1) these are cases not deaths, even though deaths lag, they are not rising as fast as new cases-even backing it to the new cases 6-8 weeks ago. Yesterday there were 545 new deaths. 7 day average (because they don’t report many on Sat or Sunday) is still not rising to the increase 6-8 weeks ago. We are testing almost 1 million every two days. int h past this is how we got heard immunity.
2) If you look at the cities or counties with with ongoing protest you will find a correlation between new cases. e.g. In CA LA County is about 3 x times the population of next door Orange County Population. But it has 10x the number of new cases that orange County does.
LA County is over 60% people of color and tens of thousands have been out protesting, masks or not masks-just saw one Saturday.
3) You can’t have 8 million people, many without masks, making contact, out protesting and not expect a rise in cases. When a thousand health care workers signed a petition saying that despite virus the protest must go on, it made
mute any other references to wear masks and contain it. This sanctioning of protest sent the clear message that if protesting is ok then other things must be ok.
I can tell you did not understand what President Trump was saying today. If you reread what I sent you, you would understand that the daily deaths have been reduced significantly because of the greater understanding of the virus, how to care for the patients and the new treatments (remdesivir and a new steroid--dexamethasone). You got the reason for the increase correct. That has hardly been mentioned by the media--Fox included.
