Omicron COVID Variant Keeps Evolving, Transmission Rates Increasing in Washington
🕑 Added 2022-07-06 17:28:46 +0000 UTC[OLYMPIA, Wash.] – (MTN) Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) updated criteria for measuring the impact of COVID in a region, 15 Washington counties currently have high community levels of COVID-19. In March, the CDC changed the criteria for defining low, medium, and high to a formula that evaluates new cases, new hospital admissions, and the percent of in-patient staffed beds treating COVID-infected patients.
The University of Washington Virology Lab reported on Monday that test positivity was 15.4% from an Independence Day holiday reduced sample set. The rapidly evolving Omicron variant of COVID has eliminated the tidal waves of new cases that came in spikes every four to six months to a steady but controllable flood.

Unfortunately, US isn’t much better. When I lived in California, it was on top of things and now in Illinois it’s not bad either, but other states? Holly hell. Even here people are simply exhausted and dropping their guard. I get it, but it’s hard to agree with it.
We continue to struggle with a government incompetent enough to waste billions on corrupt/unsafe/unusable PPE. To waste/embezzle billions on NHS track and trace. To continuously ignore, overrule, underestimate and undermine science, scientific data and irrefutable scientific evidence and advice. Then there's the first Glastonbury festival in 3 years post pandemic, with a grotesque incline in new Omicron varation cases, the dropping of passenger location data for incoming and outgoing uk foreign travel...... I'm exhausted with the UK COVID situation!
