“terrifying levels” of cases ... says all you need to know about the state of fear and the level of ignorance of many, many Americans who remain scared out of their minds over these germs.
‘but its dishonest to say its plateauing or dropping right now.’
is this where we all retire to our basements, and throw away the keys...?
DUH!!!
Cases up by magnitudes, deaths down = actual death rate/mortality rate is a fraction of what we have been told.
# of cases is IRRELEVANT as most are asymptomatic, only DEATHS are relevant.
MEDIA LIES. GOVERNMENT LIES.
What else is new?
But still rising...........when they HAD been falling. Not a good change in direction.
No doubt whatsoever. With almost useless massive testing, we have learned one thing; the virus is much more pervasive than anyone imagined. Thus, most peeps have already been exposed.
"Cases" will continue to rise and panic, but that's a function of politics.
We must continue to expose the fraud.
The numbers we have are not perfect, but they’re what we have. It’s what’s being reported by hospitals and shared up the chain. Whatever errors exist within those numbers, it will take quite a while to sort them out. For Influenza deaths, it usually takes 2 years to go from preliminary estimates to final numbers, and even those are a range due to lack of testing.
I agree the case numbers are rising much faster, but we’re also doing more testing than ever and catching a lot of the mild and asymptomatic cases we would have missed previously. Tests have gone from ~130 per 100,000 people on June 1st to around 212 per 100,000 people today (https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america).
I also think treatments have improved a lot and we’re probably saving a lot of people who would have died back in April. However, there’s also a lag between an increase in infections and an increase in deaths. On average, it’s about 14 days, but there’s a range from 6-41 days depending on the indiviual(https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/).
Looking at the case counts graph, the 7-day moving average for cases began a sustained shift up around June 18-20. That would suggest we should see deaths begin to increase somewhere around July 2-4. That gets a little fuzzy with poor reporting around the July 4th holiday, but by July 7th, we see the current jump in death counts.
Deaths lag infections by 2-3 weeks. The rate will rapidly increase.
No, I think this is where we take another look at efforts to ensure social distancing is happening, hand washing, and so on while we go about our lives in the safest way we can to slow the spread without crashing the economy (again).
That means maybe take a break from massive riots and protests and block parties where thousands and tens of thousands of people are jammed in together spreading this thing like wildfire.
Please note the amazing research resource this guy published on Twitter:
Because democrat governors have already killed as many vulnerable old people in nursing homes as they could get away with, and it’s getting harder and harder to categorize other deaths as “COVID-19” deaths, now that people are paying more attention.
Plandemic.

Careful with the truth. You will probably get slammed on FR as well as the NYT and MSM.
You are spot on, of course, with your comment. I hope you are right about the "California, Texas, Florida and Arizona" bit and wonder if we can confirm that this uptick is due to people coming in from Mexico to get better treatment in the U.S. This could be American citizens as well as those from Mexico and South with a legal right to re-enter the U.S.
If you have any additional info on that subject, you should post it. It should be a hot topic. It isn't, at least not yet. If it is true it would be a powerful argument against the continued political driven (my opinion) lockdowns.
Better management of the early deterioration phase of the disease.
The Democrats need the virus to end. It no longer helps them. If college students dont get back to campus, the Election is over. Those robotic campus votes are their base now.
And thats with them calling all deaths COVID
The question I always ask everybody is do you personally know anybody who has had this disease and or been hospitalized ?
nobody I know has answered yes yet
They cant fake deaths but they can call natural death or death from something else Covid
I base at least 50% of the Covid deaths to be of other causes
Yes I agree. Should be at least 3 times a week.
You seem to forget that we were locked down before, and that we did the lockdown to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed. We werent going to be able to stay hidden in our homes forever. When they said flatten the curve what they meant was that we would be EXTENDING the time this virus would last in the population. The number of cases would still be the same. You cant stop a virus from doing its job until you hit herd immunity. People will get sick and some of those people will die. This is to be expected.
What we were hoping for is that by locking down, it would buy us some time to learn about this virus. Id say thats happening. More infections is to be expected. Its how viruses work. Then they will peter out once herd immunity is reached. They wont have as many new bodies to infect. Once we get to herd immunity, or a vaccine, this virus, like all viruses, will not be such a threat. Its barely a threat now. Theres just a lot of hype about it. Once this election happens in November, we wont hear anything about it, especially if Biden is selected.
Yes they deliberately want to public to focus on “cases”. I had some guy tell me it will be a million dead by the end of 2021.
