This week’s hospital admission rate follows last week’s rise of more than 10 percent. While this data suggests more infections, a metric the CDC does not track anymore, it remains unclear how concerned people should be.

Wow if only there was some sort of institution that should help us understand how concerned we should be.

    We should probably be giving out updated vax shots twice a year at least, but the big brains in government only want to do one before fall/winter with one or two infections as a “booster” in between. But since “hybrid immunity” is being sold as awesome and good, hardly anyone is getting the vaccines anymore.

    We should also be filtering and cleaning the air indoors, and at the very least be requiring masks in hospitals, but nah. They really, really want this to be a seasonal virus for the winter but it’s just way too infectious and with no long lasting immunity. And a random mutation can pop up at any time causing things to become as bad as 2020 again, as it has the entire world to play with and is being passed between species. Fucking awesome.

    What’s the worst a few infections a year with a t-cell destroying virus that causes brain, vascular, and organ damage gonna do?
