Most New US COVID Cases, Hospitalizations Are Younger Adults

U.S. Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky said Friday that hospitalizations and new COVID-19 cases continue to rise, driven by infections in younger adults, who have not yet been vaccinated.
During a White House COVID-19 Response Team virtual news briefing, Walensky noted hospitalizations for COVID-19 rose by seven percent over the past seven days, while new daily infections rose by an average of two percent during the same period.
She noted most of those new cases were among adults age 55 and younger, who have not yet been vaccinated. Walensky also noted a decrease in hospitalizations for those age 65 and older, demonstrating the importance of getting vaccinated, since many older Americans are eligible and have received vaccines.
To further encourage people to get shots, President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor, Anthony Fauci, addressed the issue of vaccine hesitancy based on mistrust of how quickly COVID-19 vaccines were made available. Fauci detailed the years of research that went into developing vaccines.
“The bottom line is, this did not happen in eleven months. It was due to an extraordinary multidisciplinary effort …that had been underway for decades before the unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Fauci told reporters on Friday.
Also at the briefing, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy addressed the toll the pandemic has taken on mental health in the United States, citing new statistics this week showing one in eight people who contracted COVID-19 were diagnosed with a new psychiatric or neurological condition, with anxiety and depression chief among them.
Murthy said younger adults, minorities, essential workers, and unpaid caregivers were disproportionately affected by mental health issues. The U.S. government is providing $3 billion to states to address the problem, and the recently-passed American Rescue plan included another $3.56 billion for prevention and treatment of mental health and substance abuse disorders.
The surgeon general said getting vaccinated can also provide joy and relief to people suffering from pandemic-related anxiety.
The White House COVID-19 response coordinator, Jeff Zients, said three million vaccinations were delivered between April 2 and April 8, with a total of 158 million vaccinations delivered so far. He said that puts the country on track to meet President Biden’s goal of having 200 million Americans vaccinated by the end of April, his first 100 days in office.

Translation – Under 55’s now being targeted for testing prior to hospital admission.

How young, 55 is not young, it is compared to me but it is not young, show us the people. I believe nothing surrounding this flu except the fact that it is a bogus flu and it is being used to destroy freedom and America.

This is the old tactic of divide and conquer. Totalitarian regimes always divide people into groups and then get them one group at the time. The CDC-WHO medical mafia can use the Jew MSM to spin any narrative they want. The fact of it is that in order to get the plantation livestock to accept the “vaccine” slave passports the Zionists have to convince the entire herd to let themselves be roped in and injected. Stalin said that before you can control the population you must first terrorize them. Same program here.

But is it COVID or just a particularly nasty flu virus strain. A strain that was manipulated to be quite nasty but is only really flu. Nobody has truly isolate this virus to test it.
Don’t ask such questions, just take the genetically manipulated vaccine.
So many people will not touch genetically manipulated food products but run headlong to take a vaccine that is based on the same techniques. OK here’s a choice eat genetically altered corn, wheat, tomatoes, beef, fish, etc., or be injected with genetically altered mRNA or gm altered Adenovirus-based vaccines.
From my experience results are nonsensical! Most people would not eat gm food for they fear they are dangerous but are quite OK with being injected with gm products relabeled as ‘vaccines’ though they offer no guarantee of virus immunity or prevent viral spreading.

Yes the young people who have lived in comfort and freedom and have now been subjected to enormous fear and coercion to slow the spread of a very politically responsive virus are collapsing – no surprise there and totally expected. There was a very well respected Italian doctor that at the start of the pandemic observed how anxiety and panic creates complications in people that develop lung/respiratory illness be it a cold, a flu or current virus. The months of propaganda, harrassment and fear mongering has its toll on the healthy and young individuals and the state experts are quick to jump on using it to demonstrate the severity of a cold strain, just to further fuel their intentions for lockdowns and injections and get people to submit.
