The US could see 200,000 Covid-19 cases a day within the next six weeks, former CDC director says

(CNN)The US could see about four times the current rate of Covid-19 cases in the next four to six weeks as the Delta variant spreads and the population hits a wall on vaccinations, the former CDC director told CNN.

"We're heading into a rough time. It's likely, if our trajectory is similar to that in the United Kingdom, that we could see as many as 200,000 cases a day," Dr. Tom Frieden said, adding the US likely won't see the "horrific death tolls" of earlier in the pandemic thanks to the number of vulnerable people who are vaccinated. But, he said, "You will see a steady increase in deaths, and these are preventable deaths."

“again, as i said, “IF” no hospitalization is required, i fail to see the hysteria.

other than that, it is contributing to herd immunity...”

Of course but the “if” on no hospitalization won’t occur. It will occur. Hopefully, it will not be too bad but there will be people felled by the ChiCom Virus as this version is more transmissible.

So that means the people with underlying vulnerabilities: Obese, diabetes, heart & lung conditions are very much at risk.

Hopefully, the herd immunity in some places helps but the US is a big country. Herd immunity is not the same in area to area. There are openings for the ChiCom Virus to hit.

How are they coming up with these numbers?

If so many people have been “Vaccinated “, who ate they testing and why?

I know someone who was hospitalized this summer with Covid (steroid treatment no ventilator) and was not told which variant he had.

using the same tests that can’t differentiate tween ChinaFlu and the flu?

i’m not saying it’s not a real threat, just don’t believe the continual lies and fearporn they feed us...

the IF is on a case by case basis... only a fool would think otherwise

of course there will be more, but only hospitalized cases matter!

From your data: 69% of severe cases are from the vaccinated.

The vaccination rate for Israel is 59% fully vaccinated.

Draw your own conclusions.

Yes, you don’t go to the hospital unless you have a severe ChiCom Virus infection.

There will be hospitalizations. There’s no if about it.

Delta Strain, Andromeda Strain, call it what ever you like. As the virus mutates away from the original Fauci human engineered version it becomes more like the common cold and less serious to anyone without existing serious health problems.

Deaths will definitely follow cases but probably not to the same degree as with Covid ClassicTM. Delta is just not as deadly. Eyeballing the data you can kind of see what may be the beginning of a looser coupling between cases and deaths.

a “CASE” is not the same as “HOSPITALIZATION”...

I am still hearing about deadly ventilators being used and supposedly most new cases are Delta.

What do you mean by deadly ventilators? Serious question. I’ve not heard this.

There is no shortage of vaccine. Everyone in the US has had the opportunity to make their own risk assessment and choose to vax or not.

So leave it at that. I have crisis fatigue from the media crying wolf, wolf, endlessly non-stop. Most of the information is wrong or hopelessly inflated into fear porn.

I am so done with public health “experts” and their useless prognostications.

“Then all their control efforts against American freedoms will peter out.”

And, do we really believe that?

Oh, so it’s not the total number/proportion of vaccinated people (who is at an all time high) that protects us, it’s the rate of new vaccinations! Who new?? [moron]

They need a hook to get people to capitulate.

Americans are not Canadiens and Aussies. They are getting crushed, their rights are being assaulted due to some small amount of ‘cases.’

It’s a warning to us. Many in Western Europe are taking to the streets in major protests and unlike the Canadiens, are not taking it laying down.

In fact, expect those protests to get bigger. The globalists are seeking to impose their totalitarian will. The people are not rolling over.

We should be prepared to stand up here. We’re the next target. There’s no illusion there.
