Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator, said the US is in a “new phase” of the pandemic – with the outbreak more widespread than when it first swept across the US, according to a report.

“What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread. It’s into the rural as equal urban areas,” Birx said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

She urged Americans to follow public health recommendations, including wearing a mask and practicing social distancing.

People are going about their lives and infections are rising. People in nursing homes and with co-morbidities need to protect themselves.

Great! Herd immunity around the corner for a disease that > 99% of people have mild or self limited disease

So I guess we can finally get back to normal in about 70 days just like Italy did

The new phase is called “We need to effect the presidential election with more of this BS”! Isn’t that right Dr. “Deep State” Birx?

Imagine a wildfire with a strong wind with plenty of dry wood. We are the dry wood. Masks are not going to stop a wildfire.

Because all the people who would have contracted the disease and gotten over it were in lockdown.

The “new phase” is those people finally getting it when they should have gotten it and gotten over it by now.

I’d like to know what it is about this illness that makes it so much more fear inducing than previous viruses. There is a variable here that hasn’t been defined.

Sweden’s seven-day rolling average of daily new deaths has been mostly declining since as far back as April 16, when the average was at 99. The average dropped to two on August 2, according to Worldometer.

We're not. Trump is tweeting how it has happened in many countries and the lamestream media is just not reporting that to make him look bad.

Mr. President: THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE! Please FIRE Fauci and Birx and get some REAL DOCTORS to help you manage this.

No shxt Sherlock. Of course there’s more and that’s what happens every flu season.

Using that logic just stop testing and you won’t see an increase in cases. (sarc for those who didn’t get it)

:: the only country in the world with a new “phase” ::

Because, the spread will be in Phases.
Birx and Fauci said so about 5 months back at a presser.
It was guesswork.
It wasn’t SWAG
It wasn’t speculation
It wasn’t prescience
It wasn’t even a prediction.

IT
WAS
PLANNED

AND, announced.

Its a new phase because its being planted. None of this, from day one last Dec-Jan is an accident. The controllers of the epidemic are stepping it up.

I should have thought of that! I can’t tell you how fed up I’m getting with all this malarky.
