As the omicron variant of COVID-19 continues to spread out of control in New York City, transmission rates are soaring, with 2% of all Manhattan residents infected in the last week and nearing that level in the other boroughs.

some neighborhoods are substantially higher. The Chelsea and Clinton neighborhoods now stand at 2,600 cases per 100,000 residents in the last wee

At 2,600 cases per 100,000 residents, Chelsea may be one of the most infected places in the country.

It's also one of the gayest places in the country. Clinton, too. The story behind the story...
Blow the bridges!
I bet they are selling a lot of Kleenex.
1 in 50 isn’t bad odds, IMO.
How many hospitalized and deaths....cases mean nothing...they fish for those...
OMG! It’s a CASE-ADEMIC!!!
Isn’t 2600 per 100000 0.26 percent?
Still high, but one tenth of the headline number.
Hmmm ... as usual, no mention of “surging hospitalizations” or “surging deaths”
so, we can safely assume most of the new “cases” are asymptomatic?
IOW, more Big Media fear-mongering!
1 in 25 this week.
1 in 10 next week.
1 in 4 the week after.
1 in 2 the week after that.
Triple vaxxed gays in those neighborhoods.
RE: ....one of the gayest places....
//////////////////////////////////////////
Right.Probably the gayest is Provincetown, MA.
A few months ago:
NYT story on surge of Covid there:
By the Fourth of July, Provincetown’s tourist season had built to a prepandemic thrum. Restaurants were booked solid, and snaking lines formed outside the dance clubs. There were conga lines, drag brunches and a pervasive, joyous sense of relief.
(...then daily unspwing in new cases....)
....Alongside the numbers was an unsettling fact: Most of the people testing positive were vaccinated.
Provincetown, a quirky beach community at the tip of Cape Cod, has provided a sobering case study for the country, abruptly tugging Americans back to the caution of winter and spring.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cited the cluster on Friday as key to its decision to issue new indoor mask guidance, saying viral loads among the vaccinated people there were found to be as high as among the unvaccinated.
A community of health-conscious, left-leaning Northeasterners, known as a vacation mecca for gay men, Provincetown had one of the highest vaccination rates in the country, upward of 95 percent among permanent residents, Mr. Morse estimates.
“Now it is clear, as clear as day, that you can be vaccinated and still get Covid. Bottom line, we have to really watch ourselves and not think it is over. It is nowhere near over.”

Guess the “conga lines and drag brunches” didn’t work out.
Looking VERY MUCH forward to a day not far in the future when COVID cases mirror Philly voter turnout:
105 Manhattan residents out of 100 infected with COVID
2.6%
Sure wished they would cover the flu like this.
Provincetown, Part Deux.
Yup—everyone better stock up on Kleenex—could be a big shortage!
Who cares?
No! Then I’ll have to come out if retirement to brat Bane again.
The funeral pyers must be burning day and night.
.
and yet, today CDC admits that
they cannot discriminate from the flu.
LIES. LIES. LIES.
