Main points: 1) U.S. is on the verge of achieving "herd immunity." Most of the article uses data to make this argument. 2) New York ALREADY has herd immunity. 3) Only 4 deaths of children 15 and younger. 4) Much of the fabled "second wave" can be attributed to protests. Not to be missed for humor is the 2 minute video at bottom of the article, where a city council gets schooled.

The left can always hope for Polar Vortex - August Edition or Magnetic Pole Flip - September Edition or Yellowstone Eruption - October Edition BUT Trump-Nami November - Edition is getting more and more probable😉‼️

You're welcome...

I wish you were right but you can’t use data ending in June to make your case. As of July 15, there has been an uptick in deaths that started (suspiciously and suddenly) about July 6.

We can’t deny the data. It shows an uptick in deaths. But if the data is being fudged we need too understand how. It would not shock me to find out that it is but we need some proof.

This is correct. We were warned over and over that the daily death toll would spike because of "opening up".

Nope. The daily death toll has been decreasing steadily for two months now, at a rate of 21 fewer deaths each day (on average). This number is highly statistically significant (p<0.0001).

The case mortality rate has been similarly decreasing steadily for two months now, with NO spike.

Notice, however, that the news media never report these facts, because they don't fit the narrative.

In order to support the most important political objectives of the DNC writ large in the 2020 election, COVID-19 hype is essential: ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot easily achieve ‘mail-in’ voting; which they desperately need in key battleground states in order to control the outcome. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot shut down rallies and political campaigning efforts of President Trump; which they desperate need to do in key battleground states. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot block the campaign contrast between an energetic President Trump and a physically tenuous, mentally compromised, challenger. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats do not have an excuse for cancelling the DNC convention in Milwaukee; thereby blocking Team Bernie Sanders from visible opposition while protecting candidate gibberish from himself. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats do not have a mechanism to keep voters isolated from each-other; limiting communication and national debate adverse to their interests. COVID-19 panic pushes the national conversation into the digital space where Big Tech controls every element of the conversation. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot keep their Blue state economies easily shut-down and continue to block U.S. economic growth. All thriving economies are against the political interests of Democrats. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot easily keep club candidate Joe Biden sealed in the basement; where the electorate is not exposed to visible signs of his dementia. ♦Without COVID-19 panic it becomes more difficult for Big Tech to censor voices that would outline the fraud and scheme. With COVID-19 panic they have a better method and an excuse. ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot advance, influence, or organize their preferred presidential debate format, a ‘virtual presidential debate’ series. [Comrade Gretchen Whitmer knows this plan, hence she cancelled the Michigan venue] All of these, and more, strategic outcomes are based on the manufactured weaponization of the COVID-19 virus to achieve a larger political objective. There is ZERO benefit to anyone other than Democrats for the overwhelming hype surrounding COVID-19. It is not coincidental that all corporate media are all-in to facilitate the demanded fear that Democrats need in order to achieve their objectives. Thus there is an alignment of all big government institutions and multinationals to support the same. Nothing is coincidental. Everything is political.

Great article thanks! I love the bottom line:

“Fear is a powerful weapon. FDR famously broadcast to Americans in 1933 that “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself”. I would argue that we have to fear those who would have us remain fearful and servile and willing to surrender basic freedoms without justification.”

It is well past time that we recognized "the virus" for what it is - just another failed liberal promise like global warming, green energy, social justice ... etc, etc.

Single target positives mean if you have picked up any related coronavirus and not COVID 19, you are still diagnosed with it, even if your COVID 19 specific marker is negative. The fda changed that lil money maker first week of April.

Sweden... assiduously protecting its elder care homes,

Covid-19 is a true pandemic among concentrations of the elderly and those with co-morbidities. COVID-19 is a true problem for those who work with these vulnerables.

Covid-19 is not a pandemic for most the the others.

The problem is that the LEFT and those indoctrinated by our colleges honestly believe that true democracy requires a one-size-fits-all solution with the only exceptions being one-size-fits-all for demographic groups such as white men, Black women, etc.

The first week of January, the news from China was that it targeted the elderly and those with co-morbidities. That is the only thing about the disease that has never flip-flopped.

In the US, operators of Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, State Regulators, Departments of Public Health, even in Red States, all seemed to think like they had been taught in college....One-size-fits-all.

They should have narrow focused on the vulnerable.

Everyone should give the whole article a read if possible. From the article. Covid19 herd immunity is at 10-20%.

One of the most vocal members of the scientific community discussing COVID-19’s HIT is Stanford’s Nobel-laureate Dr. Michael Levitt. Back on May 4, he gave this great interview to the Stanford Daily where he advocated for Sweden’s approach of letting COVID-19 spread naturally through the community until you arrive at HIT. He stated:

Stanford’s Nobel-Laureate Dr. Michael Levitt
“If Sweden stops at about 5,000 or 6,000 deaths, we will know that they’ve reached herd immunity, and we didn’t need to do any kind of lockdown. My own feeling is that it will probably stop because of herd immunity. COVID is serious, it’s at least a serious flu. But it’s not going to destroy humanity as people thought.”

Guess what? That’s exactly what happened. As of today, 7 weeks after his prediction, Sweden has 5,280 deaths. In this graph, you can see that deaths in Sweden PEAKED when the HIT was halfway to its peak (roughly 7.3%) and by the time the virus hit 14% it was nearly extinguished.

How could Dr. Levitt have predicted the death range for Sweden so perfectly 7 weeks ago? Because he had a pretty solid idea of what the HIT would be.
