Daily coronavirus infections are more than four times what the U.S. was seeing on Labor Day last year, or a 316% increase, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. And daily deaths are almost twice as high. Blame the highly contagious delta variant and a swath of Americans refusing easily accessible vaccines that most of the developing world is furiously scrambling to obtain. Hospitalizations are up 158% from a year ago, U.S. Health and Human Services data shows. The result: Some U.S. hospitals are getting so crowded with COVID-19 patients that physicians may soon be compelled to make life-or-death decisions

Considering the source, it's probably more fake news.

FTA ~ " Daily coronavirus infections are more than four times what the U.S. was seeing on Labor Day last year or a 316% increase...And daily deaths are almost twice as high.

No. Absolutely not. Infections are up because of illegals swarming the southern border, none of whom are vaccinated, or Afghans that the Biden regime are escorting to military bases, instead of stranded Americans, who were left behind with terrorists. Cut the fear-mongering. It doesn't work anymore.

It is more than last tear at this time because in September last year we were in a slump. Compare it to the peak time last year and we are still well below those numbers. Statistics, gotta love them.

Sick people or just positive tests? Sometimes repeated tests as all are counted. Sometimes false positives.

My advice......drink heavily and do nothing. A government that will abandon its people to a bunch of 7 th century goat herding troglodytes will lie to you about everything.

Please note it took three, count 'em, three so called reporters to write this fear mongering article. Notice they don't mention the death rate. How many light bulbs does it take for reporters to change a light bulb?????

So they are saying all the loss of freedoms we went through for the last 18 months and all of Fauci's pronouncements were for nothing. We should have followed Sweden's example.

They’re liars. These so-called statistics are chronically wrong and are meant to stoke fear. We should all understand by now what the game is. The miracle vaccine being shoved down our throats does not prevent getting Covid or transmitting it. Now they want 3 shots and potentially another one every 6 months. They are guessing and do not have a clue. I absolutely will not follow health care advice coming from that little media hoe Fauci or the morons running the Federal Government.

There is no information about the percent of vaccinated people in this blame game. From what I have read elsewhere, vaccinated people are more prone to the Delta virus, but you won't hear from this tool of the propagandizers.

They say the infection and death rates are dramatically higher than last Labor Day and there was no vaccine this time last year so therefore, we must conclude the vaccines are the cause of our current health crisis. (Isn't that how "the science" game is played?)

That's not too bad considering the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that have entered the country since January.

More fear. More control. More fear. More control.
I bet they’ll try to stop college football games since they’ve had crowds chanting “eff Joe Biden” aka FJB. That can’t help their cause too much. I don’t trust these people.

I had one good friend and a cousin die from Covid, the cousin's funeral was today. Both my friend and my cousin were fully vaccinated. Whole lot of good it did them.

Yeah, that would be me. One of those unvaccinated despots.
I keep hearing this dire overcrowding at our hospitals being pushed, but its funny that this doesn't seem to be the case at my local hospitals at all. I guess Illinois must just be better at it than anyone else /s.

Fear mongering at its very best. The enemedia just loves to throw numbers at us....infections up 316%! Are these the newer, less lethal mutations of covid that were expected to show up? What obscure piece of datum has the Left found and decided to trumpet with their dishonest bombast? Are they somehow using the recently acknowledged 12,000 nursing home deaths from covid that weren't attributed to Andrew Cuomo until now in their sordid little schemes?
We are all the victims of a gigantic Psy-Ops. Our own gvt. wants to control us by keeping us frightened to death. I am convinced 100,000% that this is exactly what they are doing to us.

Like several high-level researchers predicted, the fake vaccines would cause more infections, weaken people's immune systems and create mutation after mutation. We will never get rid of colds, the flu or covid-1984 with a vax or a fake vax.

If 60% of the populace is vaccinated, and there was no vaccine last year at this time, why the increase? Can some explain the so called efficacy of the vaccine and these statistics?

Remember Biden used to be saying that he would not take any COVID vaccine that was created during the Trump era or that Trump had anything to do with. Now Biden and the Democrats have flipped their switch and are encouraging all Americans to take those vaccines. How many lives were lost because the Democrats politicized the vaccines is anyone’s guess. Biden just blows it off, and claims that he has a “plan” that follows the science, and now the number of COVID infections are four times higher than last year at this time.

If you watch TV or read a magazine such as this rag then it's easy to tell who their masters are. Nearly all the ads are for drugs, insurance companies and medicare this or that. That's who pays their salaries and that's why they push drugs.
