Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
... US states with low vaccination rates will be forced back into masking in the fall.
COVID-19D hospital stays and deaths are rising in the USA primarily among those who are unvaccinated.
Rising inflation rates are a result of a booming US economy creating high demand for many goods that are in short supply due to world wide logistical challenges caused by the pandemic.Comment

"Non-scientific arguments"? I'm only going off the CDC and WHO's scientific and health data, along with many medical and scientific experts. Not sure what more you need!

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Don't take any offense, but do you know why you're wrong so often? Because you only repeat liberal talking points. Joe Biden and the dems are about to print $3.5 trillion for their "infrastructure" plan. That's gonna shoot inflation to the moon. I'll be here to remind you once again that you were wrong.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
The liberal governments are unsuccessfully offering incentives to people to get them to get vaccinated. Maybe they should get Pfizer to offer a 90 day supply of one of their other products, Viagra. Might bring in a lot of middle aged and older men and their wives.Comment

L.A. County coronavirus spike hits alarming levels, with 10,000 infected in a week, as Delta variant spreads
A Los Angeles Times data analysis found L.A. County was recording 101 weekly coronavirus cases for every 100,000 residents, up from 12 for the seven-day period that ended June 15. That means the county has surpassed the threshold to have "high" community transmission of the disease, the worst tier as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A region must hit 100 or more weekly cases per 100,000 residents to enter the worst tier.
It's still far fewer than during the deadly winter surge, when L.A. County was recording more than 1,000 weekly cases for every 100,000 residents, but it underscores growing concerns that unvaccinated people are at heightened risk.
The primary rationale for a mandatory mask policy in indoor public settings is to get unvaccinated people to start wearing their masks again, reducing the risk of disease transmission until new infections decline.
Officials believe many unvaccinated people stopped wearing masks at the same time vaccinated people did so, even though uninoculated people are still under orders to continue wearing face coverings. Of new coronavirus cases in L.A. County over a recent six-month period, 99.6% involved people who have not been vaccinated.

Dow tumbles 700 points for its worst drop since October as investors fear a Covid resurgence
U.S. stocks fell aggressively Monday on concern a rebound in Covid cases would slow global economic growth. The selling picked up as the session went on, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average had its worst day since last October.
The Dow dropped 725.81 points, or 2.1%, to 33,962.04 in a broad-based rout that sent all 30 members lower. At one point during the session, the Dow was down 946 points before recovering some ground into the close.
The S&P 500 fell 1.6% to 4,258.49. Energy, financials and industrials were the worst-performing sectors.
The tech-dominated Nasdaq Composite slid 1.1% to 14,274.98, posting its fifth-straight day of losses and worst losing streak since October.
The 10-year Treasury yield reached a five-month low of 1.17%, exacerbating fears about the slowing economy. The small-cap Russell 2000 dropped 1.5% and briefly dipped into correction territory on an intraday basis - down more than 10% from its March high.
Covid cases have rebounded in the U.S. this month, with the delta variant spreading among the unvaccinated. The U.S. is averaging nearly 26,000 new cases a day in the last seven days through Sunday, up from a seven-day average of around 11,000 cases a day a month ago, according to CDC data. Cases were already flaring up around the world because of the delta variant.
The Cboe Volatility Index surged as high as 25 amid the broad market sell-off, its highest level since May. The so-called fear gauge looks at prices of options on the S&P 500 to track the level of fear on Wall Street.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
All the doctors offices I have repaired machines at and the ones I walk past going to my calls, No one is wearing masks. I would think if it is as bad as they are saying that at least doctors would be wearing masks. They must know something that they are not telling us.Comment
