-19 cases, according to Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer. She also called the trend a possible start of yet another winter surge of infections.
“We do expect increases to continue on the heels of our Thanksgiving gatherings but already, based on trends, we are looking at possible beginnings of a winter surge,” Ferrer said. Ferrer said infections among students are likely also due to Thanksgiving gatherings, because transmission at schools remains low thanks to strict infection-control measures on campus, such as regular testing and mandatory mask-wearing.
Also worrisome was that first doses delivered to kids were down to 16,000 last week from 21,000 the week before. “We worry about a strain on the hospital system,” Ferrer said, noting lower numbers of nurses now vs. earlier in the pandemic due to exhaustion and attrition. “You can have beds,” she said, “but those beds need to be staffed.” That’s especially true in the ICU.
What an unbelievably misleading headline and article. Comparing this week to a holiday week when testing was down significantly and calling it a massive surge. Testing dropped by over 120,000 tests per day. Now testing returns to normal and it’s a “massive winter surge?”
No one cares. Not sure when you will understand this.
