Why is the COVID case rate in San Francisco so much higher than the U.S. right now?
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | May 14, 2022 | Susie Neilson

For almost the entire pandemic, San Francisco’s COVID-19 case rates have been lower than the nation’s as a whole. But not anymore.

Earlier this spring, the city’s confirmed new case rates climbed above those of the U.S. Then, on May 3, San Francisco’s case rate doubled that of the U.S. As of May 10, the national daily case rate was at about 23 new cases per 100,000 people, whereas in S.F. the rate was at 42 per 100,000, according to data from the New York Times analyzed by The Chronicle.

Because San Francisco did such a good job preventing its residents from infection for most of the pandemic, he explained, fewer San Franciscans have acquired immunity from prior disease, so they are overall more likely to catch COVID-19 right now than other residents of other cities.


How did that work out for you?

Or maybe the triple-vaxxed have damaged immune systems and are prone to repeated reinfections.

I’ll avoid it for as long as I can (without the fake vax). By the time it gets to me it will just be the sniffles, with any luck.

For SF, they’ve probably all been on anti-virals the whole time, anyway. Everyone gets a turn at bat, though.

Or. Maybe it’s transmitted via feces on the sidewalk, too.

I think everyone will get it eventually, and SF just suppressed it for a while.

Couldn't be the high rate of HIV cases..., (even when "controlled" they are vulnerable)! Too obvious???

There is scientific evidence suggesting the more vaxxed you are, the more susceptible you are to catching the omicron variant. Most of the media refuses to report on this. I imagine you can guess why.

Bad tests giving false positives.

Fecal-oral transmission from all that gay sex, most likely.

C COVID-19 ICU patients in San Francisco County

6 COVID-19 ICU patients
0 more ICU patients from prior day total (0% increase)

It’s the end of the world! How many drug overdoses in the hospitals?

I have to admit it struck me a bit harder than I'd expected. No sniffles or anything cold-like, but I felt really worn down for more than a week, and completely lost my appetite along with the senses of smell and taste. I'm asthmatic, and even though I had no asthma symptoms or congestion, my oxygen levels went down to the low 90s. Still, it was no big deal.

I'm still worried that there's something about this bug that no one is telling us about. Something insidious and long-range.

May I ask, when did you get it?

I believe that it is getting weaker in each occurrence, I suspect as it mutates back into its original form.

The truth of the matter is that we will probably never really know with a high degree of certainty many Covid-19 related questions because the epidemiological data has been so thoroughly tainted by politics, obfuscation, and money, that a proper scientific analysis could not be made without a complete audit of the garbage-in part. A lot like the 2020 election.

A buddy of mine lives there, I live in Indiana. A couple weeks ago he asked if we still wore our masks around here, I just laughed. Maybe a couple of people have one on now when you go into Kroger’s and it’s busy, but thats it.

He told me out there that almost everyone still wears theirs, and that his son, who is 14 I think, actually bullies him about not wearing it even if they are just driving around. He tells him he doesn’t need to, but both his kids refuse to remove them.

He was a little frightened how deeply they have gotten to the kids on ALWAYS having their mask on now.

I didn’t say anything about it, but mentioned that for a half a million dollars for the hovel they live in now he could have an incredible house out here in the Midwest even with the prices now, with water and power galore included. I think I finally might have planted the idea in his head now, waiting to see if it brings fruit.

Bingo. It’s been shown that vax recipients’ innate immune system suffers damage with each successive shot or booster. It’s not just covid that the polyvaxxed are coming down with . . . even cancers that had been in remission are seen to be roaring back.

fags

they have aids, and compromised immune systems because of their lifestyle choices, and are thus more susceptible to all diseases.

Or maybe the triple-woke and politically correct are getting tested every time they get a sniffle and as a result more covid cases are getting detected in SF as compared to other places where a sniffle is treated as just a sniffle.

I got it right after Christmas. Very mild for the first week, and then it kicked up a notch until January 9th, at which time everything was fine except I didn’t smell very good for about another month. :-)
