Media goes from Deaths to Case Panic
Vanity | 6/26/2020 | Self

Posted on 06/26/2020 7:48:18 AM PDT by CptnObvious

Notice how the Media has gone from "Deaths" to Covid Case panics. This is because the Deaths curve has definitely flattened and gone down a bit. And now that 2% population testing is kicking in we are seeing folks who test positive but show no symptoms. These are now called "Cases".

This will be bad for the media unless the "Cases" translates into deaths soon. But my wife who has worked as an ER nurse dealing with Covid cases says this:

"We've gone down from 200 Covid beds to 30 and the new cases we are seeing are mild." When I asked about Treatments, she said that the treatments are working and they soon send them home.

I think the Media has a busted flush IMHO.

95 to 98% of which are mild or asymptomatic.

Yesterday New Jersey announced that they'd gone through death records going back to March and identified people that died of other things and were never positive for COVID but they 'probably' had it. Because ... reasons. So they added 1,700+ new deaths to the numbers. Those are clearly lies. There was no testing, they were not known to be COVID positive, and they have an official cause of death that it NOT COVID but they juiced the numbers up with them anyway.

Why? Because if cases go up and deaths do not, it shows that cases aren't that important. So fudge the death numbers. Look for other states to re-evaluate past deaths and begin pumping the numbers up so they can keep on to their dictator powers, justify mail in voting, and keep lockdowns going to crater the economy ahead of the election.

Is this uptick in cases what developing herd immunity looks like?

Great report.

We are being had, and starting today I’m required to wear a mask in Wa State. I refuse, shoot me.

Live free or die.

The communist libs have waaaayyyy overplayed their hand.
This is all they have left, and it ain’t much.
They overplayed it so much that just voting cannot overcome the damage done. They’re royally screwed but just don’t know it yet.

Sounds more likely that the virus has mutated towards greater survivability. When a virus is highly lethal, it cannot sustain itself because the infected people die quickly and are unable to spread it. The less virulent strains last longer because they are spread among more people.

The shutdown worked...it gave the medical community time to come up with remedies and to prepare doctors and hospitals for covid patients. Mission accomplished. We flattened the curve and saved millions from dying.

Good post. The declining deaths as the 7 day rolling average of deaths continually declines to historical lows each day during this escalating period of historically high new daily covid cases escalating tells the story that the severity and potency of the virus may be waning that you won’t see in media narratives trying to drum up panic again.

Re: “And now that 2% population testing is kicking in we are seeing folks who test positive but show no symptoms.”

Not sure I know what that means.

According to Johns Hopkins, we have performed 29.2 million tests.

That is a fraction below 9% of the USA population.

No one is sure if that number includes antibody testing, or not. In fact, no one seems to know how many antibody tests have actually been done.

Yesterday, the CDC estimated that between 5% and 8% of the USA population has been infected.

Since 8.3% of the USA 29.2 million tests are positive, I think the CDC is low balling its total infection estimate.

Why? Because when the number of infected people goes up, the Case Fatality Rate goes down.

In at least four European cities and New York state, the total population infection rate is between 11% and 15%.

If the USA is tracking in that same range, that means the COVID-19 fatality rate is very close to our influenza fatality rate.

Masks will be required nationwide within days.

Hopefully the states that were late to hit high case levels will peak and decline in cases very quickly.

Panic will increase until cases decline. Two neighbors just stopped by to pick up some we got for them, both are wearing masks. Disgusting. Less than 18 total cases in this county, most have already recovered.

Re: Mandatory masking

I live in King County, but I am not as brave as you are.

I bought a box of 10 masks at QFC yesterday.

When I got home, I discovered the freaking masks were manufactured in China!

So, China is punching me in the face, and Governor Inslee is kicking me in the rear end!

Over a month ago my friend, a doc at a Long Island hospital told me the new covid admissions were coming in far less sick than in April and early May and most were being discharged in 2-3 days.

And, the media is going so by blaming deaths caused by protests it had no problem with on states allowing businesses and churches to re-open.

In the Coachella Valley, the low desert area of Riverside County, the number of Covid patients at the local hospitals has been increasing and is about three times the number of a few weeks ago. The question is where are many of those patients coming from. The answer is Mexico which is doing little to prevent spread of the virus.

Mexicans with the virus are crossing the border into Imperial County but the county is sparsely settled, and the local medical facilities cannot handle the load. So, patients are being transported to the Coachella Valley which borders Imperial County on the north. The net result is that the Coachella Valley is showing a spike in hospitalized Covid patients. This may result in either the county or the governor calling a pause or even a reversal in the business recovery process.

Not sure I know what that means

No congestion, no fever, no sniffles, no temperature. IE: No Symptoms yet test positive in antibody tests. These are being called "cases".

Also there was a push to get States to test at least 2% of the population. These stats are now coming in and guess what? They show more people have been exposed than were recorded in the past (DUH!).

Unless these new "Cases" result in more deaths, the panic pushers will have more egg on their faces (DOH!).

The corrupt media is all a flutter over a 1/2 degree temperature rise computer climate modeled prediction 100 years from now.
The chinese virus death prediction was also a computer model which was 99.9% wrong so they move the goal posts again.
