I haven't posted about this here, but during the previous administration I came to realize that they weren't tracking the daily statistics of COVID-19 Cases/deaths very well. So I started. I've kept the stats for every day for over two years.
So please believe me, this isn't over - not by a long shot. We are AVERAGING over 50,000 cases a day and 500 deaths in the U.S. and 8 states don't report statistics anymore. Right now, Children's ICUs are FULL.
Mask up and get boosted. Please.
@Animeraider Lots of us never quit wearing masks. We get our boosters, wear our masks, stay home a lot and haven't been sick from an airborne virus since 2019 when I caught a cold flying back after my mom died.
@Figment_Imagine I still wear a mask and I'm fully boosted, but so many people aren't these days. In makes me crazy that we're not taking this seriously as a whole. I caught it the first time from someone I trusted and the second time from my daughter, who works in retail.
I have a real horror story in my own life when I needed to be hospitalized early in the pandemic for an infection and I couldn't get a bed because of all the COVID patients. Kids are going through that now.
