CDC chief Dr. Redfield says coronavirus deaths could start to fall next week
CNBC ^ | 8/20/2020 | Will Fuerer

Daily new cases of the coronavirus have been on a sustained decline since the end of July, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Deaths, which lag behind new cases as people fall ill, become hospitalized and die, have remained stubbornly high, at roughly 1,000 new Covid-19 deaths per day, on average, according to a CNBC analysis of Hopkins data. “I think we’re going to start to see a decline in mortality across the country now next week as we continue to get control of these cases,” Director of the CDC Dr. Robert Redfield said Thursday.

By the time the election comes around, we will be approaching herd immunity. Maybe 500 deaths per day from the virus.

Once they restarted the shut-downs the daily cases declined, and three weeks later the deaths start to slow down, too. Funny coincidence, I guess.

Death rates, not deaths. Death rates, not deaths!

Dead people do not normally become undead, so how can deaths fall? (I know, I know, with leftists anything is possible.)

They think Biden is going to win.

Watch, if Trump wins or his numbers go way up, the virus will be in a second or third breakout.

At this point, the virus has been so politicized, who the hell knows what the truth is.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see case counts peaked 3 weeks ago and that they went on a 6 week climb. Deaths have been on a six week climb, so, it's over.

Also it's ridiculous to call the second U.S. hump a new surge in the same country. The US is huge geographically.

I could pick two countries in Europe who got hit at different times, superimpose their charts and say 'see look Europe had a second hit'.

Not So.

Everywhere north gets hit once and the temperate countries/areas MAY see a more plateaued or slight double hump pattern, which happens to be how influenza behaves.

Other factors will mess a little with those general shapes but ...

Lockdowns and masks have done nothing significant ... like putting out beach chairs to stop the tide. To the extent they have done anything they may have delayed the deaths of some people and maybe some will escape if the dang thing really burns out before their TCell compromised systems get hit.

Fraud fraud fraud everywhere. Yes a seed of truth, yes an actual nasty-ish flu, and a certain amount death and sickness. But everything ABOUT that seed - the statistics, prognostications, opinions, reporting ... fraud. Even with so much visible fraud, it's impossible to tell yet how much of the seed itself is fraud - I will say much of it. That is, something has occurred. Beyond that ... who knows.

Those numbers could have started to fall in late APRIL, if we hadn’t fallen victim to the scamdemic crap blasting out of Fauci and his criminal cohorts.
DJT was sucked in, too. But, once he found his sea-legs, he know enough to not sink the damn boat by shooting at Fauci.
NOW, though? Go for it! We need to stop this silly crap. Open up the country. Sadly, the governors are more in control, at this point.
And, all those little Napoleon wannabe’s are not ready to give up their new found power.

Yes, I look most every day. I mainly watch my locale because different states are on different ‘virus schedules’. It’s interesting to watch states move up and down the case/death columns as they all go through their own similar cycles with different starting and ending points.

Seems like practically no one here realizes that.
