COVID 'stealth' variant is fueling rise in cases in HALF of US states with infections up 25% up on last week - but White House pandemic chief says Americans should not be 'excessively concerned'

Covid cases are now rising in 26 U.S. states and are up 25% nationwide, reversing the months-long trend of case declines coming off of the winter Omicron surge

Dr Ashish Jha, the White House Covid response coordinator, told NBC Monday that he is not overly concerned about this recent shift

Hospitalizations with the virus are at their lowest point of the pandemic so far, Jha notes, with Covid deaths having cratered 25% over the past week as well

The 'stealth' variant is largely responsible for these increases, now making up 72% of US cases, the CDC reports .

Covid cases are starting to rise once again in parts of the U.S. after nearly three months of declines coming off of the massive winter Omicron surge - but health officials say it's not a cause for concern because hospitalizations and deaths remain low.

Dr Ashish Jha, the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator who also served as dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, told NBC's TODAY and MSNBC's Morning Joe on Monday morning that despite recent case rises in more than half of U.S. states, Americans do not have reason to be 'excessively concerned' about the current pandemic situation.

According to most recent data, daily Covid cases have increased over the past two weeks in 26 U.S. states. Cases are increasing nationwide as well, with data from Friday, April 8, reporting an average of 36,204 daily infections - a 25 percent jump from the previous week.

Far more people are dying every day in the US from fentanyl overdosing than from Covid. Even more die each day in car accidents.

Case count is falling drastically, death count is below 100. Critical care patients are 1,619 nationwide as of today, down from pandemic highs of nearly 20,000.

The plandemic is OVER.

Try to bring back the bullshit and things will get, umm, interesting.

Concerned about what?

As long as the tinpot dictators like Gavin Newsom don’t have another bout of power madness we’ll be just fine.

If you feel perfectly fine and have no symptoms, contact a doctor immediately.

We are all infected with lots of pathogens. Most of all those that write and read articles like this are infected with the tendency to make too big a deal out of such things.

So stealthy that you need a “test” to know that you have it.

You guys really need to pay attention! The real news here is that they found a government spokesman who talking sense. This is a breath of fresh air.

The government doctor has pointed out that rising case counts should not be alarming as long as hospitalizations and death rates are declining. Someone is finally making sense rather than fanning the fires of fear.

I don’t think anybody is concerned at this point. People are over it.

“Covid cases are now rising in 26 U.S. states and are up 25% nationwide”

This is not the case at all in Worldometer data.

Unless they cherry pick days.

People are going to get concerned because the Fauci Medical Industrial Complex outlawed HCQ and Ivermectin.
