Full Osterholm: ‘The Surge Could Sustain Itself For Another 4 to 6 Weeks’
Great guest. Why was Chuck Todd talking?
6 weeks , and then flu season starts.
Influenza doesn’t matter (even though it’s killed more children than
Covid). Only Covid matters.
@James Phillip my personal opinion with no data, is we had a normal flu season last year with the usual 30 million cases, but the covid tests couldn’t tell difference.
Vogmask N95 compatible.
Cambridge mask N99 compatible, British military standard filtration.
ASTM Level 3 medical procedure mask.
Tri-lambs and Omega moo’s
Wait so the vaccine doesn’t work 😂😂😂
Not all kids can be vaccinated
I bet most school districts are fully remote by Labor Day.
It sucks, but this is our reality :/
Covid-19 is a government & central bankster conspiracy they created in a lab in order to control the timeline of the inevitable collapse of the dollar so they can rollout their CBDC (Fedcoin) and perfect our slavery.
Try 90-120 days STOP LIEING
Once the 4th Wave of Delta..then Comes Super DELTA BETA…FALL WINTER LOOKING BAD
8-12 Weeks
Wait til Sept Oct Nov Dec…Delta Mutations on the Horizon
It’s Gonna take at least another 3 -4 Months to get Alot of Americans Vaccinated
4-6 Weeks is a Conservative Estimate..more liken8 -12 Weeks..it will take that Long for the Morons to Get Vaccinated
Gee i think I remember during briefings by fauci that cloth mask were better than nothing and save the n95 masks for medical personnel. Why would it take this long for someone to mention we should all be using them all this time. We close schools when kids were not in danger of getting it and hardly passing it, now we open schools and demask them in school now that the virus is more dangerous for the kids. Iceland has 70 percent of the population vaccinated and delta is still being passed around. Its been said we would need a 90 to 100 percent vaccinated to get immunity which also needs to happen around the world for this to stop. Good luck with that.
MATH+ …nobody has to die. Be your own advocate
How many DEATHS???!!! Why won’t you report death numbers and related it/compare it to what it would be like vs the Flu??? I suspect very seriously that you aren’t reporting death numbers because they won’t fit the narrative the media is pushing. Data cited by Gov DeSantis in Florida show that schools with vs without mask mandates had no statistical difference in the spread of the virus. Which is ‘why’ he banned the mask mandate. Yet, for some reason the media won’t report THAT part of WHY the Governors have banned the mandate! The media are LYING to the public folks. They aren’t giving a full view of the data, numbers and who are affected by the virus statistically.
Gio nay con tin loi hua cua TONG THONG My ?
Again, on the “children” topic they touched on in this interview. They have not given any NUMBERS/DATA on child infection rates and their odds of hospitalization and death. WHY NOT? What are you hiding NBC? What is your motive for the lack of full information so the public can know the degree of the problem? I think yet again, you aren’t showing the NUMBERS because you can’t scare people with tiny numbers that don’t fit the fear narrative!
You wouldn’t mask your kids if you went to the CDC site yourself and collected all that data from the MMWR. Who are you kidding?
Osterholm is a walrus. He doesn’t know what’s going on. He’s just pulling numbers out of his butt, like always. Absolutely useless.
Fear mongers. Seek Jesus, He defeated fear on the cross for us.
He ain’t doing so hot on the SARS COV-2 pandemic. Who do I see about that?
@Susan Kay Jesus does great on everything, He is in control if you allow Him, why does folks always blame God for everything bad, why not blame the author of confusion, the devil. If you know Jesus you don’t worry about death because you will never die, your body will be the only thing laying in the ground. Your soul lives forever.
I seen bigfoot, he didn’t have a mask on.
Hold your tongue and think before blaming others.
Homeboy trying to hide his alopecia
I love Olsterholm, but the cigarette test is not accurate. N95s don’t block smoke smell, only carbon filters remove the smell.
A common misinterpretation seems to be that a certain variant needs to come from a pre-existing source. A virus variant basically just means a gene or two in the virus’s DNA has changed, and that can happen completely at random each time a virus reproduces. Every new case is one more chance for the virus to mutate and evolve. Just because your area has no delta variant today is no guarantee it will not appear, especially if local community transmission is left unchecked.
First they blamed China, then non maskers, then non vaxxers, now the children. Wtf? Just go back to quarantine and just let the vaccinated maskers work while the kids get home schooled or get virtual learning.
Why dont you people believe in rights. I personally will not have a government or the media try to tell me how to think. Act or behave in a country I was born and raised in. Take a look at France today. For me no more taking my freedom. I have zero respect for these people in the media telling me to how to act, speak or live my life.
This delta virus is so infectious i don’t think that 6 ft social distancing is good enough nor is removing your mask indoors when “away”from people
Masks don’t work no proof they do work i have never wore one nor will i
Public is confused by all the spin … good gracious
I need the third dose!!!
1:22 a large rate of infections throughout the South?
They All had the sniffles and a few days later their immune system was bolstered and that’s a good thing
They never mention that
The more people that get infected and recover is a good thing we’ve been doing it for thousands of years but now they got of force this vaccine on us
Pfizer pharmaceutical has made 34 billion dollars
Lies lies lies lies lies
We are anonymous we are legion
We do not forget
We do not forgive
Expect us
You tyrants will be executed for crimes against humanity
Mr. Todd, this surge will be around for more than 6 weeks due to the new India Variant called Delta-Plus (K417N) which is stronger than the Delta Variant and is spreading rapidly in India. Think about it.
This guy buys his masks on Amazon…first problem. However, make sure you get your third jabs! The CDC is completely legitimate and we take them seriously so I’m sure it’s gonna be the last jab they mandate
Sarcasm?
M R 👍 How some people take any advice from these government “medical experts” is beyond me
How about the surge could sustain itself for another 4 to 6 YEARS! That’s why the need for a $2,000 a month UBI that all of our so-called leaders are dragging their feet on. Something the American people need right this very moment, like yesterday!
Masks, once again Osterholm is the Expert at letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Yes, N95 is the ideal (or KN95), but please – wear a mask.
Why I live rural fully vaccinated? Our county has 3 new cases a week..sorry no go
I rather wear masks instead of trying to look cool without.
Let’s have masked class rooms and unmasked class rooms in schools, with separate entry ways. This way the parents can have their infection parties at school which they then own.
Good idea!!!
I hear you doctor. Loud and clear.
[puts on NIOSH approved n95 mask]
I’m going to Walmart. Wish me luck.
Good luck. At least here in Oklahoma dark is falling & that’s when the really weird Walmart people come out. I know because I’ve often shopped at this time.
If the country split right now the “”pandemic”” would be over in the red states.
Yeah… especially at the border.
Um, KN95 does NOT mean an N95 for kids. KN95 is the Chinese respirator standard roughly equivalent to the US N95 standard. Why can’t you buy N95s? Because the US sucks at manufacturing, that’s why.
Lalapalooza 2021: vaccines or negative test was required.
383,000 attendees and only infections (203)
——- wonder how many ppl from Sturgis(no masks) are infected/on death’s doorstep?
Libertarian here, we make our own choices, Darwin Effect. Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas have no vaccine or masks mandates, your choice. Do Not Ask For Federal Assistance to bail out your healthcare mess. You can build your house on a swamp, but don’t ask me to help with your wet basement.
Yet San Diego county has no mask mandate. Just liberal biased divisiveness
He said people are getting infected outdoors. It’s not the virus, it’s the vaccine.
Osterholm keeps being proved right.
This virus is going to last at least another ³ years.
What happened to 2 weeks to slow the curve man we were hoodwinked heard a plastic bag over your head and a rubber band around your neck is covid resistant Fauci needs to test that
Close the schools and boarders and solve the problem
Osterholm has been wrong about EVERYTHING.
I don’t think you need n95 for general public. You need to be fitted and tested to wear n95 effectively. Many won’t tolerate the tight fitting it requires. For everyday general activities, regular masks will do fine.
yeah with all the vaccinated people running around INFECTING everyone
Unvaccinated doesn’t mean you are infected, when you are vaccinated you absolutely have the virus and can spread it….. Fauci confirmed this.
Nobody even uses N-95 anymore. I love my 50 pack of N-9501+ I always wear it. Even around my family.
Probably because the cost adds up.
Paranoid much??
@Blake D yes, the pandemic has made me super paranoid.
What wave are we on?
The able centimeter modestly lick because growth lily unfasten pro a puny prosecution. expensive, instinctive vise
Is this the same Michael Osterholm who wrote Living Terrors: What America Needs to Know to Survive the Coming Bioterrorist Catastrophe?
Osterholm has doesn’t know what he’s talking about he’s reading from the notes the DICTATORSHIP gave him, all hail the DICTATORSHIP.
Biden, close the border, talibanes here
My China mask couldn’t stop the California smoke, but it works for China virus
Don’t argue with these commenter. They are bots. Either paid for by China or the DNC. They aren’t real. They are used to give the illusion that most people are on the side of the DNC/communists. They are in fact the minority. Don’t fall for it
If your unvaccinated you should be good with a PPP suit. For the people who got vaccinated you will just need an isolation gown and a gas mask. Problem solved send out the mandate!
“Diaper for your chin.” Someone’s a fan of South Park. 😂
We need mash units for unvaccinated. . Its a capacity issue. We still need hospitals for other things.
I promise it’s like the powers that be want chaos and violence in the streets. None of what’s going on in this serious pandemic makes any sense at all. It’s so absurd what’s going on like America is being pranked
Republican’s like Marginalized Traitor Greene, Rancid Paul, Crud “Kremlin” Cruz, Rotten DeSatan, “Bag-and-Tag” Abbot, and Krist NotMe are putting their state’s children on the sacrificial alter for their own political ambitions. Just how sick is that?
In a sane America—-one where a third of the population wasn’t programmed into a mindless, fascist Republican cult—-we would have universal Covid-19 vaccine passports, masks and social distancing required wherever and whenever deemed necessary by public health officials, and mandatory vaccinations for all those able to receive it. Actually, in a sane America, none of that would be necessary, because everyone able would be voluntarily getting vaccinated, and everybody would be faithfully following CDC guidelines like wearing masks and socially distancing. They would be doing so because it is in there own best interest; because it is the moral and ethical thing to do to protect our fellow citizens; because we need to prevent the creation of new, more deadly variants; because it is the best way to recover the economy; because it is the best way to get things back to normal; because it is the civic, patriotic thing to do; and because it is just plain old-fashioned common sense.
Republican morons don’t want to trust vaccines, but will risk possible permanent injury or death, will trust experimental treatments like monoclonal antibodies and unproven drugs with unknown and known potentially severe and deadly side affects? C’mon, man!
Really don’t see how it’s possible for Republicans to be any more stupid, selfish, and short-sighted. But, somehow, they manage to always find a way!
These comments are hysterical. Literally, hysterical.
Time for on line teaching for unvaccinated students…
Glad I wear a mask every day I never let my guard down 61 Strong immune system. Been hearing about side effects from vaccines anywhere
Not us
Land of the free
Home of the stupid. Why is America so far behind the world.
The more you say…the less we believe.
George bush crying at home now usa flag 🇱🇷 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 hahahahaha 🤣🤣
Wrong. Delta won’t level off until spring next year. It’ll grow stronger in fall and winter.
Scam me once shame on you, scam me twice shame on me!
Sniffers? I always breathe harder.
Don’t forget that the CDC on May 1st stopped collecting data on the Vaccinated infections.. COMPLETE SCAM ON THE IDIOTS OF THIS WORLD!
Joe Biden was suppose to fix all of this………I guess a Trump 2nd term wouldn’t have change anything. Joe Biden is worthless
LoL yeah chin diaper masking 4:20 is pretty much useless. Then 90 million 5:38 arent or cant get vaccinated
Eventually we will get over the biggest hurdle but its gonna cost lives & overwhelm hospitals. Even after a few lives are lost certainly those people didnt want their lifespan cut short.
The JL- 38 mask is the best
I suggest watching other interviews he has done on covid. He’s been spot on from the get-go. Refreshing to hear from someone who knows what they’re talking about.

FYI,
Is the Delta variance responsible for all increased hospitalizations?

I’m Pro-Choice.
50% + people in hospitals are vaccinated.

If they want us to use the N95 or other mask why doesn’t insurance pay for them.
Being in Healthcare i can tell you only N95 WORKS BUT IF YOU GET ONE IT HAS TO BE FITTED FOR YOU PUT IT ON AND LET SOMEONE BLOW SMOKE IN YOUR FACE IF YOU SMELL IT THEN IT’S NOT WORKING KID’S CANOT WEAR MASK NOT N95 IT WILL CAUSE THEIR LUNGS TO SET UP INFECTION
