How low do they have to drop before Trump fires Fauci and starts calling out all of the B.S.?

Expect another wave of riots and protests just to keep the virus active and keep people scared.

The drop is significant, the trend is your friend, unless you are a hateful Democrat.

Cases are not a metric you go by unless you are tracking herd immunity. Deaths are what matters yet Insee that little stat being buried as it is getting harder and harder to influence it.

Absolutely. Positive cases are in direct proportion to number of people tested.

Deaths and hospitalization is what we need.

If you're negative, you should be tested for anti-bodies. But that likely doesn't fit their agenda.

And they should get numbers on people who already take HCQ for Lupus or whatever they're taking it for. Do these folks have a bit more immunity. But they don't want you to know that stat.

Deaths are dropping significantly across the country. Even states that lagged the Northeast like CA, AZ and FL are beginning to see the dropoff. In another month, when the campaign heats up, Trump will have a good decreasing trend to point to during the debates with slo joe.

I wouldn’t say buried. The media was all too happy to welcome Texas to the 10,000 club this week.

Confirmed cases, a leading indicator is really dropping in Texas and we can see the death figures beginning to drop as well. The trend is our friend.

Not necessarily. When the virus peaked here, we had a 30% positivity rate with several himdred-thousand actual cases when only a few hundred to thousand were tested. Hospitalizatioms and deaths.woild follow in proportion to those nimbers. Once the virus ran largely abated, we had less than 3% positive and only tens of positives even though several thousands were tested per day.

So if cases are accurately being reported as dropping and testing remains high, that’s an improvement.

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

Because coronavirus has been repeatedly blamed for deaths caused by cancer, heart disease, motorcycle accidents, and every other cause under the sun... in this fraudulant environment... the only measure that really is meaningful is the total number of deaths in the country. According to the CDC deaths from all causes peaked on April 18 and declined to approximately the normal rate a month later. The numbers of total deaths have changed very little since that time. The media hype since that time has largely been intended to keep people alarmed.

The chart takes a bit of time to load depending on your connection speed, change Covid-19 Deaths to Total Deaths in the box just above the graph.

Can’t believe any of this data. It’s full of false positives, false death attributions, and false disease diagnoses. Example of the latter was posted earlier on Fakebook today: a women who had knee pain was, abracadabra, “suspected” of having COVID-19. Voila, another hospitalization! ALL BULLCRAP. Don’t believe ANY of it.
