California virus cases stop falling, governor urges caution

[OneCrazyDiamond]

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom rolled up his sleeve Wednesday and received a coronavirus vaccine booster shot, a move he encouraged others to take as the state heads into the time of year that in 2020 ushered in the deadliest spike of COVID-19 cases.

Much has changed since then — 88% of those 18 and older in California have received at least one dose of a vaccine that didn’t exist last fall and millions have survived contracting the virus and have a level of natural immunity, though it’s unclear for how long.

Still, millions are not vaccinated and new cases and hospitalizations have flattened after a steady two-month decline that saw California boast the nation’s lowest infection rate. State models show a gradual increase in hospitalizations in the next month.

1. We'll have another wave, especially due to the holiday

season like last year but it won't be as bad since people are being vaxxed. I think Covid comes in waves, every 3-4 months.

2. I think so too.

Mostly I am concerned about a new variant hitting that the shots don't work on.

3. Yes, THAT is a very real fear.

4. Yep, people never learn.

AGGGH -- Cases are up, people are dying, we better pay attention and behave ourselves
Phew -- cases are down, I guess we've conquered the virus (but they didn't), PARTY ON!

Wash, rinse, repeat.


Doesn't stop until 90+% of the population gets vaccinated.

6. Even when they die their friends and families

continue with the BS that has been spoon fed to them via Fux Ruse and social media. I knew people were dumb, but this takes the cake.

I have been following the UK and Russia and Russia is seeing new highs in deaths AND new cases since they aren't getting vaxxed, despite Russia developing their own effective vaccine. Their deaths and new cases are rising at the same rate...very bad! I don't know what the Hell is going on in the UK. The Delta variant is strong in the US and the UK but they can't bring their numbers down.

5. In San Diego County, it actually went up, this past week! ...

I do believed another wave is coming.
