There you have it from the scientists themselves.
CDC chief warns U.S. headed for 'impending doom' as Covid cases rise again: 'Right now I'm scared'
CDC chief Dr. Rochelle Walensky on Monday urged Americans to "just hold on a little longer" as Covid-19 cases rebound amid an accelerating vaccine rollout.www.cnbc.com
The U.S. is facing “impending doom” as daily Covid-19 cases begin to rebound once again, threatening to send more people to the hospital even as vaccinations accelerate nationwide, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.
“When I first started at CDC about two months ago I made a promise to you: I would tell you the truth even if it was not the news we wanted to hear. Now is one of those times when I have to share the truth, and I have to hope and trust you will listen,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a press briefing.
“I’m going to pause here, I’m going to lose the script, and I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom,” Walensky said. “We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for hope, but right now I’m scared.”
The U.S. is recording a weekly average of 63,239 new Covid-19 cases per day, a 16% increase compared with a week ago, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Daily cases are now growing by at least 5% in 30 states and the District of Columbia.
Welcome to Florida for Spring Break. All of Texas is now fully open. No masks anywhere. Many red states have no mask mandates at all. The CDC is putting out this warning to Republican states to stop reopening so damn fast. You're within weeks of getting sufficient vaccines in arms to prevent further illness and death.
You're denying the science. Cases are declining in Texas and elsewhere where mask mandates and lockdowns have ended. Cases are rising in places where people are still forced to stay together in homes and buildings, or break the "rules" to congregate in secret.
Not to mention the Covid and humanitarian disaster Joe Biden has created at the border, where Covid-infected kids are PACKED together by the thousands in facilities designed for dozens. You're part of the problem by providing cover for this.
