People Experiencing Covidness

Of course, the recommendation is to stick with the needle to the bitter end.

“COVID wastewater levels are the highest they’ve been in 2 years” (Boston.com, 2024.01.09):

The weekly average of COVID-19 in wastewater from Boston and communities north of the city was 2,743 copies per milliliter on New Year’s Day, according to data from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. Communities south of Boston, meanwhile, had a seven-day average of 2,583 copies per milliliter.

Those numbers mark a sharp uptick even from early December — an early warning sign of a potential surge. However, the current wastewater figures are still just a fraction of what they were during the January 2022 omicron surge that overwhelmed emergency rooms. For example, on Jan. 3, 2022, COVID-19 wastewater levels reached a seven-day average of 8,353 copies per milliliter in the MWRA’s northern system and 11,446 copies per milliliter in the south.

Last Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the JN.1 variant — a new, highly contagious strain of COVID-19 — accounts for about 62% of all current cases in the U.S.

“COVID-19 cases surging in New York” (Times Union, 2024.01.09):

Deaths, hospitalizations and cases have jumped significantly since the end of 2023, and wastewater surveillance systems show surging disease activity nationwide. In New York, more than 3,200 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Friday — an increase of 48 percent from the 2,250 that were hospitalized before Christmas, according to the most recently published hospitalization data from the state Department of Health.

“US sees largest COVID wave since omicron” (Semafor, 2024.01.08):

The wave of COVID-19 currently sweeping the U.S. is being led by JN.1, a new variant that is highly transmissible and showing up even in people who are vaccinated or have been infected before. Wastewater detection levels indicate that this could be the U.S.’ largest wave of infections since the 2021 omicron variant, with about 2 million Americans infected every day.

Despite the spike in cases, COVID-related hospitalizations and deaths are down from last year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported an average of 1,400 deaths each week since Thanksgiving, which is less than half of the fatalities at that point last year.

Now that the society has turned into the breeding vat for SARS-CoV-2 variants, we are fast approaching the grand finale of this drama…

And even though the Covid hospitalizations and deaths are not particularly high, the infected keep producing, in their bodies, copious amounts of toxic S spike proteins with all the resulting other ill health effects — watch the excess mortality stats closely.
