I actually watched ABC Morning News today just to see what they were saying, and boy, the world is in dire shape with a truely delusional leader in charge. People take that stuff seriously.

I'm definitely seeing that push now. The media just says everything is a disaster, everything is falling apart, it's never been so bad before, and it's all Trump's fault.

And I guess some people hear that and say, "If you say so."

you have to find the banned.video to watch this report, but documents are pictured in the following.

wanted to post as the claim is “CONTACTS” are being counted as positives too:

30 Jun: Infowars: Plannedemic Bombshell! CDC Inflating COVID Infection Rates At Least 16 Times
Federal order counts probable cases as confirmed
In another segment of the video, the epidemiologist went over a diagram showing how one “confirmed” COVID case who had contact with sixteen individuals would be counted as a total of 17 COVID cases by the CDC under the new “probable case definition.”...

He went on to describe how people with minor symptoms will now be counted as actual COVID cases, saying, “If you have a subjective fever and you have a headache, and you live in Collin County, you now meet the qualifications to be a probable COVID patient. It is remarkable how low the standard is now.”
“If you have one of the major symptoms, you have a cough or you have shortness of breathe, and you live in Collin County, then you can satisfy the definition for a probable COVID case,” he noted. “But I’m very concerned that we absolutely could see the numbers jump very rapidly in a way that is actually not indicative of what we’re seeing here in the community in the Public Health Department.”

The definition for COVID deaths was also updated, as Sauri told the Collin County Commissioners Court, “previously, prior to this definition, it was only if you had a positive PCR result that you would be counted as someone who died related to COVID-19. But now, lab testing is no longer required to be counted towards that.”...

The basketball player and the scarf queen say we may need to shut down again. Do they favor the DNC marxists? You know the answer.

Fake News by omission. They are reporting the big rises in cases. They aren't reporting that President Trump has made America the leading nation in testing. They also aren't reporting that, despite the rising numbers of positive tests, the death rate continues to drop.

The divergence is the real story, and it's a good news story, hence they are hiding it. Pure fear mongering.

Since Trump becoming President it has been one orchestrating effort to demean him or outright get him removed.
Shows you how far the dems are willing to go to regain/maintain power. And how little the Republicans are unwilling to resist the dem’s efforts. Almost as if fortunes of Republicans are being made to do nothing.

I cant help but think what would the stats be for the COMMON FLU if there were no vaccine and we tested everybody during flu season. What would the case numbers look like? deaths? The demographics for mortality? Folks of course its fake news.

Maybe the FBI, who likes to launch a thirty-man SWAT team to vanquish a 70 year old defenseless man or engage a fifteen-man team to chase down a noose in a garage, can send in a team to Texas and audit these numbers. It is not quite as difficult or dramatic.

The narrative is no longer “flattening the curve” , because we’ve already won that battle. They know that and are trying to shift the narrative to “oh but the cases” . Note the timing of the CDC expanding their list of symptoms (last week) to include innocuous things like “runny nose” . They have also added a new case category “probable case” ... which is if you merely KNOW anyone who has had the virus, you are now a case. All this conveniently follows weeks of riots, where 20-30 somethings spread the infection.

The high muckey-mucks in the medical field are inflating the situation for their own monetary gain.

And the politicians then reinstate unnecessary lockdowns which adversely impact regular folks’ finances.

That’s not right !!!!!

As a side note to this thread, consider this.

Conservative friends are arguing that pandemic will end day after “Orange Man Bad” PDJT is reelected.

I think we’ve been dragged through weaponized, election year pandemic all because elite, lawless Democrats who broke law trying to keep PDJT out of Oval Office don’t want to go to jail.

In other words, desperate Democrats want Biden to win rigged election and drop investigations.

Insights welcome.

Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.

Yes. A lot more positive tests, nationwide, the number of hospitalizations and deaths are very low, falling.

My hope is that Trump is just waiting for the ratio to get so overwhelming that the argument for mitigation can't possibly be supported any longer.

The rapidly proliferating testing is showing up just how widespread the Chinese virus already is and has been for months. There is no rise in the number of hospitalizations due to CCPV. The numbers of deaths from CCPV is steadily declining still. The large numbers of ICU admissions that is, indeed, spiking is due to the pent-up demand for heart and cancer treatments that have been delayed because they were declared nonessential and only some of them died waiting for treatment. Right here the ICUs got suddenly filled up and the news on TV was breathlessly reporting the explosion of Virus but truth is we had a number of car wrecks over a few days with lots of badly injured motorists and passengers.
