FLOYD-19
We need to be walking around in rubber boots, not masks, the bullschtein is piled so high
Dear Hill and MSM,
Not shutting down again.
Go back to writing glow pieces about BLM.
But we are not shutting down.
So so so sorry.
Yes, most new cases are border and migrant related
Soros propaganda speweed out by the Hill.
Drama. I U. ed’s at &0% is not a normal. How many are covid patients?
Ok Karen, the death rate was over 2,000 per day in early spring.
“The GOAL is HERD IMMUNITY — just like regular flu and the common cold.“
What is the evidence for the existence of what you are calling “herd immunity” for any human coronavirus?
WHAT surge? The FAKE, phony, made up, manipulated data surge?
THAT surge?
Corruption runs rampant in today’s society. The “truth” is getting harder and harder to find.
Example of Herd Immunity.... Various flu seasons have higher impact to younger folks vice older folks who had already developed natural immunity because of getting similar flu years ago — when they were young.

Let’s not forget the nationwide “surge” was triggered by weeks and weeks of rioting and looting backed by the “progressives” in violation of social distancing mandates.
deaths per number of confirmed cases
You have to measure today’s deaths against cases from 2-3 weeks ago, since it takes 2-3 weeks to die from COVID after once being infected.
2250. The 7 day moving average is back up to 723 now. But for reference, the flu death rate peaks about 1000 a day in a bad flu year. We need to accept the fact of the virus causing some deaths but fewer now that a lot of the vulnerable people in nursing homes have gotten it, and most have gotten over it.
About 10 days between new cases and deaths across the US.
I would love to see all these people in prison. They are still throwing a temper tantrum because they didn’t cheat enough to win last time.
This was exactly what “flattening the curve” was sold asy time for the medical system to prepare.
I had a strange conversation at the state store (PA Liquor Store). They had a sign saying, “Please pay with credit card or debit card....”. I had cash, so I asked if cash was Ok. She said, “yes, we still have some cash. The Wawa (convenience store) across the street is running low, though”. I said, “pardon me???” She said that this cash shortage is coming down straight from Harrisburg. I did a search on this issue, but didn’t find anything. Does anyone know anything about this? Is this just until COVID is over?
high level math:....the more people who get the virus, the less people will get the virus...
Your unsubstantiated statement appears to be wrong:
Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 6.9% during week 26 to 5.5% during week 27, representing the eleventh week of a declining percentage of deaths due to PIC. The percentage is currently below the epidemic threshold but will likely change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks.- https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html
And simply citing "death rates" is misleading since it fails to differentiate btwn different fatality rates, which has to do with lethality relative to the infection rates, but one reason for the all-ages general “shutdown” is because the fatality rate is exaggerated by typically citing the case fatality rate (CFR) - which is high since it refers to those who were known or suspected to be infected and died, and overall, those who have tested positive are those who had symptoms, thus were the most likely to die - but as World Meters states[1],
The key point is that the “case fatality rate”, the most commonly discussed measure of the risk of dying What we want to know isn’t the case fatality rate: it’s the infection fatality rate.
The latter refers to those estimated to be infected but not tested as being so, and which by far is the majority, with about 80% of such not having symptoms or recovering without medical care. [2] And as regards (even) New York City - which is an extreme case, WorldMeters stated that of May 1,
the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) = Deaths / Cases = 23,430 / 1,694,781 = 1.4% (1.4% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 have a fatal outcome, while 98.6% recover).
However, and even more accurate figure as regards the threat COVID-19 poses is that of the Crude Mortality Rate (CMR) that of deaths per 100,000, and Worldometers stated that
As of May 1, 23,430 people are estimated to have died out of a total population of 8,398,748 in New York City. This corresponds to a 0.28% crude mortality rate to date, or 279 deaths per 100,000 population, or 1 death every 358 people.
Then you have the Mortality Rate by Age, regarding which,
“in New York City up to May 12, only 690 (4.5% of all deaths) occurred in patients under the age of 65 who did not have an underlying medical condition.” While those under 65-year-old had a 0.09% CMR to date.
So far there has been 1 death every 1,166 people under 65 years old (compared to 1 death every 358 people in the general population). And 89% of the times, the person who died had one or more underlying medical conditions.
And as noted, NYC is an outlier, with a far higher rate of infections, much due to population density and the harmful pratice of sending infected persons to nursing homes. And close to half of all COVID-19 deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities, especially elder care facilities which account for over 40% of US deaths. [3] [4]
Which means that the 99.4 percent of the country that does not reside in those facilities is roughly half as likely to die of COVID-19,[8] even to the fatality rate of COVID-19 probably being “0.13 percent for people outside nursing homes and 0.26 percent — identical to the CDC best estimate — when people in nursing homes were included.”[5]
See Does COVID-19 truly warrant a nationwide shutdown? for more.
The second reason for the unprecedented reaction to COVID-19 is that of the Democrat political goal to strangle the economy and thereby obtain the White House and force submission to its many immoral demonic and murderous goals.
