COVID rising in L.A. County and California as new subvariants take hold
LA Times ^ | June 12, 2024 | Rong-Gong Lin II

California’s COVID numbers are on the rise thanks, in part, to new subvariants, suggesting an earlier-than-normal start to the summer season.

The percentage of COVID tests coming back with positive results in the state rose to 5.3% for the week that ended June 3, up from 2.2% the month before.

The numbers are still relatively low — last summer’s peak positive test rate was 13.1% — but the increases have the attention of doctors and health officials as the summer travel season begins.

“Numbers are definitely going up,” said Dr. Elizabeth Hudson, regional chief of infectious disease at Kaiser Permanente Southern California. Among Kaiser’s 4.8 million Southern California members, the increase in COVID is mostly among non-hospitalized people.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported an average of 106 COVID cases for the week ending June 2. That’s up from 67 cases a day for the week that ended May 12.

“We have seen this happen over the last 4 1/2 years. We know we tend to see another wave around this time,” Hudson said. This one “started a little bit earlier, so it may crest a little earlier, and oftentimes we don’t see those hospitalized cases until a little further in.”

COVID levels also are rising in wastewater. In Los Angeles County, sewage levels were at 16% of the winter peak for the week that ended May 25, up from 8% for the week that ended May 4. In Santa Clara County — the Bay Area’s most populous county — COVID levels in wastewater are considered high from San Jose to Palo Alto. There also is a notable rise in samples in San Francisco’s sewage.

OK it is in the sewage and waste water.

So, how to cure that?

Quit drinking and swimming in the sewer I guess.

And do not let the waste water out of your house. Start peeing in the bath tub and saving it.

I thought we'd already be at sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub variants by now.

The newspaper, which houses the largest newsroom in the western US, has plunged into disarray in recent weeks as it faces a major financial shortfall, losing tens of millions of dollars a year.

***********************************************************

LA Times needs to stir up reader interest. They’ve laid off 20% of their staff and have lost tens of millions of dollars as they struggle against the inevitable result of partnering with the Democratic Marxist Party.

Last time LA reported climbing ‘Covid’ levels, the staff at the largest hospital system there countered with data proving there was no such increase. Huge problem for LA when they can’t get a Pandemic going because the medical staff won’t let them.

But now, those who are highly vaxxed are likely experiencing immune system problems and ADE, which can be clinically indistinguishable from respiratory illnesses.

COVID-19(84).DNC.2024 is probably spreading very quickly

It’s been a while, it might be time for this to be mentioned again. Viruses mutate constantly, that’s what they do. But they mutate in the direction of being easier to transmit between hosts, and AWAY from lethality to that host. (It doesn’t do any good if you’re easier to transmit if your host dies before they CAN transmit you). So as long as COVID has been around, it’s been mutating to be tamer and tamer. It’s probably “common cold” like now. This isn’t the same COVID that killed a bunch of folks.

Did they ever go back and revisit their COVID tests to improve them so they actually test for COVID and not for flu or something else?

Everything was rushed, and there was more than enough time to improve what I understand was a very faulty test.

It never did "kill a bunch of folks."

Everybody who died, died of "COVID."

Right. I also wonder how many variants of variants of variants does it take to make it a whole new species. I’m sure there’s some virological rule or other for deciding that.

[Everybody who died, died of “COVID.”]

I remember that someone claimed it could be detected in animals, even tomatoes...(have no idea if that’s actually true)

BUT, I imagine like any flu virus it was in and out of a substantial number of people

Anyone who passed away (unfortunately) probably had some indication of it (even if they weren’t lying to get more benefits to families suffering from Fauci’s genocide)
