The number of coronavirus cases in California has significantly worsened this past week, hitting a level not seen since the winter’s Omicron surge and raising concerns about the possibility of a big jump in infections this summer.
California officials remain hopeful that a relatively robust effort to get residents to take booster shots plus suggestions to wear masks and get tested frequently can help the state avoid the kind of intense surge those cities have experienced.“The task in front of us is similar to work we had to do at other points over the past 2½ years: slowing transmission,” L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said in a statement.
Dr. Robert Kosnik, director of UC San Francisco’s occupational health program, said at the briefing that he expects coronavirus cases to continue going up for at least the next couple of weeks.
The overall rate for Southern California was 201, with Los Angeles County’s rate at 224; San Diego County, 214; Ventura County, 201; Orange County, 171; Riverside County, 163; and San Bernardino County, 147.Officials and experts in California cannot say with certainty why the state’s increasing coronavirus case rates have not translated into larger numbers of hospitalizations, leaving the state in a much better spot than the East Coast.
The elderly are at highest risk of dying from COVID-19. Among those seniors who have been vaccinated but are still dying of COVID-19, most haven’t received a booster shot, Chin-Hong said.
Big fucking deal.
Where is Newsome NOW?
that’s what happens when your public health response is 🤷♀️
Stop bullshitting
It’s nice that articles warning about public health emergencies are behind a paywall -real responsible la times !
lapublichealth is reporting 1/2 new cases 2400 (vs 4700 last week) & OChealth hasn't reported since 5/19. Where do you get these statistics? I am a huge supporter of distancing, masks and vaccination. But this is POOR REPORTING and sounds like fear mongering to me. CDCgov
Hospitalization still extremely low, and even then the measures of 'hospitalization' are mostly incidental. So why not make your headlines real, rather than hyperbole to sell your leftist newspaper?
Great news

If you’re scared of the virus then stay home. If not the rest of us don’t want to waste a third year of our lives and want to get back to life.
