Daily Covid Cases Triple Across Southern California

[SunSeeker]

COVID-19 is rebounding across Southern California, swelling the numbers of infections and hospitalizations and prompting fresh calls for residents to get vaccinated.

While their overall numbers remain relatively low compared with the pandemic’s earlier high-water marks, Orange, San Diego and San Bernardino counties have all seen their daily case averages more than triple over the past two weeks — mirroring a trend in Los Angeles County, data compiled by The Times show.

Fourteen days ago, Orange County was reporting a weekly average of about 48 new cases per day. Now, the figure is 150. During that same time, averages grew in San Diego County from 92 cases per day to 344; in San Bernardino County from 55 cases per day to 215; and in L.A. County from 298 cases per day to 983.

2. Me too. All my friends are vaxxed too.

But yeah, so predictable with us fully opening while half of us aren't vaxxed.

3. Imagine how bad the situation would be if there weren't people who were vaccinated.

Since the Delta variant is more communicable to adolescents and young adults it looks like things will really get bad when students return to the schools and universities.

4. Yes, I am dreading the restart of school.

My son's high school here in Orange County is back in session August 16. Lots of anti-vaxx conspiracy nut right wing parents here, so sadly only a tiny percentage of high school age kids are vaxxed in Orange County.
