DIAZ-BALART: If you’ve noticed more of your friends, neighbors, loved ones are testing positive for COVID, you’re not alone. According to the CDC, COVID-19 hospitalizations are up 12 percent from last week and while we’re nowhere near previous levels, it’s still raising concerns.
Joining us now with more is Dr. Kavita Patel who served as a White House policy director in the Obama Administration. She is an MSNBC medical contributor. Dr. Patel, it’s always great seeing you. So, I think we’ve, kind of, all been noticing that right, there’s somebody you know or people are, you know, think they have a cold and it ends up being COVID. What’s going on? What are you seeing?
PATEL: Well, we’re seeing the same thing, José, in clinic. We are, as you said, hospitalizations are going up. Let me start with good news. We are not seeing anywhere near the dramatic rises that we saw in previous summers or previous years, that’s good news. That’s because a large part of the population has either been infected and vaccinated or both several times.
So, what I think people need to know is that, I would just keep people on alert, that when you’re in those crowded spaces, think about the cost of colds and sometimes many people don’t have any symptoms, a mask can be your best friend, keep it—back in time we had them in our pockets, in our coats and our backpacks, time to bring them out again, especially as the school season starts. We don’t want to see kids missing school for things we could have prevented.
They have released a new variant.
Must be crime season…. time for all the thugs to mask up.
Fake tests & fake results. NO MORE MASKS & LOCKDOWNS! This just proves these evil ones will never stop & must be eliminated or they will continue their agenda to destroy humanity & all of God’s creation.
We need to arrest the 1% central bankers robbing us blind so they can pull this on us again and again.
Oh big deal if people get a cold in winter . Who cares ?And they dont need to go to hospital at about 2400 dollars a day to the hospital s profits . They can take vit c zinc magnesium and D and go to school or work.Give rhem some speed if they’re feeling run down .
The gig is up dipshiit. Covid 19 was a hoax.
Looks like their psyops just aren’t getting traction any more. I’m actually embarrassed for their stupidity for even trying this again.
Shove the masks in your evacuation orifice. I never complied the first time and I certainly won’t this time.
DELUSIONAL RETARDED IDIOTS!
it must be bc they found out that the masks didn’t protect last time, so the psychos want more of that useless BS??
Question, When covid was announced they knew who was on the planes from China. Why didn’t they quarantine these people? Never again will we go along with their mask mandates. Fool me once, well you know the rest of it.
