Making this political played a big role in the deaths of 560k+ Americans

I believe my state lifts its mask mandate today. Not sure about Indianapolis

Looks like blocking could force the pattern to turn cooler

Not a fan of that particular vaccine

I'm starting to think these two are trolls. They are beyond reasoning with

You struggle with common sense and compassion for your fellow Americans

There is still a huge segment of the population that refuses to get vaccinated thus the virus will still have plenty of host to mutate in

Looking like another beautiful day here

The Brazil variant has proven to be far more deadly among the youth in Brazil. I don't think it is a coincidence that we are seeing more youth get more sick. This surge should be brief but it could be potent if we are not careful

Ready for some good thunderstorms. Come on spring

We are at a very crucial point for the young unvaccinated. It is literally a race now between vaccination and a new potentially deadly surge among our youth

"COVID-19 daily hospitalization data indicates that the large growth in hospitalizations in Michigan in March is occurring among younger age groups that have the lowest vaccination rates among the state population, according to inpatient data collected by the Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA). From March 1 to March 23, hospitalizations increased by 633% for adults ages 30-39 and by 800% for adults ages 40-49. Hospitalization growth rates decline as the vaccination rates per age group increases, with hospitalizations increasing by just 37% for adults 80 or older, of which 44% of the population are fully vaccinated in the state. The correlation between high vaccination rates and lower hospitalization growth rates shows the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine and how it protects from the risk of severe disease or hospitalization. The data also indicates that, although older adults still have a higher risk of hospitalizations, the percentage of hospitalized patients who are younger than 40 years old has doubled, showing that adults of any age are vulnerable to complications from the disease."

"The daily hospital admission rate based on a seven-day rolling average for younger age groups in Michigan is up over the same averages during the massive autumn surge. For instance, the Michigan Health & Hospital Association reports that among those aged 30-39, there were 26 daily admissions based on a seven-day average during the fall and winter surge, while today there are 43 admissions in the same age bracket. The 40-49 age bracket is seeing a similar rise, with 58 being admitted daily compared to 33 during the autumn surge. For those 60 and older, hospitalizations have declined sharply as vaccinations have risen. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services says 35.2% of Michigan adults have received at least one vaccine dose and 21.5% have been fully vaccinated."

Very foolish. Playing with fire

Exactly. Just do the research

This can go very bad if we are not careful. These variants are a huge wildcard

Holidays are affecting numbers this week. Just a heads up

You just don't get it. Smh
