I feel nothing but shear Anger towards Parents and Politicians making Health a Politcal Grusome Game.

Bless their hearts. I don't like hearing about so many people sick with this covid right now. I wish everyone would get well.

[PureMI-]

I wish someone would ask these doctors to tell the truth that our children shouldn't be back in school right now? That's how its being spread exponentially. Smh🙏

Thank you. Always thankful we have Dr Fauci and professional doctors to guide us and give us Science-based data updates. Dr Fauci’s patience is commendable in the face of misinformation and unjust animosity

[sixthkyu]

That is tough to grab the whole situation, and it is playing with the life of children

[DarhaLB]

Yup and this info has 0 affects on anti vaxxers

So what does record numbers of hospitalizations equate to, percentage wise? Numbers? Is that ICU or just kids in the ER? What percentage have underlying health conditions? Can we get more specific data? It's well past the information age, here.

361 Children! ……No excuses, those responsible for not taking ever God given possible preventive measure (masks, vaccinations, social distancing, quarantining if knowingly exposed)YOU are the ones that will have to answer to someone higher. If it was your child that was one of those 361 poor children you would be in anguish! Please everyone, stop being selfish, care about the vulnerable, it’s not all about you! I’m begging you out there, we can’t save the ones already gone, but we can for sure prevent more from joining them! I can’t bear the idea of some scared, lonely, severely ill child lying in a hospital bed waiting to live or die when it could have, should have been prevented😩

I hope parents vaccinate their kids who are immune compromised or obese. Most of the kids I see in the news who has those two conditions, get very sick or die. A 4 year old little girl died, children that young have under developed immune systems and need protection.

They put "record numbers" in quotes because if you take any subset of time, you can make the statistic look good or bad. Use your brain folks.

“They make ready their tongue
like a bow, to shoot lies;
it is not by truth
that they triumph in the land.
They go from one sin to another;
they do not acknowledge me, ”
declares the Lord.
“Beware of your friends;
do not trust anyone in your clan.
For every one of them is a deceiver,
and every friend a slanderer.
Friend deceives friend,
and no one speaks the truth.
They have taught their tongues to lie;
they weary themselves with sinning.
You live in the midst of deception;
in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me, ”
declares the Lord.

Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:

“See, I will refine and test them,
for what else can I do
because of the sin of my people?
Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,
but in their hearts they set traps for them.
Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?”

I will weep and wail for the mountains
and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands.
They are desolate and untraveled,
and the lowing of cattle is not heard.
The birds have all fled
and the animals are gone.

“I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins,
a haunt of jackals;
and I will lay waste the towns of Judah
so no one can live there.”

Who is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the Lord and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross?

The Lord said, “It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law. Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their ancestors taught them.” Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water. I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them.”

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come;
send for the most skillful of them.
Let them come quickly
and wail over us
till our eyes overflow with tears
and water streams from our eyelids.
The sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How ruined we are!
How great is our shame!
We must leave our land
because our houses are in ruins.’”

Now, you women, hear the word of the Lord;
open your ears to the words of his mouth.
Teach your daughters how to wail;
teach one another a lament.
Death has climbed in through our windows
and has entered our fortresses;
it has removed the children from the streets
and the young men from the public squares.

Say, “This is what the Lord declares:

“‘Dead bodies will lie
like dung on the open field,
like cut grain behind the reaper,
with no one to gather them.’”

This is what the Lord says:

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches,
but let the one who boasts boast about this:
that they have the understanding to know me,
that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight, ”
declares the Lord.
