China is locking down in some of it's manufacture centers, looks like uncontrolled spread with their shitty vaccine, this could get really bad fast. Early studies of omicron BA2, BA2.2 show it's much more infectious and deadly than BA1.

Uncontrolled spread of covid without a good vaccine in chinas manufacturing centers will kill the supply chain, life changing shortages.

Looks like wastewater numbers are rising fast in the mid west, Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio look the worst with the current numbers available. Many areas have stopped reporting wastewater numbers, harder to get info and it seems deliberate.

I think we are making 1.5 billion doses a month of mRNA vaccines now, enough to vaccinate the entire population of China, with a month between doses. I don't imagine they will have an issue with mandatory vaccinations, no freedumb convoys there, no freedom either! Maybe we could use it as a bit of a carrot and stick for cooperation on Russia? Speaking of Russia and covid, if they didn't trust the government before on vaccines, wait until after this. I wouldn't expect much news out of Russia on covid, half the place could croak before the government said a peep.

What rising Covid-19 infections in the UK and Europe could mean for the US

Two weeks after the United Kingdom dropped its last remaining Covid-19 mitigation measure -- a requirement that people who test positive for the virus isolate for five days -- the country is seeing cases and hospitalizations climb once again.

If you look at excess deaths from the start of the pandemic till today, it's been on a very steady rise with no sign of even leveling off let alone falling.

I think my little calico cat, Whisper, has covid. She is a tree climbing fool. Unless she is sleeping, she's always on the go. Three days ago she seemed tired. Then yesterday morning she could barely stand or walk. She did improve during the day yesterday, but still real weak today. I'm trying not to breath her air, but making sure she eats and stays out of the rain, etc.

Use a quick test to find out and if she is negative, if she is, ask the vet about a visit.

Other than food (and getting them fixed), I don't spend money on animals.

We live on a crossroads, and I get many, many pets dumped. Whisper turned up right before Halloween, about 5 or 6 weeks old. Cali (who looks like she could be Whispers sister) showed up right before Valentine's Day, about 5 or 6 weeks old. I figure there is a serial holiday kitten dumper on the loose.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. Wastewater shows first indication. If you got vaccination booster early, it is likely waning in efficiency.
It's coming around again.

115 days since boost. only 4 positive covid inpatients in my hospital currently but there are no changes in strict covid precaution measures. no one is allowed into the hospital as a guest without vax card even with a mask. no one wants to see what happened back in the beginning of the pandemic when hallways were overflowing with covid patients. there are only 2 public entrances to the hospital and both are high security check points.

BA2 now accounts for 1 in 4 cases, doubled from last week and near 40% in the north east US.
38% of wastewater sites that the CDC monitors have shown a rise in the last 2 weeks.
