No. They’re not.

Outright lie.

Nip it in the bud.

Nip it!

No. They’re not.

"COVID Positive Patients", that is CA hospital patients who test positive for COVID, is over double what it was last year. No surprise, since the current variants are so highly transmissible and the vaccines so ineffective. But how many of these patients are actually hospitalized FOR COVID? Who knows, but certainly not all of them and probably not the majority.

Another indicator, "COVID Positive ICU Patients" is less than HALF of what it was this time last year. Deaths are an even smaller fraction of what they were a year ago, at about 1/8th. So more people "positive", fewer people sick , and even fewer dying.

You’re right but the above isn’t even true.

It’s much lower.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/california/

11/29/22 - 2328 7 day average in CA

11/29/21 - 4548

These are all cases. I guess they’re saying hospital patients.

But they include anyone who test positive who aren’t in the hospital for Covid. It’s a dishonest presentation.

I don't have time to read the article but I will, in the FR tradition, submit a comment.

Whenever I see a headline that says "California" in the title (like "such and such is surging in CA"), I doubt the credibility of the article.

For all we know, Governor Newsom has required hospitals to show COVID as the official reason for all hospital admissions or suffer the consequences.

California has become the nation's crazy aunt who sees prowlers all over the neighborhood. There's just no reason to listen because, if you do, you get infected with her insanity. And as we all know, insanity is very contagious.;-)

What’s the false-positive rate of the test?

What’s the false-positive rate of the test for demes of humanity with different serological profiles?

Any headline or statistic or regulation based on the result of ‘tests’ is potentially meaningless without knowing the relevant false-positive rate.

Impossible! Mere months ago FJB proclaimed COVID to be “over!”

Seems to me that ‘government’ will soon be telling people “you will need a constant IV vaccine drip to be fully Covid-protected.” [’Protected’ meaning that the illness you get is less severe.]

The CDC has admitted that the PCR tests is unable to determine the Covid-10 flu from the regular flu. So this is fear porn propaganda from the left.

What does it mean? California does not nearly enough hospitals.

Actually, that is begging the question. California is losing the best and brightest of its medical professionals to other localities where the practice of medicine is not nearly so burdened with prohibitions against cure of disease and the prolongation of the course of the diseases encountered, with artificialities like promoting the mRNA COVID-19 Wuhan virus injections as some kind of “cure” or “treatment” for conditions that are sometimes totally unrelated to the actual COVID-19 infection, and introducing their own form of mischief to the human anatomy.

So adding hospitals would be meaningless, as there would not be enough competent medical professionals to man them.

Epic fail of the delivery of medical services. Part of a multi-pronged effort to depopulate the planet.

They should probably close the state and euthanize everyone. It’s the only way to stop the spread.

What?? A huge scare article that doesn’t mention Gnome Fauci a single time? What are we coming to?

I won’t know what to believe until the Little Gnome tells me what to believe. Waiting with bated breath…

It’s not the test result that matters, it’s those counting the test results.

it’ll mean more mandates, lockdowns, masking, vax demands, travel restrictions, business closings to finish off destroying everyone who survived the first round.
