Covid-19 cases up 30% over the past month

Michigan is a dump

And cases are irrelevant

When is the last time you heard about ICU numbers?

Hey, Dr. Fauci said this would happen if we didn't wear two masks and hide in our closets until 2023.

---

23% of the US population (not counting the 30M illegals) has been fully vaccinated, with 37% being at least partially vaccinated,

---

Not counting those that got their antibodies the old fashioned way.

We should be well past the HIT at this point.

These vaccines are sketchy as hell, and if they don't allow us to go back to normal, why take it?

How many of these cases are so mild , they would go unnoticed if we weren’t still testing obsessively?

Half? More?

If it saves just ONE life!!!

Seriously, the fear porn peddlers do seem to have moved on from ICUs being overwhelmed to...cases.

It's been a younger crowd, Covid ICU numbers where I live are stable with a slight surge in less critically ill patients. These patients are not really progressing to critically ill either.

Isreal had a similar surge, look at them now when they are at 60%.

Covid is going to be over in the dakotas very soon

First states to reach herd Imm

If you visited the western part of the state you would think covid never existed.

But yeah, our fall surge was terrible and 30-40% of the state probably got it at that time. With the weather about to heat up, it is going to bottom out completely soon.

Do the dakotas have more icu space per capita than most other areas of the first world?

Because, while the surge did get the hospitals pretty busy, the health system never collapsed there.

I work for the primary health care system in the state, we pretty much created a covid hospital from an old hospital that was only being partly used. I think we had 200 patients at one point, 60 in the ICU but at that point we were at the brink. Every hospital in the state had already been diverting to us for well over a month. Fortunately things slowly improved.

We do have great critical care MDs, the hospital invests a ton into getting and keeping good docs.

I got immunized the old fashioned way. I thought it was allergies due to the pollen explosion and the only reason I found out it was covid is because my wife asked me to go get checked. I guarantee you there are millions of people who had it and shook it off without being diagnosed. This thing's running out of places to go.

I wouldn’t have ever gotten tested if I didn’t lose my sense of smell. My wife never even lost that and was only a little more tired than normal. But, alas, we both tested positive. We were with about 30 people the day before at a Christmas party, not a single person tested positive. No one at my office tested positive either.
