Where? Seriously you stress way too much about this. The 7 day average is what it was in early March.
I seriously worry more about hospitalizations and deaths at this point. I really am not that worked up over ups and downs in actual case numbers.

You know what's funny?
Do you intentionally torture yourself?
Nationally, cases have been slowly rising since pretty much the beginning of April...as expected. 7 day average low was about 28K at the beginning of the month. Now we are around 53K.
Hospitalization low was 10K. We are now at 11K. But people in the ICU have actually decreased.

They are talking about this on television right this very second.
COVID cases rise across bulk of the U.S.
COVID cases are on the rise in all but six states and Washington, D.C. as the Omicron subvariant continues to spread across the U.S.

COVID-19 infections once again on the rise in Florida
The state’s positivity rate has also climbed to 8 percent. Is the new variant called BA.2.12.1 responsible?
Massachusetts COVID cases jump 51%, virus hospitalizations increase
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s report of 2,807 cases was up 51% from last Wednesday’s total of 1,853 infections.
www.bostonherald.com
COVID-19 hospitalizations up in 45 states
COVID-19 hospitalizations are up 20 percent nationwide over the last 14 days, with 45 states and Washington, D. C. , reporting an increase.
Local seven-day COVID-19 totals climbing; Cambria adds 17 cases
Cambria and Somerset counties saw seven-day COVID-19 case totals inch up again last week, state Department of Health figures show.
Number of High-Risk US COVID Counties Doubles in Week, and More Than 1/2 Are in NY: CDC
Just 40 of America’s more than 3,200 counties are considered high transmission areas by the CDC, the health agency said Tuesday. That’s 1.2%. Great news, right? Depends on how — and from where — you look at it. That 40 county number is more than double the number of high COVID impact counties...

Seriously. Yes, they are slowly rising but not OH MY GOD! Rising at all to me. Honestly I am a middle ground person here and I am tired of the sky is falling for every up or whatever. Again I care more about hospitalizations and deaths. Look at the graphs. ICUs are down still. Deaths are down. Ups and downs in cases when honestly we are not seeing a massive increase in hospitalizations are really not hugely concerning to me.

How delightful for you not to be concerned, but the post in question was that "CASES ARE REALLY CLIMBING" - and whether or not you care, cases do happen to be really climbing.
I agree. I am done with this pandemic. Besides, we’re in a better phase now. In fact, I’ve heard Fauci says we’re out of the pandemic phase. And we’re not going back to square one like that horrible crappy 2020! 2020 sucks!

Can you knock of the rude please? Maybe you forgot but I actually do care about covid and probably did more to help people deal with it than the average poster here did. So I don't appreciate your attitude.
Cases are not really climbing!!!!!! That's my point. Climbing and really climbing are not even remotely the same thing. And don't even try to say a 50% over the course of weeks increase is huge. 50% of a small number is still a small number.
When cases we see are also asymptomatic or pretty much no symptoms at all, even the CDC says not to worry. If our medical centers aren't stressed, we shouldn't be. Most of the US is still very green or yellow which is good.

I am not saying I'm done, I just cannot be worried over cases increasing when severity is not matching. I am more than willing compared to some to do what is needed when needed. There comes a point when I cannot stress about every bump up and down. Even omicron surge wasn't near as catastrophic as before. At some point we have to be realistic about severity and adjust from there. EVen the CDC has.

I'll say it again being this stressed over a vacation isn't healthy. Stop looking at daily and keep on the hospitalization levels and such that the CDC does. Though WDW isn't even following that. They dropped long before the CDC said it was "safe"

What's rude? Me posting some inconvenient truths? Thanks for proving what I said above - that you're not allowed to post inconvenient truths on here or people will have a total freak out. I'm really sick and tired of all the self-proclaimed epidemiologists on here who keep twisting what is actually happening in the world into a little happy walk through Fantasyland. This has been going on since DAY ONE. Again, whether you like it or not, or care or not, cases are really climbing, That is a fact. You can dispute it as many times as you want, but that does not change what is happening in the world right now.

You know what's funny?
You're right. You shouldn't bother. Most of us are living our lives, understanding that there are still going to be bumps here and there. You want to panic about hospitalizations bumping from 10K to 11K in a 3 week period, while ICU hospitalizations have decreased, be my guest. Go lock yourself away again and waste any good years you may have left but don't expect the rest of us to do so.They are talking about this on television right this very second.

If I knew what their plan of action was I’d relax a little. But they guard their decision making process like KFC guards their 7 herb and spices recipe

your assumption that I don't care. That's an assumption that is 100% and rude as all get out. Seriously read your post. You are demeaning and condescending. You are labeling me as an anti-covid person because I am being middle road and honestly I am sick to death of the labeling here. There is a lot of gray in this mess and I try to sort through it all.
So again, stop being so rude. You are 100% wrong about me and I think attacking people because of false assumptions is beyond uncool to do.
For the record cases are climbing yes, never said otherwise. Really climbing? Nope not seeing it in any of the charts I look at. Maybe in some regions but not across the board or anything specific we can figure out.

Assume a lot, don't you? I'm not locking myself anywhere. I'm back in the office and I have been in Broadway theatres and restaurants five times a week for the past month. That doesn't mean that the inconvenient truths that I posted above are not true.

No one is being rude. No one is making an assumption. You said above that you are not concerned - several times. No one labelled you as anything so you can stop putting words in my mouth.
