Remember “14 days to slow the spread?” When social distancing began in earnest in March, political leaders encouraged Americans to stay home, avoid crowds, and minimize their exposure in order to prevent hospitals from getting overwhelmed. Coronavirus hospitalization data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that early social distancing measures worked. Hospitalization rates peaked in early April, even in hotspots like California and New York. Other conditions used to justify the original lockdowns have also not held steady.
So why is so much of America still in one phase or another of lockdown? There are good reasons and there are not-so-good reasons.
First, the data. Justin Hart, a San Diego-area digital strategist, ran the numbers at the CDC’s Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) project.
“While our leaders fret and our hospitals furlough – the EID COVID-19 numbers are out and they show that the overall hospitalization rates peaked OVER A MONTH AGO on the week of April 5th,” Hart tweeted with a graph showing the trend for New York and California.
“Note also the massive differences between New York and California overall per week. Given what you can see with your own 2 eyes here does the rhetoric of your leaders and media reflect this? Or do they STILL push an unrelenting, massive, existential threat from [COVID-19]?” he asked.

Recent studies have found that far more people than expected have COVID-19 antibodies — meaning the virus has spread faster than previously thought, but also proving that it is far less deadly than previously thought.
Given how the virus spreads, it was likely already in the United States by January. It’s also unlikely that tens of millions of Americans haven’t been exposed to it already.
No, there are NO good reasons to continue our imprisonment. This is pure tyranny.
CDC and the media have scared half the country to death...

Have a good friend who is a doc at Huntington Hospital. Told me on Tuesday that the hospital’s current fatalities are those who have been in ICU since April and the families had recently consented to turning off life support. In addition he told me the hospital’s new COVID admissions are nowhere near as sick as those admitted in March and April. His brother, a doc at Stony Brook told him a similar story. They feel the virus may be weakening.
Look - none of this makes any difference now If you pay any attention at all and we’re following the coronavirus news, it says you will know that we want this thing on April 16.
Why? Because that is the first conference in which Fauci and Birx did not appear
Trump was very confident and knew that we had this thing beat at that point
if you study these things, and their typical Gaussian curves of a few months - all of them - every virus that’s ever happened in history-
You could’ve easily predicted what is happening
That being said , history will properly note that because this was an unknown and awful virus that had hundreds of times more transmissibility then people knew at the time ( dec-Jan)
And that the incredible effort that the government made to get the word out and then distribute supplies and give support was the reason why we were able to conquer this thing within 30 days
And therefore I’m going to say that at least for the United States these coronavirus maps and charts and everything like that are just very predictable and actually boring at this point
What is interesting to watch his two things
one - the progress of this virus around the world
Two - the Democrat governors and mayors versus America and freedom
Don’t listen to any of the Karen’s !!!! or their supporters in the media !!!
America has not changed !!!!’
we’re not gonna all start wearing masks !!!
everything is going back to normal, just like the president says
And because this is America - it’s going to happen very very quickly you watch
