"Rapid COVID Surge Overwhelms US Hospitals and Wastewater Signals New Wave"

TL;DR Summary
Wastewater data suggests over 2 million COVID-19 infections per day in the US, with hospitals strained and admissions rising, particularly among those 70 years or older. The JN.1 variant is driving the surge, leading to overcrowded emergency departments and ICUs. Despite the ongoing surge, the Biden administration remains indifferent, and there is a lack of media coverage on the severity of the situation. Evidence suggests the JN.1 variant may be more virulent, posing a potential threat. The international working class is warned about the need for a globally-unified program to prevent the evolution of deadlier variants.
