Nationally, COVID-19 remains the primary cause of new respiratory hospitalizations and deaths, resulting in about 1,000 fatalities a week.
1000 deaths a week? This seems like it should be newsworthy no?
people wouldn’t wear masks or 6ft distance when it was the death equivalent of 9/11 (~3000) every day for months
They won’t report COVID. They know who signs their paychecks.
(note this only goes to Dec. 10-16th thus far).
I don’t know. We know covid deaths will ramp up just like flu every season now. But relative to past spikes, 1,000 per week nationally is pretty low.
If you can capitalize, yes.
The only thing wrong with me is this cough that I’ve had for more than a month and won’t go away
I’m visiting family in the middle plain states and lots of sick ppl here but it’s also just that time of year
everyone in California
about 23% of people participating in a weekly text-message-based survey reported having a cough or shortness of breath for the week that ended Dec. 10
I had to miss out on a lot of family stuff because I came down with croup or something nasty that developed from rhinovirus/common cold.
Nearly 6 weeks later and I still have some coughing fits. I faired better than many though. Nasal irrigation, vitamins, and saltwater gargling probably helped.
It’s the holidays and everyone is traveling. Get your clickbait headlines outta here.
I mean… this isn’t surprising at this time of year. Many are traveling, in close proximity with one another and we have two holidays relatively close to one another (Thanksgiving and Christmas) that will have many people gather in one place, usually indoors.
It all provides a great environment for things to spread.
Not to mention the large amount of people who come into work sick at this time of year too.
