COVID Pimps Getting Excited for Anticipated Summer Virus Surge
‘People are becoming newly susceptible every day; I don’t foresee it going away for the foreseeable future’
By Katy Grimes, August 2, 2023 8:00 am
In the Wednesday print edition, the Sacramento Bee reports COVID cases are up. In the online edition, the headline is “Are COVID cases on the rise in Sacramento?”
Either way, it’s clear the alarmists at the Bee are excited that “California test positivity is slowly trending higher” — a whopping 2% increase from the week before, if you believe the measurements.
Interestingly, the Sacramento County Public Health COVID dashboard hasn’t been updated since January 2023:
What are the Bee mask-wearers concerned about?
“The dashboard, which updates weekly on Thursdays, is showing there were 40 total hospital patients with COVID in the county as of July 22, up from 36 the day before but down from 47 on July 16.”
There are 1,572,453 residents in Sacramento County.
This is a headline in search of a story. But it is important to pay attention because those in government – elected and appointed – got a taste of authoritarianism during the COVID lockdowns, and want it back. Notably, the overall infection fatality rate of the novel coronavirus in the general population (excluding nursing homes) is about 0.1% to 0.5% in most countries, and is most closely comparable to the medium influenza pandemics, the Globe reported Tuesday. “In many Western countries, about 50% of all covid deaths occurred in nursing homes.”
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) shows this scary map:
The Bee warns everyone “to stay updated with vaccinations, avoid people who may have or have COVID, and isolate if you think or do have COVID. At medium or high levels, individuals should wear a high quality mask and get tested if they had contact with someone sick. At high levels, people are recommended to mask and avoid indoor public activities if they are at high risk of severe disease.”
NPR also warns of a new COVID surge:
“Yet another summer COVID-19 wave may have started in the U.S.”
“After roughly six, seven months of steady declines, things are starting to tick back up again,” Dr. Brendan Jackson, the CDC’s COVID-19 incident manager, tells NPR.
The amount of coronavirus being detected in wastewater, the percentage of people testing positive for the virus and the number of people seeking care for COVID-19 at emergency rooms all started increasing in early July, Jackson says.
Before they admit that overall COVID numbers are very low, NPR reports:
Hospitalizations jumped 10% to 7,109 for the week ending July 15, from 6,444 the previous week, according to the latest CDC data.
The increases vary around the country, with the virus appearing to be spreading the most in the southeast and the least in the Midwest, Jackson says.
Here is the CDC’s COVID data tracker:
The CDC map is also misleading. The largest area in yellow, coincidentally along the U.S. Mexico border in Presidio County, Texas, has 2 people recently admitted to the hospital with COVID.
While they also show COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 at 11, Presidio County has a population of 5,939.
NPR warns that older people need to stay updated on their COVID vaccines, get tested and treated if they test positive. Blah, blah, blah, blah.
And the COVID pimps are excited that there may be a COVID surge in the fall: “Some projections suggest COVID-19 could be worse than a really bad flu season this year and next, which would mean tens of thousands of people would die from COVID-19 annually.”
“It’s always a changing situation. People are becoming newly susceptible every day. People are aging into riskier age brackets. New people are being born,” says Jennifer Nuzzo, who runs the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health. “The work of protecting people from this virus will continue for as long as this virus continues to circulate on this planet, and I don’t foresee it going away for the foreseeable future.”
It seems Gov. Gavin Newsom is already prepared, clinging to his Covid protocols with his “SMARTER Plan” for future pandemics or emergencies: “Shots, masks, readiness, testing, education of school kids, Rx – Pharma solutions. ““The SMARTER Plan is not just for COVID-19. We can use these strategies and systems for future emergencies,” the Governor says.
Show your solidarity – Mask up!
Just for fun, Dr. Kavita Patel, MSNBC contributor and primary care physician in Washington D.C. says it’s time to mask up again – “Masks are your best friend.” (Washington Free Beacon posted the video)

Loved the headline: “Covid Pimps”
So true.
The biggest fear mongering hoax ever perpetrated in modern history.
Also LOVED “Covid Pimps.”
This latest scare attempt is ridiculous. No one’s buying, except for that MINUSCULE percentage who are and will always be gullible, frightened, and mask-addicted.
This so-called Ruling Class seems without a clue about the common-sense realities that your average 5 year old understands. Such as an old stale hoax that everyone is on to does not have the same effect as a fresh hoax. The 100th time an annoying pest sneaks up behind you and says “Boo!” it simply doesn’t have the same effect. DUH. Maybe our overlords need to crack open a copy of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and learn a thing or two.
In light of their utter cluelessness maybe this is a golden opportunity for sensible people everywhere to yawn in their faces with a massive, united YAWN.
You can always tell it’s a Katy Grimes’ story just by the title of the article. And that’s a good thing. Even the titles are like the contents of the articles she writes. The Truth laid bare.
No wonder her Golden Dome colleagues wanted to yank her press credential. To them The Truth is like a Cross is to Dracula.
Wow! I just learned from Jennifer Nuzzo a public health hack that new people are born every day! I guess that increases risk in her eyes! Newsflash, infants are at 0 risk. Also, “new people” in the world scares the carbon out of these charlatans!

Fear porn is alive and well my friends.
BTW, the increase in cases up ticked in July, we are in August now, the so called warnings can’t be reported on an effective timely basis because it is a virus( engineered). The news cycle cannot keep up with the movement of a mutating virus, just like a so called vaccine they will always be behind the eight ball.
I am recovering from it now. I contracted it at the end of June. It was not the sniffles and pink eye version they were warning about in June. It was the full strength version, not fun. I chose to stay far away from my doctor and hospital. I hunkered down away from others and recovered. I did not want their Paxlovid or Remdisivir.
The flu and other viruses will always be in circulation, and we as a species go on. This is a fear campaign to get more shots in arms.
Wow, Cali Girl, so sorry to hear you were ill. Whatever virus attacked you I’m glad to hear you were able to muscle through it successfully and are feeling better now.
No kidding, it’s not fun or easy to get sick in these extremely untrustworthy times.
Thank you for the sentiments @ShowandTell you are very kind.
I am doing well and so happy to treat it naturally. As we all know getting sick with a flu or virus is never fun but can be treated at home without panic.
Based on personal experience, a vitamin and supplement protocol advocated by awakened physicians like Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Stella Emmanuel was helpful that includes: hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, quercetin, zinc sulfate, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin C. A course of antibiotics, such as doxycycline or azithromycin, might help reduce the chance of secondary infections. Dr. Bryan Ardis also recommends chewing nicotine gum (2 mg) twice a day because there appears to be a connection between the symptoms and characteristics of snake venom poisoning and those of COVID.
You gotta love how nicotine has made a comeback as a protective agent against disease.
From what I understand it has traditionally been one but has dropped from the landscape in recent years.
Yes TJ good to share.
I did most of that with the exception of ivermectin and nicotine. If ivermectin was not so demonized, I would have gone to the doc for that. I took hydroxychloroquine but felt I under dosed.
Obtaining and filling prescriptions for ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine can be a challenge–especially in the SF Bay Area? We were able to obtain ours after doctor’s consultations with America’s Frontline Doctors (https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/2/how-do-i-get-covid-19-medication/) and also with Dr. Stella Immanuel (https://drstellamd.com/).
After the Sacramento Bee declared bankruptcy in 2020, wasn’t it sold to a sketchy hedge fund named Chatham Asset Management? How much control does that hedge fund have over the deep-state propaganda the Bee spews now? Maybe the COVID alarmists at the Bee need to make sure that they are fully COVID vaxxed with all boosters and wear at least two masks at all times in their safe places?
LOL
Ha, they most likely are double masked and quadruple boosted or are they as the media reports the booster uptake has sunk to new lows.🧐
Noisome and his Nazi’s are going to be very surprised when people refuse to abide by his dictates this time around. I will not comply!
Hey, we’re in the early stages of the 2024 election cycle…
Gotta fire up the propaganda machine to lock everyone down again and enforce cheat by mail voting again…
What do you mean, ‘Covid Pimps’? Do you mean like Dr. Barbara Ferrer, PhD in Social Welfare? Like the esteemed Director of the Los Angeles Department of Public Health, who has been sucking on the public teat to the tune of over a half a million dollars a year to frighten the public and to force the closure of many small businesses?
What a joke. Even on her Wikiedia page she’s wearing a mask. Which in her particular case is a marked improvement of her physical appearance.
Oh my gosh, he’s right:

I don’t want to look… I don’t want to be cast into stone….
Ha ha!
