For nearly a month, COVID-19 hospitalizations have been increasing following weeks of decline and relatively low levels throughout the summer, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

As of Nov. 25, there were 19,444 weekly hospitalizations due to the virus compared to 15,006 four weeks earlier, data shows.

While this marks an increase of 29.6%, it is lower than the 150,650 weekly hospitalizations at the peak of the omicron wave during the 2021-22 season.

Rates of COVID hospitalizations remain elevated among senior citizens, middle-aged adults and children under age 4, meaning the virus is affecting both the oldest and youngest Americans.

My daughter’s best friend, a fully vaccinated and boosted liberal, caught covid two weeks ago. I had dinner at friend’s house a few weeks ago and told her my MD didn’t advise the vax and that the CEO of Pfizer caught covid. She looked so shocked.

Look at what they’re doing! Notice there aren’t DEATHS being talked about, just people being diagnosed with it. I had it about a month ago. The dry cough was annoying, but past that? No big deal.

They (the MSM) expect to be able to say “COVID”, and for us to all immediately assume that all the elderly are going to die, and to agree to whatever they ask.

Oh, CBS.

Everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - I know has become infected with a bug which is best described as a “24-hour flu”: Fever, some discomfort, chest congestion in 1-out-of-10.

Aside from a few missed days at work, NOBODY has been hospitalized and NOBODY knows anyone who has been hospitalized.

Of course, of those who have taken the ‘test’ most have tested positive; the rest are presumed.

I’ll play the parrot:

“It’s the new common cold.”

Unfortunately, it’s also the only cold for which there’s a test to freak out the weak minded...

(Full disclosure: Though I never took a day for illness, there was one day for which I felt a bit ‘off’. I credit my natural immunity. As well, nearly all of those who tested positive received the jab; those who didn’t test didn’t have the jab. That’s a ‘tell’.)

Read This Carefully -

As of Nov. 25, there were 19,444 weekly hospitalizations due to the virus ........

It is lower than the 150,650 weekly hospitalizations at the peak of the omicron wave during the 2021-22 season.

MSM is getting their collective panties in a wad for 19,444 hospitalizations when COMPARED TO 150,650

How many of the 19,444 are people WITH COVID and not FROM COVID? When this gets to 100,000 call me.

Otherwise MSM, CDC, FDA, etc., can all suk my nuts!!!

The data on Worldometer - based on reports from government agencies - does not support the claims made in this article. New cases are running about half of what they were in September, and deaths are down by about 35-40%

Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?
You’ve got to have a mask and jab to get a seat
You can’t even watch, no you can’t eat

The sign said you got to have a vaccination card to get inside...Ugh!

They sure do, and I know several people who are complaining about that and wish they’d never gotten the shot. Especially when they see that my family is rarely sick.
