"Protection against infection and hospitalization with the omicron variant is highest for those who are up to date with their vaccination, meaning those who are boosted when they are eligible," said CDC director Dr Rochelle Walensky during a White House Covid Task Force briefing Friday.

Americans are understandably frustrated. When the vaccines became available, we were told we could reach “herd immunity” if 60 or 70 percent of Americans got vaccinated, meaning that most of the population would become immune, leaving fewer people to infect. Then that number started to climb. Soon, the discussion of herd immunity quieted.

As of January 8, more than 188 out of 100,000 unvaccinated people in LA were hospitalized with COVID-19, compared with 35 out of 100,000 vaccinated people without boosters and eight out of 100,000 vaccinated people with boosters. A January CDC study found that boosters reduced the risk of hospitalization from Omicron by around 90%.

Wouldn't it be easier for them just to look at the status of those hospitalized specifically for covid-related issues?

Virus Expert Says Here's What Your "New Normal" Will Look Like
CBS just reported that, according to a recent poll, "70% of Americans polled agreed… 'It is time we accept COVID is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives'." But how do we "get on" with life when there is a potentially life-threatening virus at large? "We are not anywhere near the end of the pandemic," said Dr. Ashish Jha, Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, on CBS Mornings today—but he did say what the future may look like, and how you can stay safe.

Though Covid cases and hospitalizations are falling fast in the U.S., two key metrics are still too high to ditch mask recommendations.

With many governors lifting mask mandates in schools, and COVID cases going down after the worst of the Omicron surge (in some states, not all yet), it's undeniably tempting to think the pandemic is over and we can all "move on." Not so fast, says Former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb. You're not fully safe right at this moment. Why not, and how can you protect yourself? Read on to hear the 5 thoughts he shared yesterday with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation—and to ensure your health and the health of others.

If we split the governors into covid deniers and those who've treated covid as a serious threat, I'm pretty sure NJ is the only 'covid-serious" governor relaxing the mask policy in schools. The NJ policy does not take effect for another 4-5 weeks(?). So they are not saying the threat is over today, only that it looks like we can relax in a month or so. Let's hope they're right!

It will NEVER be over.... It will never go away! Anybody who thinks it will go away is a fool. We will just have to accept the "new normal" that is Endemic Covid. It seems, given the level of 'Covid Burnout"... America is rapidly approaching the new normal.

Not really.
People that are only listening to the news don't realize how bad it is getting.
Certain things that will need to die, just have not.

As they go through the labor issues... we will see it happen.

States are beginning to lift mask mandates. CDC data suggests it's too early.
High transmission and test rates mean that more than 99 percent of U.S. counties should keep masking up.
