HEALTH & FITNESS Los Angeles County reports 16,000 new COVID-19 cases in one day By ABC7.com staff Wednesday, December 29, 2021 4:16PM
EMBED <>MORE VIDEOS For the first time since late September, the number of people in Los Angeles County hospitals with COVID-19 has surpassed the 1,000 mark.
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles County reported more than 16,000 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, the highest one-day total seen in a year as the highly-contagious omicron variant takes hold throughout the country.
The 16,510 COVID-19 new cases doubles the number from earlier this week. Advertisement
The county is also reporting 25 new deaths from the virus and state figures show 1,251 people hospitalized in the county, an increase of nearly 200 from Tuesday.
The county previously hit more than 16,000 cases in December 2020, and then jumped over 21,000 in January 2021, a devastating winter surge that came before the vaccine was widely available.
With the vaccine now available, however, the deaths figure is sharply lower than that previous winter surge, when the county was routinely reporting more than 200 deaths a day throughout December and January.
Over the past week, the county's test positivity rate has more than doubled from 8.7% to 17.6% as lines have once again gotten long in front of public testing sites, and as stores report a shortage of at-home testing kits.

Those masks and vaccine passports really did the trick, eh?
/s
Wrong. Deaths are lower because the new variant is at least 10x less lethal.
not sure if this is legit
Reopen California Schools
@ReopenCASchools
In cruel acknowledgment cloth masks don’t work,
@lapublichealth
will be updating LA school guidance so that no one (for the next 2-4 wks), including students, should only wear a cloth mask. They will have to wear a N95, KN95, or a surgical mask (preferably w/ a cloth mask).
Suffocate the little children!
Dem libs really hate kids.
“Wrong. Deaths are lower because the new variant is at least 10x less lethal.”
Exactly. This again just shows how disingenuous the media is.
They’re training the kids early to do whatever the leftists want. And parents, by and large, are letting it happens. Even if you think they aren’t manipulating your kids, they likely are.
There is a drive through testing facility about 2 blocks from my place, at the intersection of two 6 lane highways.
Since all the omicron propaganda hit, the lines to get in it are actually blocking several lanes of that intersection.
Each car typically has just the driver wearing a mask.
Sad that there are so many that are that helpless.
.
Plus the thousands of illegals being released into the public without testing...this stinks like this is intentional! 2020 redux mail in ballots...HERE WE COME! Don’t think for one minute the EFFIN EVIL RATS and their supportive globalists elites and the mediaVOMITS are going to relinquish power that easy! CHEAT BY HOOK OR CROOK! That Fat chairwoman bitch from the RNC better put down that fruit cake and start mobilizing!
More than 16,000...
More than 16,000...
More than 21,000...
That what we want, news fabricators, nice accurate numbers. /s
Tragic that so many yearn for the Gulag.
16k cases in a county of eleven million? That’s it, I’m wearing my mask of obedience now. Ridiculous, and shameful people are still allowing this fear porn to run their lives.
Vax is working great, ain’t it?
If only they would get the jab.../s
CDC just admitted many of these thousands could have actually had some type of virus anytime in the last 12 weeks AND NOT CURRENLY HAVE ACTIVE ACTUAL COVID. THESE NUMBERS ARE PURE GARBAGE.
So... a 99.85% survival rate across the board.
aaaaaahhhhhhh.
There’s the extent of my panic.
