The surge has also been contributing to increasing hospitalizations, with the number of coronavirus-positive patients at L.A. County hospitals topping 3,400 — the highest level since February last year.

About 14% of the patients with COVID-19 were in the ICU, and 7% were on a ventilator.

“The good news is that while hospitalizations continue to climb, Public Health data shows that many positive cases are admitted for reasons other than COVID but, are identified with COVID when tested for COVID upon hospital admission,”

Meanwhile our current vaccines are basically worthless as per the Pfizer CEO!

Pfizer CEO: Our Vaccines Offer ‘Limited, If Any Protection’

Speaking during remarks to a J.P. Morgan healthcare conference this week, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla openly stated current vaccines the company developed for Wuhan coronavirus offer “limited, if any” protection against contracting current variants of the disease. He then encouraged booster shots.

The statement from Bourla comes as the Biden administration continues to justify vaccine mandates for federal workers, contractors and private businesses. The Supreme Court heard arguments about President Biden’s mandates for private companies and medical workers last week. A ruling is expected soon on the constitutionality of the mandates.

A number of people who have pointed out the waning efficacy of Pfizer’s vaccines, which Bourla touted last year as being “100 percent” effective against contracting or transmitting the virus, have been banned by social media companies.

so they have 2M positive tests with about 3400 admissions.

that’s about a 0.1% hospitalization rate, the same ratio as we saw in our hospital in early 2020. then about one in 10 to icu. same as in 2020. and that’s a record for them? and as the excerpt suggests most of those are people with other issues who happen to test pos for the ccp virus.

all the two years of econ destruction, stealing freedom, suppression of real treatment for jab money, all the sound, fury and fear porn... all for the “wuflu.”

Lotsa testing and would bet even those with a sniffle are being admitted instead of telling them to go home. It’s all about money.

Even after Pfizer’s “announcement” that vaccines really don’t do much anymore, all these cities are keeping their vaccine mandates!

2 million positive cases implies that 1 in every 5 people in the county currently has Covid. At that rate, the virus is soon going to run out of fresh victims.

3. 2.9 million had heart burn
4. 0.6 million had tooth ache
5. 4.9 million had indigestion

Apparently getting Covid has become the latest fad, and great conversation topic at cocktail parties.

This was overheard last week:

“That’s nuthin… after the booster, I had a Class IV heart attack. And the guy next to me was on a ventilator.”

Basically everyone in my LA office came down with the coof over the past two weeks.

Without exception, symptoms were sore throat, sniffles, mild fatigue. The common expression was “I didn’t think this could be COVID, but that’s what the test said”.

“Even after Pfizer’s “announcement” that vaccines really don’t do much anymore, all these cities are keeping their vaccine mandates!”

Amazing how stupid the shot givers are being after the Pfizer CEO basically say his vaccinations are worthless.

Now, Any deaths or severe problems, even possibly related to the vaccines will make rookie lawyers millionaires.
