The only “spike” is in numbers from testing...and the fact Trump is going to start rallies again...lol.

[tennmountainman]

More testing means more cases.
But that does not indicate a second wave.
BLM protest good
Orange Man protest bad.
It’s not about health, it’s about politics.
Orange Man bad politics.

They are HOPING for more deaths to blame Trump! So much FREE TESTING all over now, but people aren’t hospitalized!<P.MORE COUP PLOTTERS CRAP!

[dhs12345]

That is a common statistical mistake. Increased measurement doesn’t mean more actual cases. Those cases existed before but weren’t being counted.

[60Gunner]

My hospital has tested nearly 5,000 patients with 61 positives. No fatalities. 1400 employees tested, 51 positive. This is since we began testing in February. We have not seen an upsurge in patient visits since the protests began.

The CDC, government, and media are fill of crap.

News here in Ohio is breathlessly reporting a spike in new cases. But a simple check on Ohio's website shows that yesterday we had 434 with a 21 day average of 429. 24 deaths yesterday with a 21 day average of 28. 59 hospitalizations yesterday with a 21 day average of 68. 8 ICU admissions yesterday with a 21 day average of 16.

6/16 - 434
6/15 - 428
6/14 - 300
6/13 - 424
6/12 - 420
6/11 - 429
6/10 - 413
6/09 - 325
6/08 - 361
6/07 - 365
6/06 - 353
6/05 - 476
6/04 - 490
6/03 - 442
6/02 - 366
6/01 - 471

This is out of a population of 11.69 million.

But hey, the media reports a spike and that's enough for people to buy in. The media is corrupt. The media is the enemy.

The chart below shows that overall, deaths are clearly declining, although there is a weekly cycle where Sundays seem to result in relatively low death counts

I suppose Our Lord takes a break on Sundays.

They need to be focusing on nursing home problems and let the rest of us live our lives and make decisions as we see fit.

No one I know believes the damn media any more.

I recently saw an article on CNN about the dangerous spike of Covid in Florida. I checked out the article, against my better judgment. No mention of the locale. No mention of what constituted the spike. No mention of the symptoms or the severity of the illness. In other words, the reportage was incompetent.

I guess Montgomery Alabama is at 90 percent capacity. However hospitals across the state have said they have room if necessary. Problem is media only discusses first part.

[napscoordinator]

People HAVE to believe their eyes seeing all those protesters on top of themselves and know the new positives are mostly from them. They have too. I know 17 ladies went to a bar in Jacksonville and caught it but to me that a “one off”.

[SaxxonWoods]

Still waiting for Wave one to end.

The latest uptick is in states that were slow to take off early. Now they are going through the same progression the early states already passed through.

Looking at the cases, hospitalizations, and deaths makes this all evident.

These late states were successful in flattening the curve, but that just makes the curve lower at first and longer later. The area under the curve doesn’t change, just it’s shape.

[jmacusa]

Not in the hospital I work in(southern NJ.) We’re seeing a gradual decrease. We saw fairly large numbers in the last two weeks of March and the first two weeks in April. Then it dropped off. There was a smaller spike in the first two weeks in May and then it dropped off again. It hasn’t spiked upward, not that I’ve been made aware.

My ob is to clean and sanitize the place. Our department has been working it’s tail on and off during all this. Myself and two other people on my shift were exposed to Covid. I tested ‘’positve-aysmptomatic’’ and had to stay home for a week, so did one other woman. A third woman has been going through hell on Earth with it but she’s hanging on.

bttt

[Black Agnes]

It’s all about saving social security.

[Big Red Badger]

It’s all BS.

[goodnesswins]

My MD, who also has an MA? in Epidemiology says the same. (” CDC, government, and media are fill of crap.”)

[oil_dude]

Oh look, deaths are cut in half on the weekends!/s
