The entire political establishment is in agreement on the need to enforce the pro-corporate policy of “forever COVID,” in which the working class and broad layers of society as a whole are condemned to unending waves of mass infection, death and debilitation with Long COVID.
You’re spreading disinformation. This one is not less severe. I know a couple of people who were hospitalized with this strain, and everyone else I know who’s gotten it were knocked on their ass.
By all means, I’d love to see your data.
Not sure why you’d bring anecdotes into this?
Because the government intentionally stopped counting Covid cases, and asked hospitals to stop reporting data. Outside of waste treatment data, anecdotal data is sometimes the best we can get.
I literally work in healthcare. I’ve seen our patient data. There’s no COVID increase. If there is, it’s super mild and people aren’t being hospitalized.
Now we have one anecdote against another… uh oh?
Which state?

Please try to understand statistics before you cite them.
If we had 1 case yesterday and 3 today, we are certainly trending up, yes. I 100% agree that COVID cases are increasing because they ALWAYS will in the winter. Forever.
Edit: also, for the hundredth time, none of this says the cases are severe. You have shown zero evidence about severity.
Moving the goalpost. Check your comment up top. You claimed no increase.
This sounds like an anecdote.
And?
Here, this is a much better comment with sources cited for how viruses work:

It’s a good comment, and points out that the theory it’s become less lethal as it goes on has been debunked.
Covid numbers going down is due to the government refusing to count, and asking healthcare providers to stop providing Covid information.
So unfortunately we’re left with anecdotal info, and data from waste treatment facilities.
