Covid-19 hospitalizations are once again rising in the United States.

Among the 30-plus states that have seen increases in Covid-19 hospitalizations over the last two weeks, six stand out.

Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois have accounted for the majority of the country’s increase in hospital beds filled, according to an NBC News analysis of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data.

LOCK IT ALL DOWN!

What’s those states vax percents?

I believe these are the six most populous states on the wrong side of the Mason-Dixon line.

What happens if one substitutes Mass or NJ for Indiana?

5 Dem & 1 RINO governor. I see a pattern here. 🙂

Is that measured in percentages / per capita or is it sheer numbers? Also, perhaps it’s worth noting that these are all northern states with cold, dark winters. It’s been shown time and again that Vitamin D levels are notoriously low — even lower than the nationwide low levels — in WuFlu deaths and serious sickness. We’re likely to see even higher numbers ahead as winter settles in.

Sorry, didn’t see Indiana. 🙂

Where’s Texas, dammit?

We’ve had dozens of super spreader events in the last 3 months, schools have been open, so why isn’t Texas inundated with new outbreaks of Covid?

…rhetorical question lol.

Figures never lie, but liars figure.

Where is the illogical criticism of the North as the MSM does against the South in matters?

Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois

Vax %s of these states.....

NY 69.23%
IL 62.47%
PA 59%
OH 53.75%
IN 51%

But....remember....the classifications for fully jabbed keep changing.

I believe these are the six most populous states on the wrong side of the Mason-Dixon line.

California is on both sides, and is not generally considered a "southern" state. This may have as much to do with weather as ideology or local politics.

What’s those states vax percents?

According to the CDC, the following are the percentages of those states' populations (i) age 12 and older and (ii) age 65 and older which are "fully vaccinated" (i.e., which for the CDC's purposes here, does not mean those persons have had a so-called "booster," but, rather, two of the Pfizer or Moderna vaxxes and one of the J&J):

MI: 63.7% (12 and older) / 85.8% (65 and older)

OH 62.3% (12 and older) / 85.6 (65 and older)

IN 59.9% (12 and older) / 85.3% (65 and older)

PA 68% (12 and older) / 85.5% (65 and older)

NY 79.9% (12 and older) / 87.2% (65 and older)

IL 72.1% (12 and older) / 86.4% (65 and older)

I’d suggest that, at least on the surface, it has entirely to do with weather.

Still, as it says in the good book “The South will rise again.”

(perhaps the quote used this way is a little out of its original context for the taste of some . . .)

Why?

Because we stopped watching the Insanity on TV.

And because we have leaned to us early treatment. HCQ, Ivermectin, Quercetin, and Monocolonal antibodies. (D-3, Zinc, fresh orange juice, fresh grated ginger, Vitamin C)

Many nurses have reported the following phenomenon: if an unvaccinated person is admitted to the hospital for a heart condition and the tests positive they are labeled a Covid patient. If a vaccinated person is admitted for a heart condition and tests positive they are labeled a heart patient.

[SaxxonWoods]

“What’s those states vax percents”

60-70% roughly.

They are claiming a very high percentage of the hospitalized are unvaccinated.

Aren’t all those states at about the same longitude? It seems like high case numbers are moving north and fading in the south.

How many of the millions of illegals are the vector?

One can, of course, pretty much crunch COVID numbers anyway one wants in order to advance a given narrative, if advancing a narrative is what one is interested in doing. I mean, anyone can play that game.

According to data collected by the National Center for Health Statistic, based on official death certifications submitted to it by individual state health departments, for the week ending December 4, 2021, the five states that have reported the greatest number of deaths involving COVID are:

New York (271), Michigan (223), Pennsylvania (168), Minnesota (123), and Arizona (115).

Comparing individual states to each other in this way, in the immediate term, is problematic, because each state reports these data at different rates. Some report quickly. With others, the information trickles in over many weeks. With this caveat in mind, reported COVID deaths for selected other states for the week ending December 4, 2021 include:

Texas (78), Illinois (77), Wisconsin (77), New Jersey (59), Florida (57), and California (50).

Larger populations, larger numbers of deaths. No surprise there. More notable (for me at least) is what we're seeing in states like Maine (22 COVID deaths reported so far for the week ending December 4, 2021) and New Hampshire (also 22 COVID deaths).
