Hundreds of Americans Will Die From COVID Today

Is this what normal now looks like?

www.theatlantic.com

But though daily mortality numbers have stopped rising, they’ve also stopped falling. Nearly 3,000 people are still dying every week.

You're having a 9/11 each week...

No one can say with any certainty what 2023 might have in store, but as a reference point, 200 deaths daily would translate to 73,000 deaths over the year. COVID would remain a top-10 leading cause of death in America in this scenario, roughly twice as deadly as either the average flu season or a year’s worth of motor-vehicle crashes.

Yeah being trapped in the hours for 6-7 days is tough. Been playing games reading books and sleeping but it kinda eats away that you can't go anywhere or do anything for days.

I think I finally got the shyt brehs. Home rapid negative yesterday but two positive today and waiting for the urgent care test. Pfizer only protected me for so long right after Joey said it was over too

Biden declared the pandemic 'over.' His Covid team says it's more complicated.

Biden's "60 Minutes" remarks surprised his own health advisers, and came as the administration seeks more Covid response funding.

The declaration surprised the president’s own senior health officials, many of whom only learned about Biden’s remarks from tweets and news headlines. The president had not originally planned to make major news on Covid, nor had he discussed with his health advisers announcing an end to the pandemic soon, two senior officials said.

When the White House reviewed a transcript of his comments after the interview, which was taped earlier in the week, it did not alert its Covid team — leaving the administration without a coordinated response for the immediate aftermath.

It could also complicate the administration’s campaign for people to seek updated vaccines ahead of a potential winter surge — an uphill battle that health officials say will be the true determinant for whether the U.S. can emerge from the pandemic.

Anyone get the new updated Pfizer booster? How did you feel?

Same as the old. Sore arm for a day

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

I tested negative today.

 

[N.J.stan]

Started getting a sore throat yesterday, which got progressively worse as the day went on. Feel a bit better but more congested today. Just tested negative

 

[Dillah810]

I'm getting the bivalent booster / flu shot combo today.

 

[Dave24]

I'm getting the bivalent booster / flu shot combo today.

Are you getting the Moderna booster or Pfizer?

Anyone get the new updated Pfizer booster? How did you feel?

My girl got that one and felt funny after it
Recently fell victim to Big Rona. Mild symptoms, no fever. Body aches, little runny nose/phlegm

 

[Dillah810]

Anyone get the new updated Pfizer booster? How did you feel?

I got the booster/flu combo yesterday. Last night I had a fever and muscle soreness. Today I'm just fatigued. I think by tomorrow I'll feel normal.

It's strange because I had no side effects outside of a sore arm where they did the shot when I did the first 2 rounds of covid shots and the first booster. Maybe it's because I combined the new booster with the flu shot that my body reacted this way.

But public health experts say Biden’s remarks may be ill-timed as people already are taking an increasingly lax approach to masking, distancing and boosting against the virus. Some have warned that serious cases may be waning but that there could be another wave of infections in the late fall or winter, and that the public should be prepared.
“It seems an odd message to me. I am not sure what the goal is‚” said Dr. Eric Toner, an emergency physician and a senior scientist in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Center for Health Security. “With 65,000 new reported infections, many more unreported, and 450 new deaths per day, 164,000 annualized, it is hard to believe the pandemic is over.

“It is true that it is less severe by almost any measure, and it is true that most infections now are relatively mild, but for the millions of Americans at high risk, COVID remains a significant threat,” he said.

How Biden's declaring the pandemic 'over' complicates efforts to fight COVID

Biden's comments — made as officials try to convince Americans to get a new booster shot and the White House seeks $22 billion in new COVID funding — were "unfortunate," several epidemiologists said.

www.npr.org

Multiple public health experts called Biden's remarks "unfortunate."

"When you have the president of the U.S. saying the pandemic is over, why would people line up for their boosters? Why would Congress allocate additional funding for these other strategies and tools?" said Dr. Celine Gounder, an epidemiologist and senior fellow with the Kaiser Family Foundation. "I am profoundly disappointed. I think this is a real lack of leadership."

Republicans are already using the statement to question the justification for ongoing pandemic measures, including the military's vaccine requirement and mandates for vaccines and masks in federally funded Head Start education programs.

"Biden admitted last night that the COVID pandemic is over. In other words, there is no 'ongoing emergency' to justify his proposal for student loan handouts," said Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.
