Cases in Los Angeles continue to rise, nearly 3 weeks after the mask mandate was reinstated
What’s funny about this is that the CDC director said that masks could stop the “delta variant spike within two weeks”
I do not know how it’s possible to be this wrong, this consistently
Cases in Iceland are still rising, now up 44,275% since the New Yorker described in detail how Iceland “beat the coronavirus”
Isn’t it crazy how often all of these countries “beat” COVID and then somehow their magical government interventions stop working?
Super weird right?!
Cases in Thailand are up, and this is not a misprint, 944,700% since National Geographic said that they had “prevented coronavirus from gaining a foothold.”
So even with 93-95% mask compliance, cases are up 944,700%, and people are still somehow convinced they work. Incredible.
Southern California is conducting a population wide trial on masks right now. LA mandated masks, while Orange & San Diego didn’t…so if they made a significant difference, we’d expect to see LA doing better.
Except LA’s doing the worst of the three.
Cause masks don’t work.
Meanwhile vaccines work!
… I’m double masking (cloth/surgical). No more indoor dining, & sadly no more poker w/ vaxxed pals. I’ll peel off protections as cases fall, particularly after my booster.
You’ll make your own choices, but don’t underestimate Delta. As the CDC said, it’s a new war. (25/25)

Soooooo what he’s saying is:
“The vaccine is safe and effective. Everyone should get it immediately. Also, I am going to act like it provides absolutely zero protection and take additional (completely ineffective) measures to protect myself. Get vaccinated. Follow The Science™️. But also it does nothing.”
Meanwhile in Fauci news:
Fauci on 6/3: With 50% of adults vaccinated, “I feel fairly certain you’re not going to see the kind of surges we’ve seen in the past”
San Francisco on 5/2: Reaches 50% of 18+ fully vaccinated
San Francisco on 8/4: Cases nearing all-time highs
I mean…is he ever right? Ever?
This is just the kind of failure the left loves to worship. My liberal brother in law and his wife, my wife’s twin sister, love to go on Facebook with their virtue trumpeting about wearing their masks.
Yay, idiots.
Democrats seem to be following their same strategy as with gun control. Push one bad idea after another and, as they fail to resolve any of the problem, use that as an excuse to remove more rights. One truth is undeniable, though; Democrats are incapable of legislating to help the nation or American people. The first logical move would be to RE-secure the once secured southern border to stop the constant replenishment of the virus in our country, but that is the last thing Democrats are interested in.

“As we look at our hospitalizations and as we look at our deaths, they are overwhelmingly unvaccinated people,” CDC director Rochelle Walensky said at a briefing on Thursday.
About half of all new infections and hospitalizations in the past week were in seven southern states – Florida, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi – even though the states represent less than a quarter of the country’s population, said White House coronavirus coordinator, Jeff Zients.

Every single newly infected person results in over a billion virus replications before the infection has run its course, with every replication providing another chance for another random mutation. Sooner or later, a new COVID variant results. The longer this goes on on at pandemic level, the greater the likelihood that a totally uncontrollable variant will come along.
The only effective countermeasures we have against such a catastrophic possibility are the simple and safe ones that a large number of people are actively resisting.
@ Hampster brain, Alarm as US Covid cases above 100,000 a day for first time since February. How is it they drop the covid death count and switch to cases that are determined by a faulty test? For a virus, according to a Canadian court case, has never ever been isolated?
Nobody is “switching” to anything.
People don’t drop dead the day they become infected. First there’s an observed spike in the daily rate of new infections. That’s soon followed by a spike in the number of related hospitalizations. And then, in the weeks that follow, there’s a steady increase in the number of daily COVID deaths.
We’re now entering the second phase of that predictable pattern. You’ll see more and more reports of maxed out hospitals and burnt out doctors and nurses.
Unfortunately with the Delta variant, the virus is making more children and younger adults very ill.
The vast majority of new serious illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths are among the unvaccinated.
greggie, you mist the important part where therapy starts except that is not allowed because Trump brought that to our attention.
Hmmm…. all states that have respected the science and done what actually needs to be done. That’s the open border wreaking its damage. That’s the idiot Biden regime unleashing infected illegal immigrants in states the Democrats want to embarrass. That’s failed Democrat policies.
New York and California followed the Democrat policies and they have the same outbreak. Their polices do nothing to stem the spread of the virus; they just oppress.
Democrats are nothing but failure. The Biden Virus is being exploited by the left.
Sofa King Stupid is not a brand of living room furniture.
No, it’s the official name of idiot Biden’s border policy.
He thinks he’s scored a point… And the crowd goes wild!
Meanwhile, anyone with a brain is getting a vaccination, if they haven’t done so already. That probably includes a lot of people who are politicizing the situation and pandering to the anti-vaxers and anti-maskers.
Analysis: Don’t Want a Vaccine? Be Prepared to Pay More for Insurance.

Analysis: Don’t Want a Vaccine? Be Prepared to Pay More for Insurance. Really seems that could fall under a pre existing condition, I was not vaxxed before, and my body my choice. They are not reporting the deaths and injuries from the Jab, no one can sue them for damages.
How does the mass of infection idiot Biden let in the country, cultivated in overcrowded facilities then spread all over the country affect insurance rates?
Why did idiot Biden and slut Kamala denounce vaccines? Didn’t they politicize the situation? Will you EVER answer that question?
They DIDN’T denounce vaccines, so maybe you should stop asking.
Yeah, they did. They denounced the Trump vaccines, clearly said any vaccine produced by his administration (as if he was in the lab working on it) could not be trusted. So, again, why did they say such stupid things? Did they not think about when vaccines would be available? Did they not care about those that might be reluctant to take them? Did they not care about ever having the public protected against the virus?
No. they didn’t.
So, to review, your stupid politicians denounced vaccines and now there is a reluctance, mainly among Democrat constituency. THEN, as if anyone wasn’t already aware that these morons HATE this nation and the public, they BEG illegal immigrants to come up and violate our border and, when over a million does, carrying the virus with them, they let them in en masse. Not bad enough yet? Well, THEN they tightly pack them into overcrowded and overwhelmed facilities so the infection can rapidly spread. Now, the bomb is ready; they then load them onto airplanes and buses (no ID required, no testing, no vaccines) and distribute them all over the nation, especially in states that are not strangling themselves with idiotic mandates… mandates that do NOTHING to stop the spread.
Why do you enthusiastically support such stupidity?
Masks do not work…
Neither does the poison jab.
Posts like this are far more poisonous than a simple and effective vaccination.
Almost EVERYBODY is going to be exposed to the Delta variant. Statistically, it’s 50 percent more contagious than the original Alpha strain.
To whom? That’s her opinion based on what she knows and needs. It doesn’t hurt anyone. Anyone else is going to form their own opinions about their health.
Now, the supreme idiot Biden and the slut Kamala telling the nation that the vaccines are dangerous and THEY would not take them and neither should anyone else CAN sway public opinion. There might be those that believe they know what they are talking about (those who just woke up from a 20 year coma and lemming liberals). Now we are told the vaccine does not offer us freedom from masks or shutdowns. When you find a consistent message out of your party of morons, you let us know.
All the variants are the Biden Virus. He promised he would shut down the virus. I guess he forgot to tell the Chinese.
The Lambda variant might turn out to be the big one. Early indications are scary, but there’s not enough data yet to know.
If that eventually happens, your crackpot political conspiracy theories and abysmal ignorance of basic science won’t mean squat. But they WILL have been contributing factors.
The Lambda variant The Lambda variant The Lambda variant I guess I better just live my life as I see fit, party on, there is no hope for humans to survive as long as Democrats are running the show.
Somebody else will always be running the show, but what happens to us as individuals largely depends on the individual choices we make.
Nothing about getting a COVID vaccination changes a person’s lifestyle, but doing so could keep people well and alive.
Well, I didn’t choose to open our southern border up during a pandemic. I also didn’t choose the idiots that thought that would be a good idea and who had denounced the COVID vaccines.
@ gerbil breath, Nothing about getting a COVID vaccination changes a person’s lifestyle, but doing so could keep people well and alive.
2 in congress already have the Kung Flu after being jabbed, the jab is not effective. Like the common cold it will be mutating thats what viruses do. Masks dont work. Hide under your bed with your can of Lysol Biden is spreading infected illegals in a bio warfare against the citizens by plane and bus. It does matter who is in charge.
Republican Rep. Ron Wright died of COVID. He was 67.
Former presidential candidate Herman Cain died of COVID. He was 74.
Rep. Bob Glanzer, Republican State Representative of South Dakota, died of COVID. He was also 74.
H. Scott Apley, a Texas GOP official, died of COVID. He was only 45. Five days before his death, he was sharing anti-mask and anti-vaccination posts on Facebook.
Luke Letlow, Republican Congressman-elect of Louisiana, died of COVID. He died 4 days after Christmas. He was only 41. You should consider what his widow has to say about vaccinations. She says she would have given anything for him to have had the opportunity to be vaccination.
What’s your point about two members of Congress becoming infected after vaccinations? Nobody is claiming vaccination against COVID makes you totally immune to infection. Only that it will keep you from becoming seriously ill, hospitalized, or DEAD if you do.
“I’ll shut down the virus.” Idiot Biden BS. All he can do is open borders and bring in more infection.
I bet he lied when he announced “My butt’s been wiped.” too.
Yeah, sell that fear. Maybe we should shut down in-person voting all together and just let the DNC vote for us. Far too dangerous to go out and vote.
It’s better than selling stupidity. A reasonable level of fear is sometimes entirely appropriate. Anyone who doesn’t fear what COVID could do to their family, their livelihood, or our nation isn’t paying enough attention.
No, you have that in abundant supply, no need to buy. Anyone that can’t see what an utter disaster this regime of corrupt liars is is just plain stupid or anti-American (oops… same thing). Imagine the level of stupidity required to piss and moan about people getting vaccinated and wearing masks while cheering on an idiot pedophile that actually brings infected people into the country, congregates them in close quarters so MORE get infected, then distributes them around the nation.
Oh… you don’t have to imagine. You are living the dream.
The only thing to fear is the lies this regime spread and the damage they do.
The 7-day rolling average of daily US COVID deaths has gone up by 41 percent over the past seven days. Have you looked at a map of where that’s happening?
It’s mostly happening in states where COVID vaccination rates are the lowest, and where the percentage of people who believe the sort of bullshit you’re promoting is highest.
The Delta variant is responsible for 83 percent of all new US infections. It’s a lot more contagious than the original Alpha strain.
97 percent of ALL serious COVID cases in the United States are now people who have not been vaccinated.
THAT’S reality.
Thanks, idiot Biden. Failure, failure, failure. Importing COVID19, killing citizens.
But, but the mentally retarded biden said 350 million are vaccinated. Case closed…
Your meme is retarded. You’re washing nobody’s brain but your own.
Have 350 million been vaccinated in the US?
biden is intentionally flooding the USA with CCP virus infected illegal aliens…
Trump flooded the USA with stupidity.
What a moronic reply. Trump was elected by the intelligent people of this country that care. Idiot Biden was “elected” by copy machines and counting manipulation. Idiot Biden has encouraged and supported a flood of the virus into the country. THAT is what stupid looks like.
greg is a petulant little pussy…
What’s your problem? Biden says we have 350 million vaccinated in the USA. Clip only shows it once but he actually says it twice. The second time he refers to his notes to get it right. So who looks stupid him or his voters?
Note: Us population about 330 million. But then again Dems have trouble with math. 81 million votes.
There’s looking stupid and there’s being stupid. Idiot Biden is so adroit, he can do both at once.
So stupid people don’t get to vote? That’s not going to play well with the groups your party uses as slave voting cattle.
Copy machines do it for them.
Florida breaks record for new daily Covid cases for third time this week – https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-breaks-record-new-daily-covid-cases-third-time-week-n1276263

“This is real. And it didn’t have to be this bad,” Nikki Fried, Florida’s commissioner of agriculture and consumer services, tweeted Saturday. “We need everyone to do their part — #GetVaccinatedNow & #MaskUp. If not for yourself, for your friends, family, and neighbors. For our kids. For our doctors & nurses. For Florida.”
Covid-19 hospitalizations in the state have also increased at record-breaking levels for six consecutive days, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Comrade Greggie, so maybe Beijing Biden could stop shipping Covid positive illegals invading the U.S. via the Texas border to Florida on redeye flights?
Or are you so brain dead that you don’t realize that seeding Florida with Covid positive illegals contributes to the rise in cases in Florida?
No, then the little squatting squad will scold him and he’s afraid of them. They are pulling his strings and he must perform according to the leftist script.
Record breaking for exemplary Florida maybe, but not the failed blue states like CA and NY.
Your attempt to smear Florida and DeSantis is pretty weak.
Isn’t this Biden’s fault, by the logic used on Trump during 2020?
THEY LAUGH AT YOU: Obama and Liberal Elites Spotted Maskless at His Swank Birthday Gala on Martha’s Vineyard as Rest of the Country Hunkers Down in Pandemic
‘Not a Mask in Sight’ – Biden Climate Czar John Kerry Takes Private Jet to Martha’s Vineyard For Obama’s Maskless 60th Bday Extravaganza
They all took private jets and limos to this suck-party. I wonder who they got to replace Epstein to provide the “entertainment”?
Masks for thee but not for me. Obama’s birthday bash a maskless soiree. Looking at the house and gorunds I wonder if he’s made enough money yet. Because you know at some time you’ve made enough. Plates of hypocrisy are best served cold.

Masks? We ain’t got no masks. We don’t need no stinking masks! We’re leftists here to suck Obama’s butt!
A super-spreader event, alright. Super spreader of leftist hypocrisy and stupidity. Now, I wonder how many homeless could have been fed and housed with the money spent on that worthless masturbation?
I wonder if Greg and AJ got to go? They’ve been good little soldiers.
My suggestion would be for those who want to wear masks, make them wear N95 masks; masks that might actually do a little good. Instead of their cute little, comfy fashion statement masks, strap on a tightly fitting, restrictive N95. Then let’s see how enthusiastic they are.
