New cases are up 42 percent, to a daily average of 3,737 as of Thursday. That is considerably over what the epidemiology models foresaw when this new surge began. “We’re on track to have the worst spike in the pandemic”

Maybe everybody who gets the shot should also receive an American flag pin. And those who shun the vaccine—or undermine it, like Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado—should stop wearing them entirely.

A Republican such as her who has prattled about “needle Nazis” might not seem so remarkable anymore. But even as much of America seems to be reaching some kind of pandemic stability, her state has moved back into the red.

The experts can only offer educated guesses why COVID cases are rising in Colorado while declining in other parts of the country. And they can only surmise why the state is also seeing a huge increase in medical urgencies of all kinds.

1. Dr. Osterholm has said that if you don't get the vaccine you *will* get covid, sooner or later.

I think we might be starting to see that.

2. News in Detroit is reporting the same thing.

3. It is important to get a booster shot

5. I had mine the other day, and I'm having a really bad reaction.

First shot, no problem at all. Second shot, some fever, body aches, tiredness.

This booster I had two days ago. Fine the first day and night, then yesterday I felt like a truck hit me by afternoon. Fever rose through the night to 103, then seemed to break this morning around 430.

Exhausted now, but even more nervous that it will hit me again.

7. I had a worst reaction to the third shot (Moderna) as well.

I am taking as evidence that I produced a lot of antibodies after a booster.

8. It's what's known as an immune inflammatory response.

It's not an adverse effect of the vaccine; it's the vaccine working the way it's supposed to; your symptoms are an effect of the immune system being stimulated to create immune antibodies to fight COVID-19 infection.

This is the reason so many people think "the vaccine gave me the disease".

You'll recover pretty soon, and will feel all the better for it. It happened to me, too.

4. Worldometers reported nearly 95,000 new cases on Wednesday.

Yesterday's data is still incomplete; numbers for less than half of the states are reported.
From the look of it, I would expect the total to be close to Wednesday's number when the total is in.

6. Covid cases are now rising in majority of the states.

So yes, it isn't over.

9. Mask like your life depends on it!

Do not let your guard down on this - this is one slippery virus.
