During the night, we crossed the threshold for the definition of a WHO, Phase 6 global pandemic. This has not happened in any of our lifetimes so far. We are in uncharted territory.
He is saying based on the description of what 6 is rather than the actual phase? Because the actual phase is still at 5.
I absolutely believe the counts are low because of the bottle neck testing. Up until today, all confirmed cases had to come from CDC testing. That takes a lot of time. Kits have been sent to all State Health Depts so we should see a spike in confirmed cases as backlogs clear.
Yesterday, the CDC doc was asked about the cause of death for the flu. That it, the reporter wanted to know what actually kills you. He refused to answer the question. Why? He was then asked what actually killed the little kid in Texas. He again refused.
I saw this posted 3 or 4 days ago. The notion that "crossed the threshold" and ought to be at 6 loses credibility each day when we remain at 5.
