As many as 1.3 million new COVID-19 cases are expected in the US by Christmas Day — and as many as 15,600 additional deaths by Jan. 8 — as Omicron continues to spread in the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned.

The grim predictions mean that “a total of 837,000 to 845,000 COVID-19 deaths will be reported by this date,” the CDC said in its latest update from Wednesday.

In addition, the number of new daily confirmed hospital admissions will likely increase over the next month, with 6,300 to 18,400 likely reported on Jan. 7, the agency announced.

“This week’s national ensemble predicts 620,000 to 1,300,000 new cases are likely to be reported in the week ending December 25, 2021,” it said.

I would trust a crack dealer more than I trust the CDC.

Keep in mind that influenza kills between 15,000 and 65,000 in any year. That’s still happening. Covid didn’t change that, regardless of why the lying government says.

Mail-in ballots must be preserved; the revolution must succeed.

Great point! Especially if one’s neutralizing antibodies have been reduced by vaccination.

So?

How many flu deaths?

People get sick, people die. I wish most at the CDC would follow suit.

The CDC is a TOTAL FAILURE!

And what is so shameful to me is that all the time there were cures and preventatives out there that could have saved millions of lives.

But the elites, the social media sites Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc and the mainstream media covered up that information because they wanted to sell vaccines and they wanted people to die!....what an awful combination of sickness!

As long as they prevent us from getting early treatments, their numbers may be valid.

You really need to go to your room, and curl into a ball praying the big bug doesn’t get you.

You extrapolate for a year based on that number? No variation? No acknowledgement that not all “covid deaths” are covid?

Covid is endemic. It’s here, it’s not going anywhere, and we don’t have anything to stop it.

I repeat, so?

ChicagoConservative27 :" Here we go again... "

It is known today that the CDC is no longer an arm of the government
but is, in reality, "owned" by Big Pharma and its big financial contributors.
CDC Science is dead to me (!)
