I look at Worldometers daily and just now I saw a new listing and the biggest spike I have ever seen since Covid began.

"134,520 new cases" in one day.

Taiwan is almost ad freaky...

2. I know...that is really freaky

3. Thousands more cases every day..

This is terrible

[BigmanPigman]

4. On Friday they had

263,380 new cases and 2 new deaths. One quarter of a million in one day?!?! Over 4 days almost 3 million were reported. Wow!

[Deuxcents]

5. Don't know the population numbers but

That’s a lot of sick people whose government can’t feed em so I shutter to think the lack of care for all these sick people. It’s a disaster n don’t think it’ll end well..if it ever does.

6. My town of 85,000 people 100 more cases today

I check every few days. I still wear my mask at stores but hubby won't.

7. Cases are increasing rapidly.

I don't go anywhere without my trusty N95. I'm glad my dentist wears one or I wouldn't go in.

8. I have it (again); a bunch of people around here are coming down with it in the last couple weeks

this is in central TX; I guess that's what happens when everyone decides to just stop taking any precautions

14. Our local school district just warned that masks may be required

in class again (this is in San Diego).

9. Impoverished, malnourished population with no healthcare.

They don't stand much of a chance against Covid.

10. There was never going to be a perfect response

Going to be fascinating in years to come when responses are analyzed. I think the US obviously did awful because of Trump, but then when Omicron came around it washed over the country and was a lot less deadly. So we've gotten to a point now where cases are going up in the US, but deaths are still falling. It's because we have a good combo of vaccinated, natural immunity, and better treatments now.

Deaths in the 7 day rolling average right now are the lowest they've been since March of 2020, the opening weeks of the pandemic here.

GET BOOSTED! Keep your booster up to date! The US sits at 30.6% boosted, that's absolutely pathetic, that means almost 70% of the population isn't as protected as they should be. And mask up, the protection of masks is still an amazing weapon. Top of the line N95 or KN95 masks reduce your chances of getting Covid by 83%. Even cloth masks are giving good protection. There's this myth that masks only protect others from you, that's old data, the substantiated data says masks are great protection for you too.

12. The only way to get a graph like that is to cancel all the real data until the spike.

All their data is BS.

13. I think so too.

You can't believe the accuracy of many countries' stats but N Korea is the most famous for lying anout everything.
