The hill ^ | 12/25/2021 | Chris Mills Rodrigo

Florida broke its single-day record for new COVID-19 cases on Thursday as the omicron variant continues to drive a surge in infections.

The state reported 31,758 cases to the Centers for Disease Control database on Thursday. The previous high was 27,669 in August when the delta variant swept the state.

"Cases mean nothing alone. How many were tested, hospitalization rates, length of stay, etc"

I agree.

Emphasizing that I am not medically trained, false positive CV19 tests aside, don't positive test results for asymptomatic cases possibly indicate healthy natural immunity at work?

Professor Sucharit Bhakdi: We already have antibody memory immunity to COVID19, 99% of us immune. Vaccination is unnecessary & re-vaccination potentially life threatening. (7.9.21; July 2021)

Corrections, insights welcome.

I wonder if they do random sample testing to get a better idea of percentage of folks infected?

I disagree. Clearly Omicron is quite infectious.

BUT, how many were tested to produce this many positives?

How many were symptomatic, and what were they presenting with?

Are they also positive for flu?

What were they admitted for (if hospitalized)?

On and on.

# of cases is like looking at an elephant through a straw.

These cases they call “breakthrough” are in reality caused by a breakdown in the immune system to fight an infection caused by the “vaccine” itself. Any viralogist knows you don’t create a vaccine in a pandemic.

Just in New York State alone, we have 69 new deaths yesterday.

Our numbers are horrible. We have 44,431 new cases as of yesterday.

And Manhattan, where I live, is the worst area in the state, not surprisingly. We were doing OK comparatively until omicron. Because we have so much crowding, and people coing in constantly from all over the world, we will suffer more, I guess, from any variant with higher contagiousness.

Here in north Florida, it is 50 in the morning. 80 in the afternoon. People always get colds in December. If you are dumb enough to get a COVID test, then you play results roulette with the failed PCR test. The test results seem to have Vegas odds—they always favor the house.

“Just in New York State alone, we have 69 new deaths yesterday.”

That doesn’t seem very high to me. People die all the time. Did they die OF or WITH the China Virus? What about preexisting conditions?

Odd that I read one death and within days in NYC you say 69.

I’m sure you know how NYS counts CoupFlu cases, right?

NYS counts probables, asymptomatics, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.

Our stats are crap.

You are saying covid or specifically Omicron.
I was saying Omicron.

I think the entire UF football team must have had COVID the other day.

— “Would not be surprised at all if many of these sere the usual winter flu showing as positive in the garbage covid tests.”

Revisiting the CDC:

“There are no authorized, cleared, or approved diagnostic tests to specifically detect SARS-CoV-2 variants (Omicron or other variants). Currently, COVID-19 tests are designed and authorized to check broadly for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not for specific variants.”

This, posted, for the CDC fans and The Hill.

They completely changed in-house dashboard, as employee I believe to make it deliberately harder to pull daily data for comparisons. And the changes are driven by the DOH salivating sickos and have nothing whatsoever to do with DeSantis. I highly doubt he even sees the dashboard, although I wish he would

Why are you posting a link from the leftist shills at The Hill?
