Covid-19 cases are surging in 46 states. In one hot spot, hospitalized patients are younger than ever, doctor says.

Just as health experts predicted, the combination of unvaccinated people and the more contagious Delta strain of coronavirus has led to new Covid-19 surges.

In 46 states, the rates of new cases this past week are at least 10% higher than the rates of new cases the previous week, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

In 31 states, new cases this past week are at least 50% higher than new cases the previous week.

CDC is calling the Delta variant the "pandemic of the unvaccinated". Imagine just how bad this would be if there wasn't a vaccine. NY is seeing a slight uptick in the positivity rate, but not like many of the other states.

A new study states the Covid19 can effect a guys erection in other words cause erectile dysfunction in some men. I kid you not this is serious stuff . Maybe this is why stubborn anti vaxx individuals like CLOUD 500 are suddenly lining up for a Pfizer jab.

OLYMPIC GAMES....IMHO ces Jeux n'auraient jamais dues avoir lieu cette année....aucun public, des cas de COVID qui se manifestent déjà à l'intérieur et des athlètes atteints en plus de ceux qui ont fait défection.....c'est juste le début et c'était prévisible à
voir comment la situation se dégrade à travers le monde.....don't get me wrong....am a big fan and i know how important it is pour les athlètes qui s'y préparent intensément depuis des mois--années MAIS le bon sens, la logique et leur sécurité auraient du
prévaloir....je crains hélas un horrible gâchis.....my 2 cents.

You have a great point. Japan's COVID cases are on the rise, they have a low vaccinated population, sadly it sounds like a recipe for disaster. The NHL was able to have their playoffs in a "bubble" without any real issues. I wonder if it's possible to create a "bubble" to contain the Olympics or is that just too big to pull off. They postponed the Olympics for a year already, but big dollar sponsor's and TV rights may have a bigger say than common sense. It's all about the Benjamin's.

India’s excess deaths during Covid ‘could be 10 times official toll’

Study gives most comprehensive picture yet of true toll of pandemic in India

www.theguardian.com

The number of excess deaths in India during the Covid-19 pandemic could be 10 times higher than the official death toll, according to a study that estimates that between 3 million and 4.7 million more people died than would be expected between January 2020 and June 2021.

The study, carried out by the US-based Center for Global Development, examined three different sources of data to piece together one of the most comprehensive pictures yet of the pandemic in India.

Good news...WH will have '' regular contact'' with FOX on COVID and vaccination.....they need to reach FOX audience....it's not a political issue....it's a major health issue qui concerne tous les citoyens.....that's the way to go.

That's certainly a good idea. Getting the word out to as many people as possible will save lives. The White House should have been doing this all along. Much like their regular contact with the other news agencies. All of this reminds of that one guy at work who blames everyone else for his mistakes or shortcomings instead of himself. The president is that guy. He needs to focus on the big problem here and find a solution to it. Instead the president chooses to headline many things that may be important, but they are not as important as encouraging people to get vaccinated. Using federal resources to help local governments combat this deadly virus would make a huge difference in many communities. Sending the VP to a section of the Mexican border with nobody illegally crossing just to get a photo op can be done later. Senator Rand Paul having a shouting match with Dr. Fauci, a man who's committed the last 4 decades of his life to helping saves lives is ridiculous and can be done later. US COVID cases are up 200% in the past two weeks and nobody at the top is stepping up to do something about it. If it's about the Delta variant running rampant amongst the unvaccinated then that's were the problem is. The states are closing down their large COVID vaccination sites which are mostly in the less rural parts of their states. The Fed needs to use more federal resources to get vaccination sites to communities with high infection rates, or better yet try to get there and promote vaccinations before infection rates start going up. The White House talking to Fox News is not the solution. The White House needs to get their shit together and focus on saving lives.

La France connaît une hausse vertigineuse des cas de covid....le Premier ministre---Jean Castex---a déclaré aujourd'hui que 96% des 18,000 nouveaux cas de contamination par la covid diagnostiqués sur 24 heures n'étaient pas vacciné....
Again est-ce assez clair !!!!!

There are disturbing signs that the virus is surging—again. All 50 U.S. states are reporting a rise in cases with the national seven-day average passing 28,000, up from a low of 12,000 in late June.

Cases and hospitalizations are rising steeply in places where the percentage of population that is fully vaccinated is low. In more than three dozen counties in Missouri, for example, that percentage ranges from 15 percent to a high hovering around 35 percent—well below the national average of 48 percent. Arkansas, Florida, and Louisiana are also seeing significant outbreaks.

The Governor of Alabama, a Republican, is blaming the anti-vaxxers for causing the new pandemic in the States.
I`ll agree and I`ll go further......they are causing others with cancer and heart conditions to die because they are taking up spare beds.
One dumb woman with covid confessed that she still won`t get a vax when let out of hospital. She died the next day. Karma.

[...]
Cases continue to increase and we are still in summer. In past week 32 states saw their numbers going up by 50% and more.
[...] THOSE DATAS ARE FROM THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY. Don't shoot the messenger!
Meanwhile less than 50% are still fully vaccinated.

I'm not really following the Olympics but I do follow golf and two golfers - Bryson DeChambeau from the US and Jon Rahm from Spain are out of the Olympics after testing positive for COVID. What's unique about this story is that Jon Rahm had already tested positive for COVID a month ago then came back to win the US Open.

I have absolutly no sympathy for those dump persons.
If they die, i think it's Natural Selection acting.
The human race doesn't need them.
Earth is overpopulated anyway.
