The Hill ^ | 11/12/2021 | CAROLINE VAKIL

For the first time in the last two months, coronavirus cases are trending upward again in a majority of states as the holiday season ramps up, USA Today reported, analyzing COVID-19 data from Johns Hopkins University.

The newspaper reported that 29 states saw higher COVID-19 case counts for the week ending on Wednesday in comparison to the week prior.

USA Today noted that the increase in COVID-19 cases in states was being predominantly driven by Northern states like Vermont despite the fact that the state boasts high vaccination rates.

We need more undocumented, unvetted and not checked for disease illegal aliens in this country to get the scare numbers up. And fly them to the red states. their numbers aren’t high enough and it’s embarrassing the blue states.

Edited for accuracy.

I'm thinking this is more likely. Why are they pushing so hard on "vaccines"?

1. Control. They've taken so much power through pandemic scare tactics, prolonging the pandemic is a feature, not a problem.

2. Get rid of the control group. If there is a large population of unvaxxed doing just fine, it shows the ridiculous nature of the overreaction we've been through.

It is seasonal! Lower in summer when we’re outside, higher when doors are closed and we’re inside. Has been this way with the flu since the flu first appeared.

They hate The Holidays, and want to eliminate them.

15 days to flatten... LOL.

More like 15 years, if we’re lucky. The willful destruction of our nation goes on. At some point the American people will have to wake up and put a stop to this madness or we’re done.

I would add another factor... the CDC is “encouraging” labs to do flu tests at the same time that Covid PCR tests are given. But most are still not. Most PCR tests for Covid cannot differentiate between the Flu and Covid. People are being told multiple times a day through the media to get Covid tests whenever they experience flu symptoms. As a result we have a huge number of false positives for Covid.

Not that it really matters... because the current variants are not any more serious for most people than garden variety flu any way. The Democrats are using this “uptick” as another excuse for all the madness that continues to go on.

Apparently USA Today is simply ignoring all context to manufacture fraudulent fear porn.

In August, COVID cases surged in Florida and other Southern states while dropping in Northern states, because people in Southern states mostly stay indoors in the air conditioning when it is humid and 100 degrees outside.

In September, cases started to plummet in Florida and the South and rise in that North, because people in the South started going outside again and people in the North started to stay indoors in the heat. Cases will peak in the North around February.

This is not rocket science. You are unlikely to catch any virus when you are outdoors in the sunshine breathing fresh air. When you are cooped up indoors breathing recycled air you are likely to catch whatever bug anyone else in the building has at the time.

Like my grandmother kept telling me when I was a child, “Go outside and play, it’s good for you.”

There was a spike in warmer weather.

Singapore got hit hard, and they have a tropical climate year round.

And yes, the numbers are rising. Big question is “How high, and who is getting the vid?”

There is coming a day soon, and may be here in some circles, where dissent is considered treason to the new order of things. Gaslighting has never known such a stage.

Well, when you got all of government and 95% of the media aboard the chicken little train then it’s understandable.

Prolonging the Plannedemic Puritanism appears to be the goal.

If a second Thanksgiving, a second Christmas, a third Easter and a third Independence day can be squelched through fearmongering (if not outright government oppression) it may not be much longer before people will not only not wish to return to pre-Plannedemic celebrations, but will actually begin to lose the memory of what such celebrations were like.

This is the CCP’s global “Cultural Revolution”.

Simply anti-vaxxer propaganda:

Did previous PCR tests confuse COVID-19 cases for influenza cases?

Not at all. “The reported numbers were based on highly accurate laboratory tests,” says Dr. Broadhurst. “The original test could detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 with very high specificity,” – meaning the test does its job very well.
