In May, the COVID-19 emergency was officially declared over — but the coronavirus remains a lethal threat, according to an increasingly concerned medical community.

The latest data from the New York state Department of Health, released Aug. 2, shows that COVID cases spiked by 55% since the prior week, with an average of 824 reported cases per day across the state.

And hospital admissions for the disease increased by 22% compared to the previous week, which translates to more than 100 admissions a day.

Meanwhile, a new variant — dubbed EG.5, or eris — has arisen as the dominant strain, causing about 17% of COVID cases nationwide, according to a new alert from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

My son was feeling bad a couple of weeks ago and I ended up taking him to the doctor.

They tested him for COVID & Flu and decided he had a sinus infection.

I asked the doctor if they are seeing a lot of COVID now. He said, “No. That fad is over.”

He asked my son if he’s had the COVID vaccination. He said he had not.

Under his breath, the doctor said “Good”.

I work in NYC and never got the clot shots.

Never was sick during that entire time.

I think it's the NYC water that keeps me healthy.

Also, the proximity to people on the subways, commuter trains, etc. All that exposure to germs keeps my immune system in tip-top shape.

What do you want to bet there is one of those secret Chinese bio labs in NYC too. Probably how they keep these virus’s going.

Don’t forget the 100’s of mice genetically altered in a lab found in California with Chinese connections. How many batches came before? What happens when you are infected with CoVID (spikes) from mice DNA?

Have your Ivermectin (horse paste is good), D3, azithromycin, Tylenol and Zinc on hand. Haven’t had it, but others have said it works for regular flu also.

But so many will once again don their mask and cower in fear just because “they” said so.

Just remembering the prior lies. You know, when suddenly the vax tyrants started insisting they never claimed the 'vax' would stop you from getting Covid?

I am not frightened of Covid, I am frightened of the anticipated over reaction.

I have a big event scheduled for October. I need to invest some money into the event and headlines like this make me nervous.

I know the organization hosting the event and the potential concerns of the participants with 30,000 people milling about.

If they shut down...Millions of dollars will be lost. I am really rethinking the items, swag, and product I need to have on hand.

Scared of covid...no.
