Biden at the CNN town hall: "It's real simple. We have a pandemic for those who haven't gotten a vaccination. It's that basic. That simple."

"They're not promising me any specific date, but my expectation, talking to the scientists…is that sometime, maybe in the beginning of the school year, at the end of August, beginning of Sep, Oct, you'll get a final approval" from FDA on vaccines, Biden says.

The country’s months-long decline in coronavirus cases, deaths and hospitalizations bottomed out in late June.
But the spread of variants has pushed rates back up, especially in states with low vaccination rates. https://t.co/lUzPHg5zGx

I’m concerned about the accelerating number of children with COVID19 in pediatric intensive care units PICUs in areas where vaccinations are low and delta is accelerating. https://t.co/zEJlKDyGKY

Sure, eleven kids isn’t much, exactly, but… if I knew a teen / tweener whose parents were ‘vaxx-hesitant’, I’d be trying to smuggle the kid into a vaxx clinic showing them this story:
Arkansas Children’s Hospital reported 11 confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations Monday along with several more suspected.
“About half of those are critically ill. They’re in our ICU requiring ventilator support or really have COVID-pneumonia,” said Dr. Rick Barr, Chief Clinical Officer at Arkansas Children’s…
“Previously most of the children that were admitted were incidentally found to be COVID positive,” Barr said. “They weren’t admitted because they had COVID. They were admitted for some other reason. Now we’re seeing more and more children that are admitted because of their COVID infection. That’s the primary reason for their hospital admission.”
The most serious cases are those who are adolescents or “tweens.”…
The hospital has not admitted a child that has been vaccinated…
Dr. Barr says they are seeing a few hospitalizations but not serious reactions in the younger age groups of babies and toddlers between the ages of one to three, but those instances are usually COVID paired with another virus like RSV.
“Young kids don’t seem to be as seriously ill when they do get infected,” he said.
The ivermectin Covid scandal shows how vulnerable science is to fraud. The anti-parasitic rose in popularity after a *retracted* report showed a huge reduction in deaths. But the data were not only false, some of it was plagiarized from unrelated research https://t.co/tfzureZNhw pic.twitter.com/jP1vWu2h6g

#1 in COVID hospitalizations right now:
Joplin, Mo.
1 out of every 1,333 residents in the hospital w/COVID, per NYT stats.About *9X* the national average. So, yeah, it can get a lot worse.
