Bit alarming the case numbers rising so much on Rhodes
So what is the alarm? Yes 3k ppl are infected but the 121 ppl in the hospital stands the same.
Sean,newly infected people are not usually admitted to hospital requiring emergency care at the first onset of Covid 19 and its variants,it often takes a little time before its not possible to stay at home with the symptoms and so the call is made for help,thats when higher admission numbers will be seen.We should be alarmed,all of us,alarm should lead us to extreme caution.
so, which of the 9 deaths attributed here was the 96 year old lady in Volo who died of kidney failure, who was , at deaths door, given a rapid test (negative) and then a pcr (positive)? covid became a time-traveller and ruined her kidneys? 96 is so young, too.
or maybe theyre desperately trying to keep up the farce of a ‘deadly pandemic’ to push their injections on you and ram more dictatorship than the 1940s ever saw down your throats?
