Ah, so mass testing is pointless. Thank you, Tariq.

I pointed that out on a thread a couple of days ago. This is evidence that we’re just wasting time with mass testing.

My sister who just had a swab jammed up her nose this week will be mollified.

She said it burned, but advised her lady friends that it wasn’t much worse than an annual gyn visit.

Noticed they are using total deaths, not per capita deaths.

So here you are on this side with a neat little graph. Here’s a little tip. Coincidence does not demonstrate causality. Of course you missed thst day in medical school and statistical analysis

When you look at the numbers, as per Worldometer, in the last week new deaths peaked at 260 on Apr 23 and dropped to a low of 99 on the 26th and have been either on a dropping or small increasing trend day to day. New cases are on downward trend and are well outpaced by new recoveries and the peak for new cases was way back near the end of March, very early April. I do not need to wallow through a crap article that likely gives a very fraudulent narrative compared to the actual numbers.

I believe you mean correlation, not coincidence.

I believe you are correct. I am on my stupid phone and let it autofill.
Additionally I just checked the German numbers. I don’t see a surge. What is the source of the info for surge

Well Germany was under a strict lockdown. Unlike America where we are under “stay at home” directive. If we did a true lockdown, we would probably see less than half of what we’re seeing right now but that’s just postponing the inevitable.

I hope this news breaking on the wires might help with all of this (Hmmm ... Might have to watch the US government task force briefing today).

So what you're saying, Germany, is that until you attain herd immunity, this is what happens when you come out of lockdown.

Sweden could have told you that, morons.

I would think it would be hard to get a surge in cased and deaths in a few days from loosening the restrictions.
