CDC: After 10-Week Decline In COVID-19 Deaths, It May Soon No Longer Be An Epidemic
The Federalist ^ | JULY 6, 2020 | Allison Schuster

Posted on 07/06/2020 7:22:19 PM PDT by BeauBo

The United States now has so few deaths due to COVID-19 that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday it is approaching the threshold for dipping below the level of an epidemic.

The CDC defines an epidemic as an outbreak from which the number of deaths per week exceeds a given percentage of total deaths within the nation. The number of deaths from COVID-19 has steadily declined since hitting its peak in early May after it began spiking in the second week in March.

That threshold death rate for COVID-19 and other diseases such as influenza and pneumonia fluctuates, ranging typically from 5 to 7 percent at the height of flu season. The CDC said the Wuhan flu death rate had, during the last week in June, become equal to the epidemic threshold of 5.9 percent, reaching its lowest point since the end of last year.

Exactly. A new strain of the cold or flu will simply be tacked on to Covid-19 and called “Wave 2.”

The Valley sends some of them here...Coos Bay. The aforementioned facility apparently has better funding than some places. I’m on good terms with quite a few of the regulars at the lake. I see a lot of messed up behavior, though.

Don't know about the others but Tommie the Commie's Transylvania is holding steady as of today at 68%.

That is a GOLD medal of DIShonor!

Agree with the chart and your statement.

Having said that, the problem is with the MSM shrieking on a daily basis about new cases popping up in many states and ICU units in a number of states starting to be close to full.

How do we combat that crap - especially when there are such a large amount of low info voters who’ll swallow anything the MSM tells them.

To me, that’s the most aggravating part.

Yeah I hear you. The Active Case count and New Case growth are starting to flag. Not dropping yet, but slowed growth.

I think there will just come a time when the fake narrative has zero bite because there won't be any new dramatic information.

They've certainly pressed hard on the new case count ... but the problem is if deaths don't respond, then all they've done is prove how un-dangerous covid is.

But hey! Still 4 months to election. I'm sure they've got more fun planned.

It seems this would be a good precedent for a wave of lawsuits challenging the legitimacy of the restrictions that have been put in place of its no longer an epidemic

Yeah. In my opinion ... well I live on the coast. And when the tide comes in ... you can put a bunch of stakes in the cove to try to block it ... but the tide comes in and the tide goes out.

If you look at the death curve you can not correlate it to any action that's been taken. It's the curve of an infection running through a population, with adjustments for the fact that there are lots of small and large infections that started at different times throughout the US. You certainly can't say with any confidence that any curve was flattened. For that, you'd need something to compare it to. MAYBE you compare a little bit to Sweden, but is the fact that they were on average 25% or so higher than us due to anything they did? Other Euro nations were higher than they were, others lower.

We put a few stakes in the cove. Not only did we do that, but the CDC and WHO and Fauci, even as the tide had passed the not-very-experts said "No over here! No over there! No! A wider stake! No! A thicker stake! No! No stake! More stakes! Fewer stakes! Tall stakes! Short Stakes! Curved Stakes! Blue Stakes! And the tide came in. And the tide went out. It went no higher, nor lower, nor slower, nor faster ... than any other tide. It went right around the stakes. Didn't even notice them.

It came in on a smooth curve a little quickly, and it left just as smoothly and a litter more slowly. Just like an epidemic curve.

“...Not if the corrupt MSM can help it. They need this panic to keep going....”

Yep. The left paid darn good taxpayer money to the CCP for that virus, and by George, they’re gonna get their money’s worth out of it no matter what.

In Santa Clara County we were at 139 CCP-19 deaths.

Nine weeks later we are now at 161

That is a hell a long time to get there, particularly when you had ominous threats that it wold more than 2,500 dead by now.

I swear they gave some 3rd grader an honorary PHD, a coloring book and a box of crayons to create these “projections”

They sounded wildly off then and they just look plain stew pet...

Now they are trying to say the hospital beds are full with Covid “Cases”

I called it three months ago when I said they would move from infection to “Cases” to make it sound more active, which it isn’t

Come in for a broken hip, test positive for CCP-19 and you are now classified as a “CCP-19 Hospitalization”, even though you may be completely asymptomatic and may never present a single symptom.

Alameda County: 138 deaths. A grand total of 11 cases (not deaths) in my zip code. Heaviest concentration around the Oakland Airport/Jingletown.

Hospitals get more money for a Covid diagnosis then a broken hip.

Positive tests mean nothing.Hospitalizations are noteworthy.ICU admissions are quite noteworthy.And deaths are obviously very,very noteworthy indeed.Rat Party Headquarters wants Americans to believe that every positive test is an unspeakable tragedy when,in fact,only a minute percentage of them will prove to be tragedies.

Ooops...they forgot the Governor of another one of the highest death rate states...Massachusetts.Governor Charlie Baker (also known locally as Tall Deval) is a Trump hating RINO who's directly responsible for the carnage in two Massachusetts Soldiers' Homes...in Holyoke (western Massachusetts) and Chelsea (near Boston).

And,of course,he's blaming Trump...but that's what Rats and RINOs do so we shouldn't be surprised.

he also tweeted:

The average age of people contracting COVID-19 has fallen by 15 years over the past few weeks.

Anyone telling you that the protests did not contribute to an uptick in cases is not being intellectually honest.

within 24 hours of making that official, it’ll be a nation-wide golden calf worship orgy like in the old movie “The Ten Commandments”.
