    Default CDC Warns Of ‘Impending Doom’ Of COVID Surges And Deaths.


    CDC Warns Of ‘impending Doom’ Of COVID Surges And Deaths.


    "Dr. Rochelle Walensky: I'm going to lose the script, and I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom."

    [Judy Woodruff] "We hear Dr. Rochelle Walensky at the CDC speak of impending doom. These are some of the most sobering words we have heard from the administration in weeks. Are they warranted?

    Dr. Leana Wen:


    Well, Judy, we are seeing that the number of cases are now increasing.

    First, there was a plateau, and now they're increasing, with specific hot spots across the country. We have seen this playbook before. We know what happens next, which is that we will also see a rise in hospitalizations, and, unfortunately, a rise in deaths after that."

    "I want to urge people to get vaccinated when it is your turn, to really keep your risk to a minimum until then and then, after that, know you are very well-protected, but still keep on wearing a mask while in public."

    "It is often framed as, we're now in this race of vaccines vs. variants. And to some extent, that is true, because we do have more transmissible variants. And when we have something that is more transmissible, it means that the activities that we once thought were pretty safe are now going to be higher risk, because something spreads more easily.

    There is a third factor, though, here as well, and that's human behavior. We are seeing restrictions being lifted all over the country. In many states, everything can be operating at 100 percent capacity. And I actually understand the reason to do that. We want our businesses to come back.

    But I don't understand the lifting of mask mandates, because, for the time being, we need to understand masks and vaccines as the ticket back to pre-pandemic normal. That's our ticket out of this pandemic."

    ***

    Do something for your country, anti-maskers, anti-vaxers. Get the vaccine. Wear a mask. Do like your fellow Americans are doing. It's the patriotic thing to do!

Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions.

    Dude, there's a difference between the CDC "warning of" and the CDC director saying "recurring feeling I have of impending doom." She's concerned. I get it. Human behavior in large groups is only somewhat predictable. What she's seeing is the US running up thousands, if not additional tens of thousands of needless deaths because some people are too fucking stupid to get a vaccine.

    IMO, there's a lot to be said for "Evolution in action".

    FWIW, I'll get my second Moderna Tuesday and fully expect to take Wednesday off. Not a BFD.

    Will Pres.Moron ever get around to blaming China, and demand accountability....or does he lack the balls of our previous POTUS?

    Well then you're doing your part. You have a right to speak your mind.

    I didn't write the headline. All I did was post it. Is PBS guilty of sensationalizing it? Perhaps. But then why would they do such a thing. To get through to people? To save lives?

    What happens when everyone but trumpers and their Q friends get vaccinated


    Will they create variants while they die


    We get boosters and they spread is among themselves until it dies out or kills them all?


    It’s a really weird counter productive lie to persist with for them

    Such a dumb right-wing thing to say. There is no proof according to people who track the origins of viruses. You should inform them of your superior knowledge which cannot be refuted or argued with.
    OK, let's pretend they did it. Exactly how should we blame China? Perhaps at the UN? What is our payoff for that?
    What did Trump get for bitching at China and calling the virus childish names? Were we safer?

    COVID is a highly selective killer. Very few who get the disease and pass it around end up dying themselves. That's one of the reasons it is so resilient.

    There's no rhyme or reason to it.

    A large number of people are getting vaccinated yet the CDC is warning of impending doom? No wonder people start to tune these fools out. Do they really desire we shut the country down again? This is asinine.

    But if the only people not vaccinated keep passing it among themselves there will be variants created


    Us vaccinated people will keep getting the boosters for the emerging variants


    Why didn’t we do natural heard immunity ?


    Because the price is lots of death and sickness


    There are lingering issues for many even if the do make it through


    They are killing their own fellow adherents


    While the smart stay current with the vaccines


    The deaths will be among them

    It makes no sense to persist in this tact


    What do they gain?

    By posting it, without comment, you are tacitly agreeing with it. Should we hold any of the RWNJs to a different standard?

    Using emotional rhetoric works to an extent, but overall it breeds distrust since it's dishonest.

    It’s slowing


    Many republicans keep claiming they will never get protected with a vaccine

    It’s republicans who will die wack

    They can’t pass it to liberals

    We will get the shots to protect our Lives


    A large swath of republicans will be the ones getting sick and getting the new variants



    What do any of you gain for this tact?

    Everybody's goal is that we all get our lives back and be done with the pandemic. Ignoring, wishing and pretending has not made that happen, so we are going to have to coordinate our actions on logical mass measures.

    People have a choice.

    We can be part of the solution, or we can be part of what keeps the pandemic going.

    Let's all choose to get our lives back by doing what we need to do to rid ourselves of this menace.

    The CDC is out of credibility....too many lies....too much incompetence.....too much desire to rob me of my freedom.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
