“Now, younger adults account for the vast majority of new infections. With so many seniors vaccinated and now protected, it’s logical the hospital patient mix would trend younger. But doctors from multiple Pennsylvania health systems this week said the overall number of younger people being hospitalized has risen. It’s going on all over the country.

At Geisinger Health System, people 25-49 accounted for fewer than one hospital admission per day during Pennsylvania’s big surges, which came in early and late 2020, said Dr. Gerald Maloney, the chief medical officer. Now, an average of nearly three per day are being hospitalized.”

Our six county monitoring area north of Gay Frisco for the past few weeks is seeing the same trend with the 25-50 year old.

A maybe age 30+ something son of people, we know ended in the Covid Ward at a local hospital and is now on a regular ward. He was in great shape.

A guy in his late 70’s/early 80’s was admitted to our PPO’s critical Covid ward this week. He was in great shape as a non drinker/smoker and still working everyday as a skilled handyman. He hates doctors and hospitals. He had to be really sick to allow himself to be admitted.

One more thing I forgot to add. If cases are rising and monoclonal antibody treatment is a life saver then I’m left somewhat confused. I’ve had covid and contacted the Red Cross to make a convalescent plasma donation. I was told cases are way down, they have plenty stocked so they aren’t taking anymore.

“how many of these *teenagers* are the infected illegals, being imported, and scattered, everywhere?”

Even with data from a fairly balanced reporter, it is impossible to determine if the increase in CV19 cases in younger patients are Hispanic or not with the daily releases. If they are Hispanic, the question of legal or not is not allowed.

The newer drugs are enabling Doctors to send CV19 patients home to be treated or to get them out of an ICU bed to basically a normal treatment level bed and be treated. We know of one of each category posted above and being treated.

Yesterday, we found out that a man our age has been admitted to the big PPO’s serious Covid 19 ward. He was in great shape and no serious medical problems. He hates hospitals and doctors, so he had to be really sick to be admitted.

“Nah....it is just another Flu...will disappear in summer /S”

Since just 6% of “reported China Virus” are from the virus alone and since the “reported China Virus deaths include drownings and car accident victims or anyone who died who was in close proximity of someone who was diagnosed with this virus, the REAL number who actually even HAD the virus was substantially less.

It will turn out this virus was much less deadly then some in the past and in reality would have been even less deadly had the fools who were in charge seen what the rest of us saw early on. The only folks needing protection were those over 65 and that could have been accomplished by allowing the use of known therapeutics which were easily available but forbidden by the morons calling the shots.

Umm: “Pennsylvania doctors attribute the rise in the rate of infections among younger people mainly to lapses in social distancing and mask-wearing, and the fact they only recently became eligible for vaccine.”
Oh, gimme a break. A more likely cause is that younguns have been herded into testing centers at a greater rate. I loathe agreeing with anything the CCP has to say, but: Baizuo, Baizuo, Baizuo — we are surrounded by the buggers.
There was an English king that made himself infamous by muttering a potential fix for his pestiferous priest. Perhaps we need a king.

COVID-19 is just dangerous enough to make all of this sound plausible, while not really being dangerous enough to kill off any significant portion of the tax base.

A perfect bio-weapon, for one devious enough to devise it.

Yeah by golly, they only have a 99.9+% chance of surviving without any stinking vaccine! (The OVERALL % of surviving is 99.8%, I imagine for young people it is 99.9+%)

Would this be a result of isolation, lack of exercise, and constant mask wearing?

Fauci would never admit it, but I bet you are right.

Demographic Characteristics of People Receiving COVID-19 Vaccinations in the United States

Blacks are more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and poor outcomes than are Whites, but Whites are more likely to have been vaccinated against COVID-19 than Blacks.

Young kids getting infected and recovering from COVID-19 just accelerates the arrival of herd immunity. That’s not a bad thing.
——————-
Correct, but there is more to it. Age under 35 has a 99.9999 percent of survival, insisting a group that has virtually no threat from the Covid Flu, be pumped with experimental “ stuff” is criminal and points to a sinister agenda. More coming out every day about the dangers of MRNA jabs, the majority of info being silenced by .gov, MSM, social media.

Remember pre Chinus the crisis of youths vaping pot mixed with vitamin E oil? The oil damaged their lungs. Anything that harms your lungs will make you more susceptible to Chinus
