99 shot, 12 fatally, over Father’s Day weekend in Chicago
Huge increase in south portends Second Wave of COVID
How many deaths?
Number of cases up and number of deaths down. I have a theory about things that may be causing this disconnect:
1. They are being more careful about determining what is a CV19 death and what is a death from something else and the corpse just happens to test positive for the virus.
2. More people are taking the HCQ and other treatments, causing a “case” to not become a “death”.
3. They are testing a lot more people.
4. A Case remains a case long after the person has recovered and gone about their business.
I’ve said for months that the case count is irrelevant and the death count is what matters - and that a lot of these deaths aer not CV19 deaths. The only person I personally know that was a CV19 death was 62, died of pneumonia and bronchitis - which he acquired before CV19 even became a thing - but tested positive for CV19.
I look at the numbers and consider this thing over. Even the “reckless” events where people did not social distance didn’t cause any spike in deaths.
If you don’t live in NY or NJ, this thing was never a thing, but we shut down the economy anyway and caused huge rioting.
And we are in the eye of the storm, followed by the economic side. It’s gonna get bumpy.
I’ve read about the ‘second wave,’ consensus says it’s still the first wave. We knew this would happen when healthy people were quarantined and released.
