CDC Director Mandy Cohen Urges Americans To Mask-Up Yet Again. ‘It’s That Time Of Year Again’

The follower report is by The Messenger:

America’s leading public health official is recommending Americans to wear a mask this flu season to stop the spread of illnesses such as COVID, the flu and RSV.

Mandy Cohen, M.D., MPH, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said in the video posted to her social media accounts that Americans could take precautions to protect themselves against respiratory illnesses heading into the holidays.

To protect yourself and your family this holiday season, take the steps that we do every year to protect ourselves. Get your updated COVID and flu vaccines and your RSV vaccine if you’re over 60. It’s not too late to get vaccinated if you haven’t already.

Use additional layers of protection like avoiding people who are sick, washing your hands, improving ventilation and wearing a mask.

Masks have largely fallen by the wayside in the U.S. A regular sight during the first two years of the pandemic, mask orders have largely vanished across the U.S. Just a fraction of Americans still say they regularly wear a mask outdoors.

However, Dr. Cohen’s warning comes as the CDC once again reported a sharp increase in COVID hospitalizations this week. The number of Americans hospitalized with the virus increased 11% during the week that ended on November 25, an increase of around 20,000.

This increase in COVID cases, combined with the ongoing flu and RSV cases around the U.S., have been dubbed a “tripledemic” by some health leaders.  In total, this respiratory virus season has led to 70% of hospital beds in America being occupied at present. 

It’s that time of year again when we’re seeing a lot of respiratory illnesses like flu, RSV, COVID, and pneumonia. In the United States RSV is elevated, flu is continuing to increase in most of the country and COVID is starting to increase again after being stable for the past few weeks.

Cohen said

The CDC chief also mentioned pneumonia, referring to a global increase in pediatric pneumonia cases being detected worldwide. First emerging in China last month, the U.S., Denmark, Netherlands, France and Ireland have also experienced upticks in cases.

These pneumonia cases have largely been blamed on the regularly circulating illnesses and bacterial infection caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

“Right now, we’re not seeing anything new or unfamiliar in terms of virus or sickness,” she reiterated to Americans, quelling fears that the uptick in pneumonia cases could be tied to a new pathogen circulating.

But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

Job 13:4

Who honestly takes this crap seriously at this point? Obviously some weirdos do, but it’s just comical that they are still pushing this. I suppose they have to keep saving face and pretending like this whole charade is real.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
