and Co., But Biden is trying his best to make people forget that with the way he's been handling things.

What else could Biden do? Hell congress wont even give him money to fund COVID preventative measuse moving forward.
