Not good and we were doing so well. Guess I won't be dropping that mask afterall:
Walla Walla, Umatilla counties topping COVID-19 spread list
Walla Walla, Benton and Franklin counties are leading the state of Washington and most of Idaho and Oregon in recent new cases of COVID-19, according to data from the Brown University School of Public Health.
Walla Walla County has the highest rate in the three states, with 28.5 new cases per day per 100,000 people over seven days, the university reported Tuesday, using data from the Harvard Global Health Institute and other partners.
County health officials here reported 215 active cases of the virus on Wednesday, July 14. On the same date in 2020, there were 69 active cases in Walla Walla County and 76 cases on July 15, well before any vaccine was available.
In a Facebook post earlier this week, Department of Community Health officials said in June, Walla Walla County had more positive COVID-19 cases than April and May combined and that just nine days into July, there were 37 more cases that the first nine days of the previous month.
Brown University characterized Walla Walla County’s COVID-19 level at being at the “tipping point” and Benton and Franklin counties as having “accelerated spread.”
Franklin County had a rate of 23.1 cases, and Benton County had a rate of 20.9 cases.
Across the state line, as of July 14, Umatilla County had a rate of 24.6 cases per 100,000 people, with a seven-day average of about 19 new cases per day.
That’s nearly double the rate or more of other Oregon counties in the accelerated spread category; Umatilla County is headed into the “tipping point” of 25-plus cases per 100,000 people. That would have warranted stay-at-home orders under Oregon’s former risk level plan.
In northern Idaho, Shoshone County had a daily case rate of 21.1, ranking it fourth. By comparison, Washington’s most populous county, King County, had a case rate of 5.1.
MONKEYPOX!!!!!

So you are saying that my high school buddy who began his comment that he is “not an anti vaxer” and the claimed “this is his field” (btw, he is a bio chemist that specializes in micro filters and bio remediation) should likely be ignored?Quote:

What's bio remediation?Quote:

Every year you’re going to have to get a Covid booster for the X/Y/Z variant that’s “more dangerous and deadly” than the last one 🙄
but keep on that fear mongering bud. It seems like it’s working wonders for you and all the others on this site.
what? influenza will still kill 20-60k a year regardless of what covid does. they’re completely separate.
Correct; the current flu strain is just a mutated form of the 1918 flu pandemic. Coronavirus is a new flu virus. It’s literally going to be treated the same way as the flu in 5-10 years. You don’t see people yelling at other people to go and get the yearly flu vaccine because it could make them sick. In 5-10 years when we’ve had more contact with this new coronavirus, we’re going to treat it like the fucking yearly flu that it is.Quote:

And we are not done with it.
Urging people to accept this reality shouldn’t be as difficult as it is, but thanks to people like you who dismiss it in the face of all facts, people still cover their eyes & ears to addressing the problem directly.
Congratulations
do you get a flu shot every year? Most people that are healthy, in shape, with no adverse health effects do not get a flu shot as typically, its nothing serious. Same shit with Covid. Protect the sick and the unable but to shut down the entire country because of the minority was ridiculous. And it’s going to happen again. Cases are going to go up because it’s going to get colder and more people generally get sick in winter than in summer. We’ll be back to masks and distancing come winter (although I seriously hope I’m wrong) if what I’m seeing on here and in the news (in so far as cases rising so we need masks) comes true.Quote:
