With Elkhart County now in the Red zone on the COVID map, the county’s health department is telling residents to be aware their holiday gatherings could turn into super spreader events.

Health Department officials say it’s unfortunate that 60 percent of residents are unvaccinated and are likely to spread the virus.

They say high-risk individuals who are unvaccinated should consider masking up or avoiding large gatherings altogether.

They also warn that some local employers are reporting the highest number of infections since the start of the pandemic, hospitals are reporting beds rapidly filling up with COVID patients and elective surgeries are, once again, being canceled on a weekly basis.

It’s the.flu, no the hospitals are not filling up with people this is a lie . You deep staters are desperate for money and control. These health departments are just as corrupt as the cdc so give me a break it’s all a lie it’s the flu . Quit using those stupid test.

Does anyone listen to these political doctors any more? Give it a rest. We all know you are LYING about Covid, its cause, the cure, and the vaccine that isn’t a vaccine. And the suspect testing and protocols you demand. Now Darth Fauci wants babies to get the failing vaccine. Do we really know what three or more of these shots will do to a baby/infant not to mention teens and adults? Didn’t think so. Go away and leave us alone. None of your demands have done anything to abate the virus. It is all political smoke and mirrors. Most of all it’s blatant TYRANNY!! If mask work why aren’t they working. If the “vaccine” works why isn’t it working?? Maybe if you would be honest we would listen again. But not until. Do you suppose we are incapable of doing our own research despite the cancelling of contrary voices by social and big media? You are all in the clutches of Big Pharma and their main cheerleader Darth Fauci. Let’s go Brandon!

Listening to these “officials” lie about COVID reminds me of listening to sleazy used car salesmen on the budget lot… Only a fool would trust anything they have to say.

There is a wall down south. Let’s move all the vaccinated to the other side. Just away in general. So they can live a better life, and not along the dirty spreaders.
