To let them know its too late. >> the whole policy of using new case numbers to generate policy is coming under more questions especially since millions of people are now taking home tests and not reporting the results anywhere. tennessee has now begun to report its test results weekly instead of daily. and michigan so far is rejecting new federal guidance that calls for covid patients to isolate for five days instead of 10. michigan will keep with the 10-day isolation. death tolls in michigan h...

Exercise caution. the numbers in hospital with covid in england is now rising show —— sharply which may be a sign of things to come here and todays report increase in hospital occupancy here of 80 is the biggest increase we have seen for some time. we also know there is a time lag between rising cases and rising hospital admissions. and in terms of sheer numbers the benefits of a lower rate of hospitalisation could be quickly cancelled out by the much higher case numbers resulting from signi...

And if you compare that to one year ago, which was another huge spike, we all remember, the cases back then were 182,000, roughly. now, if theres any good news, its that the deaths are down from last year, thanks to the vaccines, but still, were at 1,500 deaths a day. i mean, thats still a staggering number. last year, a year ago this time, it was 2,400 deaths per day, so what do you think, dr. shaffner, is going to happen in the next couple weeks? with those case numbers going to go higher or a...

Of cases. >> it is more relevant to focus on the hospitalizations as opposed to the total number of cases. dr. anthony fauci yesterday offering a really helpful framing as we confront this latest covid wave, right? the point hes making is that the case numbers, its worth watching, but they may not be the most consequential thing right now, if most of the cases were getting with this omicron wave are cases in which people arent getting particularly sick. i mean, with this new wave of covid infect...

Since september there has been a shortage. we have trillions of dollars of spending and where is the money going? we cant get monoclonal antibodies. but the emperor has no clothes. all of these rosters are fully vaccinated and the highest case numbers in the past two years. but we have to get back to sanity and stop testing asymptomatic players. i commend aaron rodgers, these players on the line, phil nicholson to speak the truth. hopefully, there can be critical mass for these who can restore s...

Every day we are getting more and more stories from states across the country trying to balance this unprecedented number of hospital lies patient with an equally unprecedented number of sikh staff. but despite that very bad national picture, trying to find some silver lining here, there is maybe some first glimmers of reasons to be hopeful. new york city, youll recall, is the first city to get hit with the omicron wave. this is what cases have looked like over the past few weeks in new york cit...

Before the van pulled up, just to give you some perspective. it is 25 degrees, 18 with the wind chill. i asked people if they felt safe in the line. it is socially distanced for the most part. this is the cluster to the front of the van where it is divided into several lines. most people are masked and distanced. you know, steph, lets talk about why were seeing this also. its because of the case numbers in new york state alone. lets show you from the governor of new york, who tweeted another rec...

Focus, because englund has already done this, the focus is on reducing isolation for index cases from ten days to seven days, its not the only change that we should be considering. we have a situation right now in the wake of 0micron where we ask all household contacts of positive cases to isolate the ten days. i hope we can ease that up as well and i think it makes sense to make sure we are making changes in a coherent manner. these things are not easy, i dont underestimate the reasons why ther...
