CBS ^ | 30 December 2021 | NANCY CHEN

The U.S. reported nearly half a million new COVID infections in a single day, marking the largest daily total of any country during the pandemic. More than 486,000 new cases were reported in a 24-hour period, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

Fifteen states reported a record-high number of average daily infections: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington. Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., are also averaging more daily cases than ever.

With COVID-19 cases rising so fast, fueled by the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, it's estimated that more than three Americans are testing positive every second...

How can we have record number of cases when 70%+ of the population is vaccinated?

The vaccine does not stop infection or transmission.

This is a virus. It will be with us forever, just as the Spanish Flu is still with us.

A real vaccine or natural immunity is the only protection that will work. A real vaccine is years away.

“The good news is, we actually can test 1/2 a million in a day”

The tests are GARBAGE so why on earth is that good news?

Yes, IDIOTS who are easily duped by propaganda can be panicked into thinking they urgently need to be tested. Those IDIOTS will wait on long lines.

‘No, ‘we’ will not all be getting covid. Don’t project your opinion on the rest of the nation.’

uh, yes we will, in some shape or form; in fact we have all already had it, in the form of what we used to call a head cold...there are numerous upper respiratory virii capable of infecting humans, what in the world makes you think anybody is going to escape them...?

“I am un-jabbed, never had the Kung-Flu/China Virus (no antibodies showing up), and have been around infected for the last 2 years.
IF I am going to get it, I would rather it happen so I can get it out of the way”

That exactly describes me and my sentiment.

‘Either way you separate it out, tho, it’s 1 in 400 Americans already dead from covid.’

if you’re stupid enough to believe government issue numbers about covid ‘deaths’ (whether the proximate cause of death or not, just the inclusion of covid on the death cert counts as a covid mortality) there’s really not much anyone can do for your condition...

Vaccinated people can still spread the virus.

Afraid of what if you’re unvaxxed? Being hassled to death by Karens and Fauci stooges?

I’d guess it’s a cold. People are freaking out now when they get one. The PCR test, antigen test and all those home test are all flawed not to mention they have no idea about actual cases, just deeply flawed known cases.

Another “historical” moment for the Brandon/Harris administration.

“Every unvaccinated in a herd drops the herd immunity exponentially.”

that makes perfect sense because the vaxxed can neither be infected nor infect others with covid...

Objection, Your Honor! Counsel stating facts not in evidence!

only unvaxxed can be infected and infect others with covid ...

Objection, Your Honor! Counsel stating facts not in evidence!

if EVERYONE was vaxxed no one would ever get sick with covid ever again ...

Objection, Your Honor! Counsel stating facts not in evidence!

just like the polio vaccine wiped out polio ...

Objection, Your Honor! Counsel stating facts not in evidence!

You sly dog, catnipman! Baiting us with these obviously specious assertions! Well played, sir! Well played!

Are you sure you’re on the right site? All I see you post is fear porn from sources true conservatives despise. If you don’t think CBS, CNN et al, isn’t the problem, well you should just move along.

They’re just using up the remaining stock of PCR tests.

— “Every unvaccinated in a herd drops the herd immunity exponentially.”

You asked me to define something for you. I did.

Your turn. Please define “exponentially,” and show your math in the case of this pandemic using some sourced data.

Yep! Just in time to get their midterm election heist in place for 2022. This is a redux of 2020! Honestly, I doubt the republicans will win the majority. THE CHEATING RATS have perfected the great steal to perfection with the help of their colluders and RINOS!
