.." Key Points
  • Seasonal influenza activity is elevated and continues to increase in most parts of the country.
  • Outpatient respiratory illness has been above baseline nationally since November and is above baseline in all 10 HHS Regions.
  • The number of weekly flu hospital admissions continues to increase.
  • During Week 52, of the 651 viruses reported by public health laboratories, 581 (89.2%) were influenza A and 70 (10.8%) were influenza B. Of the 342 influenza A viruses subtyped during Week 52, 300 (87.7%) were influenza A(H1N1) and 42 (12.3%) were A(H3N2).
  • Seven influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported during Week 52, bringing the 2023-2024 season total to 27 pediatric deaths.
  • CDC estimates that there have been at least 10 million illnesses, 110,000 hospitalizations, and 6,500 deaths from flu so far this season.
  • CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get an annual flu vaccine as long as influenza viruses are spreading.  Vaccination now can still provide benefit this season.
  • There also are prescription flu antiviral drugs that can treat flu illness; those should be started as early as possible and are especially important for higher risk patients.
  • Flu viruses are among several viruses contributing to respiratory disease activity. CDC is providing updated, integrated information about COVID-19, flu, and RSV activity on a weekly basis. "...

I aint getting any more vaccines.

God will create an invisible magical barrier around me that repels all viruses.

Why they simply dont invent a tiny device that repels viruses. Something like mask but better.

Just read and interesting fact.

In the U.S.

A new person is born every 9 seconds.

And someone dies every 10 seconds.

You do the maths.

"In fact, immigrants contribute to the U.S. economy in many ways. They work at high rates and make up more than a third of the workforce in some industries. Their geographic mobility helps local economies respond to worker shortages, smoothing out bumps that could otherwise weaken the economy. Immigrant workers help support the aging native-born population, increasing the number of workers as compared to retirees and bolstering the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. And children born to immigrant families are upwardly mobile, promising future benefits not only to their families, but to the U.S. economy overall."


USA can make up some difference with immigrants. Its Japan who needs to really worry.

"A large number of people died after being infected with COVID -- Japan has reported about 72,000 pandemic-related deaths since the onset of the disease in early 2020. But the underlying reason is the graying of society, with a government estimate released last month showing that 29% of the population is now 65 years old or older."

"The number of deaths was nearly double that of births. The number of newborns fell 5.1% to 799,728 in 2022, with the pace of decline accelerating from 3.4% the previous year. This stems from the shrinking number of Japanese of childbearing age and their declining propensity to have children."


When Japan disappears, it can then be easily conquered by Korea.

Q. When is an immigrant not an immigrant.

A. When they've been there too long to remember.

And the sex industry.

And I expect that a lot of democratic republicans need the sex industry.

Spoilt for choice.
