Summer wave of COVID-19 hitting U.S.

COVID-19 cases are surging across the U.S. with the CDC saying a new variant is growing or likely growing in 43 states. Dr. William Schaffner, a professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, joined CBS News to talk about the rise in cases.

You have no clue what is going on because nobody reports anything anymore. It's like something just disappeared.

The covid shots do not prevent infection.

I am over 70 years old and I don’t go out of my house, but I had workers installing a counter top. 3 days later I started to feel sick and I bought a test kit. It came out positive, I called my doctor and got Paxlovid. It taste horrible and I am still sick. One more day of meds and hopefully end this misery. For now, I am thankful that the fever broke.

I am an elder person, with all the comprised health issues. I never gave up mask and gloves.

Tested positive on Sunday. This is my 4th time having it. My taste and smell is already off from past COVID’s. I can’t taste or smell anything. It sucks.

COVID is awful. It's real. It's even worse on those with pre-existing conditions. Sending prayers out to all, be safe .

It's summer here, and my elderly parents caught something that's been lingering for weeks now. Be safe everyone. Get updated, it's still around.

I don’t understand how the messaging still leaves out Long Covid and organ damage, that can affect anyone!

I moved to a pretty densely populated area right before all of this happened, i find it super fascinating that i didn't really change anything about my daily life, didn't get vaccinated, not an anti vax person by any means. I didn't stop hanging out with my friends, didn't even get so much as a cold this whole time, never tested positive. worked out, washed my hands and took my vitamins. I don't get it

[Pelsluisje]

How is this possible?
With 90% vaccinated?

[MisterDoctorE]

Just getting over it, 10 days sick; it was rough some days.

[jessicah]

Bumper shots? Okay she's in the 85% of people who don't have updated immunity.

Long CoVid is the thing to be worried about. Doesn't matter how old you are...

[buzz]

And here I is still unvaxxed and still dont care bout COVID.😊

Covid hits worse in hot temperatures. We had a bad wave at Christmas here in new Zealand. Mid summer

Be afraid! Be very, very afraid! And don't forget your 2, 957th booster!

[khasha]

I miss the days you could believe the news

I have many clients testing positive and they are pretty sick.When I travel, I am absolutely wearing a mask.

I had covid in 2021-- had a headache like you wouldn't believe, it was so bad I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days straight. I also was exhausted. I'm actually STILL struggling with exhaustion 3 years later.
