Death rates are not dropping and are actually in the rise. This rate is a leading indicator. We do have better treatment and if we can keep this away from the vulnerable, you might have a chance at keeping a low death rate but a lot of people want to ignore public health measures.

I should have said, this rate is not a leading indicator.

Well, since the majority of people that are ACTUALLY diagnosed with it are told to go home, rest, drink fluids and take Tylenol, if they’re feeling bad, overcome it at a 99% rate, it’s really hard to see where the “deadly cliff” is.

Others will take the hydroxychloroquinine concoction and be fine.

Before this author and the sheep that will believe every part of the article goes further, maybe they can investigate reports of people who were NOT tested and received news that their results came back as being positive for the virus.

“Transmissions even appear to be rising in New York City.”


But Cuomo gets high approval ratings for handling the virus (most deaths in U.S.), and PDJT gets low ratings. Go figure.

And if they gave WuHu Positive folks the Hydroxy Trifecta on first symptoms, instead of locking it all away and pushing the Gilead poison, 90% of the “cases” wouldn’t even get the Panda Sniffles.

But the Sky is Falling, so put on your worthless blue mask, horde your toilet paper, shut down your businesses, and lock away all the school kids.

The lying sack of shite Dr Doom Commands it!

Half the population gets their news from the MSM and are thoroughly brainwashed. Don’t forget more than six thousand covid 19 nursing homes deaths are attributed directly to dictator el duce Cuomo,

“The coronavirus is spreading at ever-faster rates in a broad array of states, putting the U.S. on the precipice of an explosion of illness that threatens to overwhelm the nation’s health care system.”

So are these cases really that serious or are a bunch of Millennials that that it cool to join in the BLM “protests” now getting mild cases of COVID-19 and demanding to be put in the hospital so they can get the care they “deserve”?

How much of this is even true though? How to get anywhere near close to any truth? The tests do not answer the correct questions. Positive doesn’t tell you if you have THIS coronavirus or if you will have any symptoms of illness. Negative doesn’t tell you for sure that you don’t have covid. You can have every symptom but test negative.

Who is in the ICU? Are patients in ICU for non covid things counted here? Same with hospitalizations. Are all the people finally getting needed surgeries counted?

How many people are truly ill with covid? How many are slightly ill like with a cold, but tested positive and must now with their entire households quarantine?

It’s a nasty flu and deadly for some, but I don’t see a clear way to get ACTUAL MEANINGFUL STATS. The media all go for any stat that scares people.

Not in my state.

Infection rates are almost doubled to about 500 a day (from around 300) but death rates are down to the single digits.

The only curve being flattened is economic growth.

WHAT THE HELL DID PEOPLE EXPECT?...FOR THE VIRUS TO JUST DISSAPPEAR?

closing down for 2 weeks might have been a good move....get things ready, etc....but if we had allowed the US to get back to normal, people would have caught the virus, gotten over it, at least almost all, and we'd be sitting pretty right now....

but no....we just kept people in their cages so the leftists could continue the asinine lock downs and fear mongering and vote fraud and the handing out of money to friends....

we vulnerable have a choice..which is good....there was however no reason to make everyone else suffer for our fear..

Most people want to live their life. You need to get up dictatorial attitudes.

It is all about sympathetic rhetoric, not actions or results. Cuomo's avuncular, calm rhetoric won him many fans.
