Institutional COVID denial has killed public health as we knew it. Prepare to lose several centuries of progress.
As caught by ,
“As caught by @michael_hoerger,
CDC just modified their dashboard to make Covid transmission look lower on November 18, 2024.
‘The underlying data are identical. However, the Y axis is rescaled to make everything seem lower.’”

…No country can expect sustained 3% growth, if 3% of its workforce drops out every year.
There is no path forward - for the US or any other country - without addressing this. Repeated covid infections are not a sustainable situation.”
COVID map update reveals shift in "very high" water virus levels

The Long COVID Tipping Point?
“Imagine the impact over the next decade. This isn’t just about individuals; it’s a 10% chance of our doctors, pilots, presidents, soldiers, and police officers all grappling with the debilitating effects of Long COVID. When essential roles in society are consistently compromised, the risks are stacked like blocks in an increasingly unstable tower—one that can only lean so far before it topples. The more we ignore the impact of Long COVID, the closer we edge toward this collapse.
The toll of Long COVID is not a hypothetical future but an unfolding reality. As it affects more people, it strains every facet of society—healthcare, insurance rates, disability programs, and economic productivity. “
A reminder that ~800,000 Americans have been killed by COVID since the Biden-Harris administration began. Tens of millions have Long C0VlD. And C0VlD spread more in September 2024 than any point in 2020. They refuse to do anything to stop the spread, even as thousands die weekly.

Let’s see how things are going in Mycoplasma pneumoniae land this weekend…

54 million COVID cases went unreported in 2022, new study says. Here’s how to make your at-home test count
Between Feb. 1, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2023, an estimated 54 million adult COVID cases were unaccounted for in official records
Thousands of patients caught COVID in NSW hospitals last year and hundreds died, new data shows
“At least 6,007 patients caught COVID in NSW hospitals in 2023 and 297 died.”
CDC Director suggests another 800K Americans will be hospitalized due to COVID, Flu and RSV this season, while setting the narrative that it’s the public’s fault for her failures in year 5 of the “you do you” Pandemic.
Beginning Nov 1, the will require hospitals to report info about flu, COVID-19, and RSV. Read about how these data are key to maintain situational awareness and address current patient health and safety needs.
Notice CDC is waiting until after the election to resume gathering vital public health info on Covid.
“Nov 1, the @CMSgov will require hospitals to report info about flu, COVID-19, and RSV. Read about how these data are key to maintain situational awareness and address current patient health and safety needs.”
Current Covid transmission is higher than it has been throughout 90.5% of the pandemic. If the U.S. was still testing & reporting data, we would be reporting over 9 MILLION new cases each week. Since we’re not, the official number is like 1.2 million new cases each week.…

MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of COVID infections go unreported each week. As people get sick & die en masse, we pretend it’s not COVID. Keeping NO record of the ongoing carnage is the entire point.”
I truly think it would be useful for the public to understand “what, exactly, were this project’s stated goals?”
“So one can only conclude that the CDC purposefully redesigned their COVID graphic to downplay the severity and reduce attention paid to the —by far— number one cause of death by infectious disease.
Why? What purpose does this suppression serve?”
Covid-19 was presented as a one and done infection, that ‘only’ killed the vulnerable, that didn’t harm kids, that was spread by droplets not air.
“Covid-19 was presented as a one and done infection, that ‘only’ killed the vulnerable, that didn’t harm kids, that was spread by droplets not air. That vaccines would prevent. Now NONE of the above are true, we are floundering in denial with no plan. Covid is not over.”
Covid levels right now:
September 2, 2024 Covid levels
2,102 people in S’pore have died from Covid-19 since start of pandemic to June 2024: MOH | The Straits Times
Singapore: just 2,102 people have died from C-19 from 2020-2024 - the ENTIRE pandemic so far.
That many people have died in the U.S. in the past two WEEKS.

Ontario dropped wastewater testing early, with no plan for feds to step in: documents
Ontario ended its wastewater testing program earlier than planned this summer, despite having funding in place until the end of September.
Only 33% of hospitals in the U.S. submitted COVID data this week, which is similar to last week but down from 91% in May. This means actual case numbers and hospitalizations are substantially higher than reported.
