Covid-19: CDC head warns of 'impending doom' in US
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56572452

A senior scientist has warned that the US faces "impending doom" as coronavirus cases and hospital admissions rise across the country.

On Monday President Joe Biden urged state politicians once again to make mask-wearing obligatory in public places.

He also promised that by mid-April 90% of American adults would be able to receive a vaccine.

The US has recorded around 60,000 new cases daily for the past week.

The director of the US public health agency, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was speaking at a White House briefing when she said she was going to go "off script".

"I'm going to reflect on the reoccurring feeling I have of impending doom," Dr Rochelle Walensky said, adding "we have so much reason for hope, but right now I'm scared".

New Covid cases have reached around 60,000 a day in the past week, a rise of around 7%, according to the CDC.

Dr Walensky said she did not want the US to face another spike in cases and deaths as has happened in many European countries.

Cases have risen particularly quickly in Michigan and the country's north-east, including Connecticut and New York, according to the New York Times.

Speaking in a TV address from the White House President Biden issued a plea to state governors to re-introduce laws that require citizens to wear masks.

The CDC and the Democrat party has to do all they possibly can to keep the hysteria going as long as possible.

A senior scientist has warned that the US faces "impending doom" as coronavirus cases and hospital admissions rise across the country.

Every time there's a report of great positive news the country reacts as if everything over and done 5 min later and then ~3-4 weeks later we get another surge in cases. You'd think that they'd actually learn from experience over the past year, but no......no learning, no caring.....

Clearly they are very good candidates for "How Stupid are they............

I agree, sadly.

Also a lack of personal responsibility....

Sort of goes w/o saying, but it's been a year long behavior pattern.

Nearly half of new US virus infections are in just 5 states
https://news.yahoo.com/nearly-half-us-v ... 27189.html

Nearly half of new coronavirus infections nationwide are in just five states — a situation that is putting pressure on the federal government to consider changing how it distributes vaccines by sending more doses to hot spots.

New York, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and New Jersey together reported 44% of the nation's new COVID-19 infections, or nearly 197,500 new cases, in the latest available seven-day period, according to state health agency data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Total U.S. infections during the same week numbered more than 452,000.

The heavy concentration of new cases in states that account for 22% of the U.S. population has prompted some experts and elected officials to call for President Joe Biden’s administration to ship additional vaccine doses to those places. So far, the White House has shown no signs of shifting from its policy of dividing vaccine doses among states based on population.

Sending extra doses to places where infection numbers are climbing makes sense, said Dr. Elvin H. Geng, a professor in infectious diseases at Washington University. But it’s also complicated. States that are more successfully controlling the virus might see less vaccine as a result.

“You wouldn’t want to make those folks wait because they were doing better,” Geng said. “On the other hand, it only makes sense to send vaccines to where the cases are rising.”

The spike in cases has been especially pronounced in Michigan, where the seven-day average of daily new infections reached 6,719 cases Sunday — more than double what it was two weeks earlier. Only New York reported higher case numbers. And California and Texas, which have vastly larger populations than Michigan, are reporting less than half its number of daily infections.

Though Michigan has seen the highest rate of new infections in the past two weeks, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has said she does not plan to tighten restrictions. She has blamed the virus surge on pandemic fatigue, which has people moving about more, as well as more contagious variants.

Certainly gives pause for wondering why these 5 states? Are they still required to wear masks and observer 6 ft rule in these states? Are they (insert here)?

Looks as if 3 of them are sanctuary states. PA looks to have some sanctuary counties.
