International [U.S COVID Vaccine News] CDC to Lift COVID-19 Testing Requirement for international Travelers

[UFCUCF]

Florida hospitals declared Code Black. Will cancel non-emergencies

This is NYC level emergency back in March 2020

Drs said the majority are not vaccinated




Look at the hospitalizations

Governor DeSantis’ Florida.

This is a perfect example of how to manipulate statistics.

He points out that they have seen a 2500% daily case increase since June 1 with 99% vaccinated. To be clear it went from 1 new case a day, to 25 cases a day. They are amidst a new wave, which seems to have plateaued, probably with the delta variant. However, look at the trajectory compared to the last wave:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/gibraltar/

So if we pick the start of the last wave in december and compare, the 7-day rolling average went from 3 to 217 at the highest point. You can clearly see the visual difference, but that's an increase of 7.233%. So as you see, this wave is nowhere near as bad as the last one in regard to cases and that is when dealing with a more contagious variant. According to Reuters they are at 22% of daily cases compared to their peak during the last wave.

More importantly, not a single death has been recorded during this wave:

Just another grifter.

 

[BIKES!]

Almost as if lockdowns delayed the inevitable and the only way to fight this is real herd immunity where people get and beat it at a rate of 99.9999%

 

[MMA Time Soldier]

The biggest problem is that the guy who funded the development of the virus with China is still in charge of pandemic policy and still more concerned with covering his as’s and basking in the limelight.

Yes he is. The media are being employed to ensure fear continues to run riot among the population. There are parties, very powerful parties, that have no interest in ending the "pandemic " and they are ensuring that the public continue to live in fear. So the media is spreading these disingenuous stories. It's so easy to see how dishonest these stories are. And it must be for a reason.

I think its moreso that certain people are looking to exploit the anti vax movement for their own gain, in this case as a quick way to get web traffic.

An honest report of this story wouldnt get much attension, this story though will truely do the rounds of millions of anti vaxxers.

The White Privilege overlords, Joe Biden and White Privilege Dr. Fauci don't want the pandemic to end. In Biden's case it distracts from the economy.

A post advocating for more deaths, look at you. I’m sure you don’t understand the correlation.

Hospitalizations is high as the winter flu rate

25% of the hospitalizations are coming from Florida
30% of the deaths are coming from Florida




I think its absurd that as of yesterday, DeSantis signed executive order to scale back masks and restrictions

 

[Arkain2K]

Some people are freakin' weird, man. Wasted an entire summer dicking around and then only rush out to get their first shot now that their states are slammed by Delta and their hospitals are jam-packed, knowing full well that 1) There is a month-long gap until they can get their second shot, and 2) Doctors have been saying for months now that they need both shots in to protect them from being hospitalized by Delta.

Anyway, I think our country's medical professionals, health agencies, as well as government officials already did the best job they could in getting the word out to all the normal people with common sense before the next wave hits, and any U.S states that STILL not anywhere near Herd Immunity by now will be caught with their pants around their ankles. What comes next this Fall/Winter is entirely of their people's own choosing.

U.S. Covid vaccination rates rise as Americans in hard-hit states rush to get shots
JUL 30 2021

The pace of U.S. vaccinations is rising again as the delta variant drives a new surge in coronavirus cases across the U.S., especially in states with the lowest vaccination rates and the worst outbreaks.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data shows nearly 800,000 shots were recorded nationwide on Sunday, the highest single-day total in weeks. The seven-day average of reported vaccinations, including first and second shots, has risen by 16% over the past week to 615,000 shots per day as of Thursday.

The stark contrast in hospitalizations and deaths between the vaccinated and unvaccinated has become clear in recent weeks and may be convincing people on the fence about getting the shots, according to Jen Kates, a senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation. The overwhelming majority of serious Covid cases — 97% of hospital admissions, and 99.5% of Covid deaths — are occurring among those who are not vaccinated, U.S. health officials say.

"Cases are rising, and almost all of those who are hospitalized and dying are unvaccinated," she said. "The data are right there, and I think people are realizing that vaccines are our best bet at controlling this."

The number of first vaccine doses has climbed more sharply than the overall rate in recent days, representing new people getting their very first shots. An average of about 390,000 first doses were administered every day over the past seven days as of Thursday, according to the CDC, up 31% from a week ago.

"That is the marker you want to see — the first doses trending up," said Kates, because it represents new people getting their first shots. That includes people receiving a first shot of either the two-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or one shot of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The pace of daily shots remains far from peak levels, when more than 3 million daily vaccinations, counting both doses, were being reported in mid-April. But the upward trend in first doses is encouraging, public officials say.

Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia have reported an increase in average daily first doses compared with the prior week, up from 37 states with increasing rates of first doses a week ago.

States with the worst outbreaks are seeing the biggest jumps in vaccination rates, a CNBC analysis of CDC and Johns Hopkins University data shows. Across the 10 states with the highest levels of average daily new cases per capita, first doses are up 46% week over week, significantly higher than the nationwide increase of 31%. That group is made up of Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama, Nevada, Oklahoma, Alaska and Georgia.

"Y'all, we're going to have a rough few weeks," Mississippi's state health officer, Dr. Thomas Dobbs, told reporters last week. The state has fully vaccinated just 34.4% of its population compared with 49.4% of the total U.S. population.

"Delta is hitting us very strongly. We anticipate that we're going to continue to put additional pressure on the health-care system," he said, noting that there were 13 hospitals across the state that had "zero ICU beds." The outbreak there makes a strong case to get the shots. Some 93% of the state's Covid cases and 89% of the deaths in the past month are among unvaccinated individuals, he said.

The delta variant is sweeping across the country and leading to a new surge in cases, hospitalizations and deaths, especially in states with poor vaccination records. It is significantly more contagious than the original strain. And, unlike the ancestral Covid strain, it's transmitted as easily by both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people who have contracted the virus, federal health officials have warned.

Many of the states seeing a dramatic rise in vaccine rates have high levels of community infection and low levels of vaccinations. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia rank among the 10 least-vaccinated states in the country.

State health officials attribute the rising rates to a combination of factors including fears of the more contagious delta variant.

"Last week, we doubled the number of people who initiated the vaccine," Dr. Joseph Kanter, medical director of the Louisiana Department of Health, told reporters on a call hosted by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials on Thursday. "And this week we're on pace to double that number again. So we're on pace to quadruple our rate of vaccinations over two weeks."

In Alabama, first doses have jumped 62% over the past week to about 7,400 per day. It has the fifth-lowest vaccination rates in the nation among people 12 and older, while its outbreak, which is averaging 35 new cases per day per 100,000 residents, is the sixth worst in the U.S.

Alabama health officer Dr. Karen Landers said concerns over the delta variant, along with education efforts and partnerships with local leaders, were the likely reasons behind heightened interest in the jab.

"We continue to message the importance of being vaccinated and we know that the increase in variants and certainly the delta variant is more contagious," she said. "We feel like we're seeing an increase in persons understanding that need."

Still, Landers said, vaccine misinformation makes the progress slow going. Many people don't understand the regulatory drug approval process and are waiting for the FDA to grant full approval of the vaccines before getting the shots. Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson's vaccines have all been temporarily authorized on an emergency basis and are awaiting final approval.

"We know that many of our persons in Alabama are still not listening to the info we're providing in terms of scientific evidence," she said. "We must continue to combat misinformation in our state."

Conspiracy theories have also run amok, interfering with vaccine efforts in neighboring Mississippi, local health officials say.

"We hear it all, from the microchip insertion to the depopulation plan using the vaccine to magnetize people. I mean you name it, we've heard it," Mississippi Health Department Chief Medical Officer Dr. Dan Edney told reporters last week.

A Kaiser Family Foundation analysis published in early July shows that the gap in vaccination rates between counties that voted for President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump has widened throughout the course of the vaccine rollout, with Democrats much more likely to report having been vaccinated than Republicans.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey recently joined Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former White House press secretary and Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a growing chorus of Republican figures in recent days encouraging voters to get vaccinated.

"It's time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It's the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down," Ivey said last week.

State health officials in Texas, where the share of the eligible population with a shot is about 5 percentage points below the U.S. level of 66.9%, say the danger of the delta variant is pushing people to get vaccinated. Average daily case counts in the state are up 72% over the past week, according to Johns Hopkins data.

"We've seen an increase in vaccine doses administered over the last couple of weeks," Chris Van Deusen, director of media relations at the Texas Department of State Health Services, wrote in an email. "We've been talking a lot about how serious the situation is with the Delta variant as cases and hospitalizations increase, and people seem to be getting the message."

California saw a 16% weekly increase in the number of people getting their first vaccine dose, Gov. Gavin Newsom told reporters Monday, including a rise in vulnerable ZIP codes that have been "most impacted by this pandemic."

"In part because of delta and upticks in numbers of cases and hospitalizations, we're now seeing increased interest in Covid vaccination in selective areas and states," said Dr. Arthur Reingold, division head of epidemiology at the University of California, Berkeley.

Public officials hope the trend continues to rise as governments and businesses up the pressure on employees and customers to get the shots.

The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs is requiring Covid vaccinations for all health-care personnel who work in Veterans Health Administration facilities to be fully immunized. Governors in California and New York announced plans in the last week to mandate vaccines for state workers or face stringent health protocols. Biden laid out a similar federal policy Thursday and urged governors to offer $100 payments to people who get their first vaccine doses. Google was one of the first major employers to say it's mandating vaccines for anyone returning to the office this fall.

Everyone can wear a mask and stay home if they choose.

 

[Lubaolong]

Looks like Florida picked up another 21000 COVID cases in the last 24 hours, its single largest day so far. Cities are losing capacity to field 911 calls. Wonder how long DeSantis plans on holding out.

Maybe. But you still haven't given any sort of coherent answer to my question from your thread last week about why Florida, the worst of the worst in the eyes of many on the left, sits at number 26 in mortality while so many states with state leadership that Democrats want to praise for taking the virus seriously actually have much worse results. You did say something about the blue states getting hit hard earlier, but like I said, that doesn't work well for your whipping boy Florida.

Here, let me refresh your memory with where you walked out of the conversation without a response:

Like I said, I feel like that works for New York and New Jersey. But dig into the numbers and you'll see it doesn't work overall. As just one example, Florida started spiking for its first wave in mid June 2020, while Michigan didn't get its first wave until mid October. And yet Michigan currently sits at number 12 for mortality and Florida sits at number 25.

Michigan is notorious for having some of the most strict lockdown regulations, while Florida is notorious for having some of the most lax. Florida got hit harder, earlier. Yet Michigan flew past them when they got hit later.

Again, I'd like know what the explanation for this would be. Not some narrative that only seems to fit on the surface, but an actual explanation that matches the data.
