The United States is continuing to see a spike in COVID-19 cases and things don't seem to be slowing down any time soon.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new estimates on coronavirus cases Wednesday (December 29), which predict more than 44,000 Americans could die from the virus during the next month.
The CDC reports the death toll in relation to the virus has already increased by about 18%, with an average of 1,546 deaths per day, according to the data released by the agency.
The data also showed the U.S. hit a new seven-day average record of 277,000 new cases per day, which surpassed a previous record of 250,000 cases per day set in January.
Meanwhile, the CDC recently changed its guidance to shorten isolation for asymptomatic cases from 10 to five days this week.
"We know that the most amount of transmission occurs in those one to two days before you develop symptoms (to) those two to three days after you develop symptoms," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told CNN. "And if you map that out, those five days account for somewhere between 85% to 90% of all transmission that occurs."
The CDC is urging Americans to take caution during New Year's celebrations amid the continued rapid spread of COVID-19 cases, specifically the extremely contagious Omicron variant.
The agency suggests a small celebration at a friend's house in which all guests are vaccinated, boosted and have tested negative before attending the party, rather than a large indoor event.
Outdoor parties are viewed as being less risky, unless they include a large crowd of attendees.
I will take the Under for a bunch!
Staggering Number of COVID deaths!!!
Among the vaxed?
Very well could be
That’s how GW should be treated too.
they will mandate their sterilization, genocidal,
nanomaterial DNA-reprogramming systems into YOUNGER
and YOUNGER children and pregnant women and
the immunocompromised to make absolutely
certain their PREDICTION HOLDS.
they murder using lies
without accountability
... so far.
Ya uhm no, its a cold/flu now. 50 of course anecdotal reports after a super spreader party.
CDC has been unable to predict anything
Yawn. Every week, more hysteria and panic from the CDC. If Trump were in office, I’d ask him to shut down this criminal enterprise.
I’m voting for the hard overload immunity. People who are vaccinated may be totally safe with a mild cold, and everyone should have taken health their own health precautions by now.
Time to pull off the band-aid.
Be careful. They do the counting.
If turnabout is fair play then the CDC would steal all of
biden’s diapers.
Probably deaths due to the first round of vaccinations.
Biden (laughing): Man, oh man, I’m so glad I read the little index card to reporters about “It’s not federal. It’s the responsibility of the states to handle Covid.” I am free and clear.
Truth is hate to people who hate truth.
Staggeringly big or staggeringly small?
Such a sick picture. I relish the stories from my grandfather ( died when I was 22) of personally killing nazi scum. He HATED Germans until the day he died and he really unloaded the stories after his terminal diagnosis.
