New Mexico's daily totals are now above some much more heavily populated states. Locally police have placed a car at an intersection to keep cars lined up for testing from blocking and moving ahead of those already in line.

Lots of rumors out here - I heard last night is that if you had a flu shot, you will get a positive covid-19 test - no way to now the veracity of such a claim. Most of those I know and work with say they won't get tested because if you're positive you have to stay home for 14 days and lose pay from work even if no symptoms. Most know the symptoms and will take precautions. Already in lockdown in NM. I'm single and have been invited to Thanksgiving with a farm family and relatives in a remote location miles from the nearest town. They dare any LEO to come and tell them to disperse!

NYS’s stats are crap.

Bet NM’s are, too...

I want to know definitively how many have died OF COVID vs. WITH COVID. This info is purposely being kept from all of us.

“But state officials described him as a male 12 or younger from Bernalillo County. He had been hospitalized and had an underlying health condition of some kind.”

Sprained ankle? Acne? Appendicitis? Asthma? Leukemia? Cardiac arrhythmia? Might that matter?

[Harpotoo]

If they could post a pic of him/her/what ever the hell they think they are now you’d see its either a black kid with cillalcell or a fat kid or just a very sick kid to begin with!

Looks like the lockdowns are not working. The solution, obviously, is to double down on the worthless lockdowns. Because twice nothing is better than nothing. That’s just common core.

One of the covid 28 fell into a covid elevator shaft in an abandoned covid building and landed on some covid bullets. Cause of death: covid.

Stay safe, Dave...and just remember to save a bullet for yourself! ;)

My Aunt lives in NM and Mom & Sis were just out there to bury my Uncle (her husband) after he had died back in February - of Pancreatic Cancer, NOT Wuhan Flu.

No one attending has come down with anything - and it was a HUGE funeral with people flying and driving in from many different states; my Uncle was much loved. :)

What does “related” mean?

I have soooo much confidence in the govt these days!

In this testing, does it distinguish between covid or the flu?

Does it for example say...good news, bad news.... you don’t have Covid, but you do have the flu?

Why do I feel that anyone with a seasonal cold/flu is being counted as a covid case...and guess what, here it is November....middle of the season for that....

Lots of rumors out here - I heard last night is that if you had a flu shot, you will get a positive covid-19 test - no way to now the veracity of such a claim.

I got my flu shot about two weeks ago. My doctor mentioned the shingles vaccine, but said now is not a good time for that one because it causes a slight fever which could cause one to be quarantined if a temperature monitor detects a high reading.

[pepsi_junkie]

Based on the fact that flu has magically disappeared this year I am assuming that if you have the flu you test positive for COVID.

New Mexico is heavily Hispanic, and one of the highest correlations to covid transmission is households of greater than 6 people. Hispanics have lots of multi-generational households.

The most cases in my county (in CA) are found in the city with the highest percentage of Hispanics (also there’s an Indian casino in that city and apparently they are exempt from all of our tyrannical governor’s edicts).

[JennysCool]

The state reported 28 fatalities related to the virus

"Related to" is pretty vague. There are lots of diseases "related to" COVID-19.

The gaslighting continues.

“He had been hospitalized and had an underlying health condition of some kind.”

In other words he didn’t die of Covid-19.

Some folks are absolutely nuts out there. Daughter in Albuquerque has 5 kids, playing in their own very large backyard and neighbor yelled at them for not wearing masks. A three year old without a mask on. The horrors.

[SmokingJoe]

Still posting fake coronavirus death figures are we?
The elections are over.

Karen please stop push this hoax. The Plandemic is over. It’s all political now. I don’t believe any of these 28 deaths were attributed to only COVID. We are being lied to all the time now. Believe NOTHING except in God and Trump.
