More than 77,000 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded in the US on Thursday alone — setting a new record for daily infections, statistics show.

Thursday’s numbers — 77,640 new cases — eclipsed the previous record set on July 29, when 75,723 new cases were reported, according to a tally by NBC News.

A total of 921 coronavirus-related deaths were also reported on Thursday.

Nobody believes these numbers are real.....

Can you imagine the numbers by the first of November? In person voting may be deemed too dangerous.

Big whoop.

If the people who are processing the tests with no patient info other than a random number do the counting, every positive test is counted.

Is it because we aren’t really in to flu season yet? And because flu cases typically tick way up in November?

You are mistaken. Plenty do, and worse they have bought into the thinking that cases are the new deaths. That is, rising cases is the standard, not deaths or hositalizations.

It's now a casedemic, that's all they have. Ask yourself this: of all these celebrities and politicians and athletes who have tested positive (gasp! alert the media!): have any of them at all had any lasting consequences, much less died from this since August? I mean the people who are not in their 80s. This is why when they said the ACB announcement in the Rose Garden was a superspreader event my immediate response was 'all those old white politicians and bureauocrats are going to be just fine'. And they all were. But the media and dems (same thing) got more fear porn out of it, mission accomplished.

I know 2 people that had it. Both had recoveries not unlike the common flu.

That’s the point of this whole deal. Make people afraid to go vote in person.

I VOTED EARLY IN PERSON YESTERDAY (Florida), AND THE LINES WERE LONG!................................

And every new flu case is being called Covid.

Borrowing a tinfoil hat for just a moment...

...are the Dems above sending superspreaders into certain select areas, just before the election, in order to manufacture a fear-based "issue"?

Not sayin' it's what I believe (I'm not inclined to), just wondering if such a horrible tactic is beneath even them?

Please convince me that this notion is too far into left field.

So how much of this can be traced to all the “mostly peaceful protesters” the rioters the looters.

I want to know the number of hospitalizations, and deaths, not cases.

Especially with all the false positives and people catching it with no symptoms.

It doesn’t sound like the Spanish Flu, or any other pandemic from the past.

If Chris Christie did not die I really like my chances.

I am glad he recovered and am not being snarky, but he is a good benchmark.

Your point is spot on. We have tens of millions of very panicked and frightened people and the media (and DNC) is playing on their fears for political reasons. 99% of them have nothing to fear personally. All of us remain cautious with our parents/grandparents as we should.

It is an absolute fact that the elderly are most vulnerable. It is also an absolute fact that we have gotten much better at treating severe cases.

Knowledge should displace fear when it comes to Covid. The “lockdowns” are pure politics now and have been for some time.
