    I got it and ended up in the emergency room last week, took me nearly 5 weeks to beat it. When I ended up in the ER the nurse & doc both said they have been having so many Covid cases lately. I may not believe the media hyped but I believe my own personal testimony & my docs word

    COVID is so well-engineered that the virus knows that it's election year.

    Should wear mask and wash your hands. Don't let the bad days ever comeback again.

    Thanks for reporting on Covid!
  • People aren't going to take it seriously again until they're sick as a dog themselves.

    Thank you for reporting on this. I saw it happen in real time in the last month - 5 separate cases among my immediate family and coworkers, 2 directly exposed me. (I still always mask and tested negative after 4 days incubation.) I could tell the world was likely facing a spike.
  • Can someone tell me where the c-19 vaccines & boosters play in this. We have 9 shots at this point. What is the purpose of them? Shouldn’t the numbers be going down with every new booster released? Am I missing something?? As quickly as those shots were produced back in 2021, they should have shots for all of the different variants at this point.
  • The Biggest factor of coming back is called Election season 😁
  • I am flying on friday, And I am definitely wearing a mask on the plane. Better to be safe than sorry and ruin your vacation
  • And right on cue for the General Election in November.... How convenient!

    The data from NY is interesting. No spikes.
