(From the article):" Warning signs that could signal a rise in COVID infections are appearing in parts of the U.S."
"Wastewater testing, which can help detect the spread of a COVID in a community, has shown a significant uptick of the virus in several states.
Testing sites in Montana and Florida are reporting “very high” levels of COVID, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.
Levels are “high” in wastewater across Alaska, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland and New Mexico."
" Emergency room visits related to COVID-19 are also on the rise, the CDC says, spiking 12.6% in one week.
The biggest jumps were seen last week in Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia."
There was an article today in the Seattle paper where our hospital room visits for people with Covid has TRIPLED since the end of April. TRIPLED!!! OMG!!!!!
.

.

It had gone from 0.5% of all cases to 1.5%.
I’m not going to get the paper - but I believe it said people WITH covid - which may not have been the reason why they were at the hospital.
And what are the chances that any of the news articles mention the fact that most of the people getting bad cases of covid are VAXXED?
Which is the case. And having Ivermectin on hand is the sane thing to do.
Very few people care anymore!!! 🛑
It’s over!
The single most criminal thing I believe our government health agencies (CDC, NIH, etc.) have done in the past 4 years is fail to warn about the importance of maintaining good Vitamin D3 levels. This has resulted in the deaths of many more dark skinned people in this country than light skinned people. Excess deaths were early noted among African Americans, and Native Americans. In spring of 2020, Fauci was asked if Vitamins D and C would help. He said no. By fall he had to admit that Vitamin D3 was of value.
Eaach year it has been pointed out that Covid cases rise in late summer/early fall, and again in mid winter. Many now know that lack of sun exposure in winter leads to reduced body Vitamin D levels. What has been minimally pointed out is that wherever it is hot, like the south, people spend more time indoors in the AC and in more crowded groups. Our government should be warning everyone to have their Vitamin D levels checked and take Vitamin D3 supplements if they do not get enough sun exposure year round.
I was surprised and pleased when Kaiser Permanente started checking blood vitamin D levels 3 winters ago. I had already started taking D3 supplements summer of 2020 with higher doses in winter. When checked by KP in Dec. 2021, my D levels were optimum. In Dec. 2020 after a fall of worrying about 3 family members with cancer, and nervous nibbling, I had gained weight, and my tested D levels were “insufficient”. A week later I read an article posted by ConservativeMind saying a BMI level above 25 caused D to settle into fat rather than circulate in blood where it could help the immune system. The following week my partner, recovering from prostate cancer, brought home an infection from babysitting his sick grandson. We both had horrible bronchitis like coughs for 3 1/2 months. I immediately upped our Vitamin D intake and I went on a low carb diet (successfully, lost 30 lbs.) as my BMI level was 27.5. That fall we were again sick for a month, also after he babysat the sick child. The following winter blood Vitamin D levels were well above the optimum so I reduced my intake. I have been in improving health ever since. At age 85 I am again mowing my large lawn with a gas, walk behind (and sometimes push) mower.
Saintgermaine: Thanks for the detailed article. You turned me on to NAC which I had not heard about so added it to my daily supplement intake.
Look for valuable information by Dr. Robert Cathcart (Google his name), who has treated more than 10,000 people successfully with high doses of Vitamin C. He says even healthy people should take 4 grams a day at about 6 hour intervals. I typically take 6 or 7 grams, and have for 50 years for respiratory allergies. On 2 occasions during the Covid years, after a social event, my nose has started running like a faucet. I immediately started taking one or 2 grams of C every few hours. After 24 hours and 12 to 14 grams of C, this symptom was gone and I was completely well. I suspect it was Covid. The illness caught from the grandson probably was not Covid or RSV as the child was tested for those, and did not include the heavily running nose. I had been prone to annual bronchitis in the 1900s, but none this century, until my weight got away from me, and I came down with the grandson’s bug.
Tell your Congresscritters to urge the government to tell people about the need for extra Vitamin D if they do not get sufficient sun exposure. Don’t let more people die of Covid this summer. It will be a scorcher, and many will live inside with AC and NO SUN. Of course, in Winter extra Vitamin D will be needed in most of the country.
