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.

Ah, witness the resurrection of “flu fear porn”. Brought to you by your science-illiterate media morons. There will be a bright spot should they keep it up, however, because this time we’re going to beat the living shi...er...Dorkbamastuff outta them should they try to restrict us again. Not even close to kidding.

Bull Droppings.

The Covid 'vaccine' damages the immune system, so when you get ill they claim it's that evil 'Covid's' fault. Only they never really got around to explaining where 38 million annual cases of the flu went starting in 2020....
