Covid-19 public health emergency extended in the US
[CNN] Sorry The Biden administration on Friday extended the Covid-19 public health emergency for another three months. The emergency declaration has been in place since January 2020, and the latest renewal comes as the Omicron offshoot BA.5, the most contagious variant yet, continues to stake its claim in the US. Daily case rates, though vastly undercounted, are the highest they’ve been in months, as are Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths. Hospitalizations are up from rock-bottom of 1,415 on April 26, 2022 -- up to 4,180 Thursday. Compare with 26,019 on Jan. 23, 2022, and 29,733 on Jan. 6, 2021. Deaths totaled 3,152 over the last seven days, down from 6,869 in a single day, three weeks after Joe took office - Feb. 13, 2021. It's over, folks.  Real numbers taken from 870 days of data from Worldometers, tabulated on my spreadsheet. Posted by: Bobby 2022-07-16 |
