Dr. Jason Newland, a pediatric infectious diseases physician at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri, said “it has slowed down, tremendously,”
COVID-19 hospitalizations rose through December, including during the week after Christmas. One set of CDC data appears to show they started trending down after New Year’s, although an agency spokeswoman noted that another count indicates an uptick as of last week. Because of reporting lags it may be a few weeks until CDC can be sure COVID-19 hospitalizations have really started dropping, she said.
The RSV and flu surges likely faded because so many members of the vulnerable population were infected “and it just kind of burnt itself out,” he said.
Who cares
no surprise. But all that lying for the past 3 years people think it is special.
Honest question: Is this article suggesting that the Dec/Jan increase in cases has been due to an exepected seasonal surge, and not the growing prevalence of the dreaded XBB.1.5 'Kraken'? And if so, is the assumption that 'Kraken' may not be what it's been 'krack'd' up to be?
Yeah no shit.
Ice storms canceled thousands of flights on the West Coast.
New data suggests just means government couldn’t hide their lies anymore.
No shit
Oops! Zeros will not be happy
In fact... Every winter the press tells us it will... And it doesn't Let's move on please
Duh
They certainly don’t think that it caused a surge in the days following the Golden Globes. Wait for the science to change in a few days.
But CNN NBCNews TheDemocrats nytimes CBSNews jimmyfallon abcnews NewsHour (same same) all insisted everyone had to mask up and get quadruple-boosted to “protect others” or we would all die! Couldn’t possibly have been more wrong. Again.
Omg, the world isn’t ending? We’re still allowed to spend time with family at the holidays? All of the fear mongering in the media has gotten out of hand. Trying to get people to not gather with their families at Christmas was absolutely ridiculous.
Seasonality is a much more significant driver of respiratory virus spread than holidays are. Tripledemic was a lie or a bad prediction, just like its predecessor, the twindemic that never happened.
Everyone wore masks
No one gets together anymore. The family atmosphere is gone…
Most respiratory illnesses are caused by airplanes spraying toxins into the air. This was the case in Ukraine and is now the case all over the world.
I missed Xmas with relatives due to weather. 80% of those who made it got influenza A and were sick as hell.
That’s strange this whole time every time people had a good time it ended up being a SUPER SPREADER but then again the White House didn’t have to deal with lost classified documents then
No shit
Uh duh jeez ya think?!? A dumdee doody dum deedo me so smart for reporting what everyone with a brain already knows
Why would it? We havent had a flu season in 2 years..
Lol
neiltyson
It’s almost like letting fear control your life is a lame way to live, especially when death is inevitable
odd you don't mention the 44% jump in deaths in one week...
It's amazing what data you see when you stop collecting or reporting data.
I'm so relieved that flu is no longer contagious.
Surprise
That’s bc after 3 yrs of Covid, infighting & divided families courtesy of trump, nobody got together.
Unless you hang out with an unvaxxed three year old. The cutest little spreader…two years running.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
TRUSS THA SCYENCE U REDUMBLIKKKAN SEXISMISMIST FASCISMIST WHITE SUPREMACISMISTS PRIVILEGE NAZIS!
According to Fauci they do
No shit
I didn’t go to any holiday gatherings because we all had respiratory infections.
“You ruined your holidays for nothing”
