impending doom on potential new COVID surge

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday warned of "impending doom" over rising coronavirus cases, telling the public that even though vaccines are being rolled out quickly, a fourth surge could happen if people don't start taking precautions.
"I'm going to lose the script, and I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom. We have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope. But right now I'm scared," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said during a White House briefing Monday.
"We do not have the luxury of inaction," Walensky added.
Walensky said hospitalizations have also increased over the past week, as the most recent seven day average is about 4,800 admissions per day, up from 4,600 admissions per day in the prior seven days.
She said that the country has come "such a long way" with three authorized vaccines and pleaded with the nation to keep following mitigation measures and "just please hold on a little while longer." LINK

To any of you dipshits that think shutdowns, masks, distancing, and reparations are ending anytime soon...this is your proof, you're a fool for listening to anything that comes out of DC.

joe is bragging about vaccinations and the media is saying there is a fourth wave coming.

We only had a 99.5% chance of surviving. Surviving the 2nd and 3rd waves was nothing short of a miracle.

Translation- we have concocted a new, deadlier strain that we are about to unleash on you. When we do, you will look back on this conference and know that we tried to warn you.
Evil bastards...

With almost 100 million people vaccinated, 30 million confirmed cases, and estimates of unconfirmed ranging from 70-90%, a fourth surge would only undermine any arguments for efficacy of NPI and the vaccines themselves. Those numbers translate to almost everyone being exposed. If there is no lasting immunity, there is no vaccine and this thing stays until the herd is culled and those that can survive it do...and live with it.
I've lost all faith in the critical thinking skills of anyone in a leadership role at the national level. No one has the capacity to articulate the realities of this situation and where we are. No one in journalism is smart enough to ask the critical questions.

Jesus Christ, later that evening she asked to speak to the Applebee’s waitress’ manager...
What a fricking Karen. These are the people the world is listening to.

Maybe she could voice some concern over the Covid incubators in Joe's kid cages and sending 10% of illegals to other unsuspecting areas.
But that will happen when I get the unicorn is delivered to my door.

We have been asked time after time for the past year to "hold on a little while longer" this phrase should be answered with "no longer" if you cannot state what the end goal of these measures are and what criteria needs to be met for all restrictions to be lifted. No one has stated the end goal, that is why there is so much conflicting messages. We should put pressure on every person in charge to answer these questions so that we the people can decided whether or not they are acceptable and follow their restrictions/measures.
1. It has been a full year now and they still cannot state what their goal is, is it complete eradication of the virus? is it herd immunity? Is it for everyone to have the opportunity to get the vaccine?
2. It has been a full year now and they still cannot state what criteria for full reopen would be: ratio of deaths to cases? ratio of hospitalizations to cases? ratio of deaths to hospitalizations? % of population with the Vaccine? period of time where the vaccine is available where supply exceeds demand?
IF you cannot answer both of those questions you have no right to demand or honestly even request that alter their behavior from pre-covid.

It's either they are too stupid to understand OR they fully understand and are using this situation to frick us. I think it's the latter.

We are vaccinating over 2 million a day.
In another week, we will have 14 million more vaccinated.
Hospitalizations lag 2 to 3 weeks behind infections so these hospitalizations are from infections that are 28 to 42 million more vaccines.
There will not be a fourth wave.
This is a whimper.

The only thing she is scared of is losing the spotlight and being pushed back into a broom closet... They think they are relevant...

They're a little late with the latest fear porn. Should have started a month ago.

They've been wrong so far. Let's just blow them off this time and see if they're right about the impending doom.
