The headlines are filled with dire warnings of a “second wave” and trigger-happy Governors are rolling back regulations to try to stem the tide of new cases. But, is any of it actually true and should we all be worried? No, it’s not a second wave.
The COVID-19 virus is on its final legs, and while I have filled this post with graphs to prove everything I just said, this is really the only graph you need to see, it’s the CDC’s data, over time, of deaths from COVID-19 here in the U.S., and the trend line is unmistakable:

LEFTIST MEDIA CAUSES CANCER - CASES EXPLODING ...

If this article is on the mark, the virus will have spent itself in weeks. We are approaching herd immunity according to the data. Then what?

Murder hornets, bubonic from CHINA, Covid19 G4, whatever else can be pumped in the media to keep consumers of mass media fearporn cowering in their residences waiting for next command from gov on high to survive the next BIG SCARE.
Must keep ‘em cowering at home to get 100% mail-in selection votes.
One symptomatic COVID case leading to 19 asymptomatic cases that never would have been logged weeks ago when there wasn't contact tracing?
Good question.

media and pols won’t give up the virus card
minorities don’t give up the race card
women don’t give up the vagina card
these people won’r give up the virus card
they love their cards too much to give them up
Just think if they all had worn the magic masks!

Wow, great article! Have to read the whole thing later.
a money quote from the article:
‘Now perhaps you see why the increasing number of cases, and even deaths, due to COVID-19 is fraught with misinterpretation and is NOT in any way a measure of the ACTUAL morbidity and mortality FROM COVID-19. My patients who insist upon wearing masks, gloves and social distancing are citing these misleading statistics as justification for their decisions (and, of course, that they are following the “CDC guidelines”). I simply advise them, “COVID-19 is NOT in the atmosphere around us; it resides in the respiratory tracts of infected individuals and can only be transmitted to others by sick, infected persons after prolonged contact with others”.’
I advise all here to send the link to this piece to everyone on their contact list and ask them to do the same.
The more who see this the greater the probability nthe media will be forced to address this.

Yes, I look at the data daily and new deaths continues its decline. Counting “cases” is ripe for inaccuracy.
Cases is not the right metric. Hospitalizations, ICU usage, deaths, and positivity rates are more useful and predictive. The objective is to manage the virus not eradicate it. We live with the seasonal flu. CDC estimates 36 million people get it every year and receive no medical treatment. We test about 3 million people a year for the flu. We have tested almost 40 million people for the virus.

Yes just common sense, but that seemed to fly out the window in March. I am sure there are hundreds of thousands with COVID symptoms minor enough they don’t know it.
True, but not the whole story. The virus has also run out of people to kill in NYC. As the author explains earlier in the article, a lot of people had some natural immunity. That includes people in their 80's and 90's in nursing homes. They were exposed and survived (in some cases with no symptoms at all). Cuomo put his most vulnerable population in harm's way, and an overloaded medical system caused needless deaths. But that's over now.
Latest increase in cases started about June 26th, and with the “time from hospital admission until a fatality” for COVOD-19 being from 5-25 days (the median time is 18 days) today’s increase in fatalities is right on schedule. The 3-day holiday weekend also slowed the county health dept. reporting (usual for a weekend). Tomorrow and Thursday’s casualty count will tell a lot about demographics (younger crowd now) vs. death rate.
COVID is struggling to pass the 1957-1958 flu pandemic numbers, so will probably end up as “#3 all time influenza pandemic in the USA”....waaaaay behind the 1918 pandemic.

Very helpful and hopeful article. I’m emailing it to a nervous friend.
