COVID-19 cases in the US rise by almost 70% in a week

Health officials in the United States say the surge in cases is driven by the highly contagious Delta variant. It is largely affecting younger people.
However, there is concern it is increasing the risk for younger children not eligible for the vaccine.
Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane reports from Washington, DC.

Thomaslogan once said “if you don’t fine a way to make money while you sleep, you’ll work until you die”.

It's their loss. If they choose not to believe in science and are willing to put their lives at risk, then they are responsible for any ill health effects.

Were is this woman coming with these numbers. All lies

Unfortunately, minimal risk about any medicarion cannot be totally prevented. One in a million or less chance of reaction is there with any medication.

The lie requires continuous shoring up.

[atiqrahman]

Vaccine is needed, despite some risk of adverse reaction in very few.

We're not having no surges over here these are lies I'm out working everyday and interacting with all my customers for the last 2 years straight nothing's changed only met two people that supposedly caught the covid

And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved - but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers.
How wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve in what Allah has revealed through [their] outrage that Allah would send down His favor upon whom He wills from among His servants. So they returned having [earned] wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.
And when it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah has revealed, " they say, "We believe [only] in what was revealed to us." And they disbelieve in what came after it, while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say, "Then why did you kill the prophets of Allah before, if you are [indeed] believers?"

Please read the Quran once in your mother language

Wonder if this has more to do with what's coming over the border.

@Al Jazeera English You should clean up among all the disgusting anti vaxx-comments.

I live in the states...this is false news pertaining to Florida

They need to lock down again. Send more stimulus checks. If the gov. did that properly in the first place we wouldn't be in this mess. But Trump just had to keep the rich getting more in the stock market

[lordjim]

This seems to be one of the worst channels spreading misinformation, lies and fear...

[johndough]

Well at least we can be thankful this is the off-season for viruses. By Fall these numbers will be daily, not weekly. We are literally in the 2nd inning with this Pandemic and most act as if its over.

The majority of commenters in this thread should be thanked by Chinese and Russian authorities for doing their work for them. It's amazing, the US is self imploding, all these people who don't trust their own government with even the most basic things like counting dead bodies and bodies currently in hospital due to a certain cause.
