If it seems you’re getting more and more messages from co-workers, friends or attendees at that family barbecue about a positive COVID-19 test, it’s not in your head. While COVID-19 hospitalizations are still far lower than previous years, they’re steadily trending up this summer — both statewide and in the Capital Region.
“We have seen a jump this month, but the good thing is we’re nowhere where we were two years ago,” Albany County Department of Health Interim Commissioner Maribeth Miller told the Times Union.
With at-home testing prevalent, officials now rely on hospitalization rates to track the disease. Last month, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced COVID-19 hospital admissions were more than twice as high as this time last year, though still well below rates during the same period in 2022.

Here we go. SMH
There is nothing the left can’t blame on climate change.
Its’ election season. The covid scam is going to make an appearance. Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
Fear-mongering propaganda is so easy.
I know 3 people who have got it over the past 3 weeks.
All reported flu like symptoms and were over it in a week or less.
The Vax weakened immune systems.
There must be bodies everywhere.
Idiot alert!
Time to wear masks that don’t work and take boosters that don’t work or lose your job.
Check out the author’s bio.
She’s part of the paper’s “rapid response team”.
WTH is that?!
Rapid response to what?!
Threats to Deep State...?
If that’s the case, then that would explain a lot, wouldn’t it.
Perfect. Tie scamdemic to climate change.
cuz it was really the flu.
It’s like a cold or flu, people get it, people get over it.
Funny…i don’t remember many Americans catching the Flu (or COVID) prior to the vaccines
***and hot weather could be to blame***
I don’t think so. It is obviously the coming election that is to blame (see election of 2020).
I don’t know, it put my 83 yo mom in the hospital last week. She’s been vaxxed and boosted. Third time she has had covid. She passed out, hit the floor and my dad called the ambulance. The hospital didn’t do any scans to see if she suffered a stroke. I guess they just didn’t think it was necesary. She also suffers from dementia these days.

Notice that the Dems are the only ones obsessively “testing” and then trumpeting their alleged “positive” results.
I call it the Donk Disease.
I guess the term “summer cold” is now archaic?
