The other day we noted that the US had encountered signs gleaned from wastewater samples taken across the country that COVID cases might be on the rise after weeks of steady declines that recently prompted authorities to start dialing back pandemic-era requirements.
But China and the US aren’t the only places where case numbers have started to rise. A surge in coronavirus infections in western Europe has experts and health authorities on alert for another wave of the pandemic in the US even as most of the country has done away with restrictions after a sharp decline in cases.
Experts in Europe claim that the strain they’re seeing is a mutated form of omicron. It’s a subvariant known as BA. 2, which appears to be more transmissible than the original strain, BA. 1, and is fueling the outbreak overseas.
Germany, a nation of 83 million people, recorded roughly 250,000 new cases and 249 deaths last Friday, prompting Health Minister Karl Lauterbach to call the nation’s situation “critical.”
But despite this, Germany is still allowing most coronavirus restrictions to end Sunday. The UK had a seven-day average of 65,894 cases and 79 deaths as of Sunday, according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Research Center. The Netherlands, home to fewer than 18 million people, was averaging more than 60,000 cases the same day.
All told, roughly a dozen nations are seeing spikes in coronavirus infections caused by BA. 2, a cousin of omicron, which is known as BA. 1. Over the past two years, outbreaks in Europe have typically been followed by outbreaks in the US.
So far, BA. 2 appears to be spreading more slowly in the US than it has overseas, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear, Debbie Dowell, chief medical officer for the CDC’s COVID response, said in a briefing for clinicians sponsored by the Infectious Diseases Society of America Saturday.
But as far as Europe is concerned, if cases continue to rise, how long before the ECB considers reversing course on its tightening of monetary policy?
People getting colds and the flu during cold and flu season?
Don’t tell the women they’ll have us all in masks again. .
Must mean the Ukraine war is about to wind down.
(People getting colds and the flu during cold and flu season?)
I know. It’s shocking!
I am reminded of that short bald character on Seinfeld, when he said “Why must there always be a problem?”
There’s a few men who seem worried too.
I guess the War isn’t quite the terrifying event they had
hoped for.
Back to COVID-19 fear porn.

"The consequences of a shooting event in Ukraine will be far reaching well beyond a distraction for the American public; my intent here is not to suggest only Americans will be affected. My point is that there are certain places in the world that are naturally resistant to the globalist scheme, and freedom minded Americans are a primary obstacle. If there is a large-scale rebellion against the Great Reset, it’s going to start here. The globalists know this as well, which is why the US will undoubtedly be centrally involved in the Ukraine quagmire."

"You don't fight Russia and America. You get Russia and America to fight each other, and destroy each other."
Elementary.
It is indeed a curiosity why the CIA refuses to take out America's true enemies...almost like they're marching to the beat of a different drummer...
I think people are finally getting tired of the Covid lifestyle. They are taking fewer tests so they won’t be counted as cases. The only way the academic left has to increase Covid detection is to test poop and pee. I wonder what other sources of Covid might show up in poop and pee and how many false positive tests they get from sewage considering how much other weird stuff gets poured down sinks and flushed down toilets.
the vaxxed....
((YAWN))
No one cares. COVID was the flu and it was sold as Ebola. We won’t make that mistake again.
That’s funny… and true!
They are creating choice now or a combo of any one, war pandemic or both. The great reset is upon us
Propaganda horsesh!t
Whadda ya know..... just in time for the mid-terms.
The fluffers for the Wuhanic Plague missed their true calling.
They could have been epic in the porn industry.
Technically correct, as the scam continues.
Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center posts for 17 March 2022 "968,331" Covid deaths in a nation of 331 million.
But for China, it posts "9,483" Covid deaths in a nation of 1.4 billion.
Both tallies "rise." But the enormous disparity between the deaths in two countries illustrate the scam.
But the article shows the confluence of political themes, as it states "But as far as Europe is concerned, if cases continue to rise, how long before the ECB considers reversing course on its tightening of monetary policy?"
Cases rise every day, because that is what a daily counter is. Monetary policy is now related to Covid? Of course. In the same way as monetary policy is related to climate change, equity and migration, the Russia-Ukraine war and of course the media hysteria which folds all into the ongoing crisis which only greater government control can "solve" if it only had more power. And money.
