COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations break records in U.S.

The U.S. is setting new records of daily coronavirus infections with nearly 3.9 million confirmed cases in the past seven days. CBS News correspondent Manuel Bojorquez reports on the recent COVID-19 surge nationwide and CBS Chicago's Charlie De Mar has the latest on classes being canceled at Chicago Public Schools on Wednesday. Then, Dr. Sujan Gogu, a family medicine, sports and pain medicine physician, joins CBSN's Lana Zak with analysis.

This is all the news there is and this is not even news

Daily cases are starting to drop Omicron is burning through the population fast. By summer we should see an end to the pandemic. Let's hope we do!

Prove it. Show hospitals full of people.

IF MY FIRST 2 MODERNA SHOTS HAVENT DONE NOTHING TO prevent me from covid, 3 different times, wtf is a booster supposed to do???

So I have two friends that are in the hospital that went in for two separate surgeries. Both had negative covid results from test they took the day they went in. Now both are listed as covid patients even though they have no symptoms.

What's funny is..a few people I know went to the hospital for COVID..and then basically ran off. They only had COVID.

Anecdotal story: my wife and have done missions work, so we're in contact with a bunch of people from handfuls of churches across the country. We probably hear more Covid stories than most folk.
In Wisconsin today: someone presented at a hospital and was diagnosed with both Covid and pneumonia - not that uncommon a combination, and often a dangerous one.
The hospital gave him an inhaler and a steroid and sent him home.
His family is requesting prayer.
This wouldn't have happened a few years ago. If someone showed up with flu and pneumonia serious that they administered steroids, they'd have qualified for an overnight.
When people tell you the omicron surge isn't affecting hospitals, shake your head and walk away. Rationing has already started in some places. This will get worse before it gets better.

You are not trying hard enough to get it, everyone must get it, get over in, and get on with your lives, no more government control.

Kind of interesting how I have not seen one person in this comment section talk about eating healthy or getting more exercise

[koerttijdens]

We need more Boosters, more Boosters, more Boosters

[theempirestate]

This is really getting out of hand wtf 🙄

[silkcitysocialist]

Its almost impossible to find an appointment for PCR testing and the rapid test are hard to find and don't work well to detect omicron.

[Tumbleweedin]

STOP THIS CHILD ABUSE. You will get your KARMA. Never forget.

[DriftyJayy]

Literally half my family has it. The same ones that claimed it was a joke a year ago too.

[t-bone]

The CDC are out of there minds. 5 day quarantine are ridiculous, should have stayed at 10. Those new policies are very careless. This crap is never going anywhere, too many careless people making these policies.

[ladycommentor]

And people still don't care😆😆 oh well... Americans don't usually take responsibility nor care about others

[wllmshrwn]

Guess it's not a HOAX!!!, after all!!!

[nm]

I think they’ll soon up the total to 6, 000, 000 cases per day... that number just has a nice ring to it

[troyjones]

A mild strain is overrunning hospitals? Their definition of mild must be different.
