SDAHO noting positive COVID test results up to highest rate since January 2022

@SoDakCampaigns

From SDAHO:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID-19 data tracker shows an 18.1% test positivity rate for the week ending Aug. 10, the highest it has been since January 2022. Wastewater surveillance, “an early warning sign of COVID-19’s spread in communities,” demonstrates “very high” viral activity for COVID-19 across the U.S. indicating positivity rates could be even higher than reported test results. CDC recommends that everyone ages six months and older receive a 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine.

Read that here.

That does not make me excited to hop on a plane at the end of the week…

  2. Came down with the Trump(COVID-19) virus for the first time two weeks ago and then family members came down. We are still dealing with it. It sucks and is all over South Dakota!

    1. Thank you! We self isolated and were stocked up with 3M South Dakota produced N-95 masks, have self tested and are looking forward to the new booster that will be out in Sept which helps reduce the severity of the symptoms if we do get it again. That helps! The Osterholm Update youtube podcast is a great resource on COVID and other public health trends. https://www.youtube.com/@OsterholmUpdate

  3. Wow! What a relief to know that here in SD it’s all just a hoax perpetrated by the Deep State.

  4. No panic detected in that article, sounds like the guy doesn’t want to get sick… But I suppose you wanna go around licking doorknobs to catch whatever is going around to prove how conservative you are – be my guest.

    1. My long-covid symptoms (episodes of atrial tachycardia, central apnea,) started to clear up 2 weeks after I was vaccinated.
      Turned out it wasn’t a coincidence, and I am one of many long-haulers who got better after vaccination.
      It’s too bad so many people are afraid of the vaccine.

      1. You have right wing media actively feeding misinformation to people. What did you expect?

        1. It wasn’t just “right wing media.”
          People don’t trust what they are told about anything any more.

          My sister was working for Kaiser Permanente; the first cases in the country were in a nursing home in Kirkland, WA.
          In April of 2020 it had already been noted that the one common co-morbidity of everybody who died was severe Vitamin D deficiency.
          Vitamin D is free, just go outside and get some sunlight. Government officials opted to close the municipal parks, playgrounds, beaches, outdoor cafes, and ordered people to stay in their homes instead.
          .
          Then we learned that what was killing people was blood clots: Strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary emboli. Did anybody tell us to stay hydrated, get lots of exercise, and take an 81 mg aspirin every day?
          The people who were sick enough to be hospitalized were given Lovenox. The medical professionals knew that preventing the blood clots was critical. Why wasn’t the public informed?

          When the best thing to do was go outside and get some sun & exercise, we were told to remain indoors and sit on the couch…it’s not surprising people don’t believe anything they hear from the CDC anymore.

      2. As mentioned above, as we get closer to cold and flu season this Fall, it’s still important to get the Covid booster!

  6. COVID is back and should be everyone’s concern. It’s virulent and can be deadly. The new booster will arrive in September.
