In anticipation of breaking 10,000 deaths tomorrow there will be no alcohol sales in bars and restaurants after 5 PM Wednesday...until 8 AM Thanksgiving Day.

They worried about people drinking themselves to death?

[blueunicorn6]

There must be bodies everywhere.

I look for Fauci and his covid spreaders to hit Georgia to discourage in person voting and increased mail ins.

[neodad]

Must be the Trump’s rallies fault. Thank goodness he’s leaving! /sarc

300+ million Americans have NOT contracted or died from CV19. 😨😷💸

They are not posting number of deaths. The number is flat at around 250,000. The same number give or take as in August.

Must . . . . . keep . . . . . . the . . . . . . panic . . . . . goooing.

And how many of these are false positives?

[McGavin999]

The good thing about Covid is it seems to have cured cancer, heart disease and various other illnesses (including natural causes in the aged). There are no hospitalization due to these other illnesses.

if we are allowed to know, when all this is done, there will be no statistical difference in total deaths in the year 2020 as compared to other years IMO....deaths overall will increase normally since we have a growing population....but per capita should be within +/- 3%.

I'm sorry, I'm in a very vulnerable group, but we are not going to prevent sickly and elderly people from dying...its our destiny...

[redcatcherb412]

Very true, the NM deaths are running 50-75% daily in the elderly over 70.

[A_perfect_lady]

Monthly average deaths in the US according to the CDC:

2017=234K
2018=237K
2019=238K
2020=236K

So if we really lost 250K in 9 months that we would not have otherwise lost, that's about 27K per month, so our death rate SHOULD be around 263K per month, starting in March.

But it isn't.

[bantam]

How many cases require hospitalization????
That should be the question?

[lowbuck]

Bodies everywhere /s. Let’s take this statement “There are 9,951 deaths attributed to COVID-19, an increase of 81”.

Wow, in a country of 330 million who has an average of 7000 folks die each day 24/7/365 this is about average.

Yet another example of the MSM/Big Tech filling the average citizen with pure BS. What will it take to wake the sheep up?

[fatima]

Going around,my son has it.He is starting to feel better.One of the guys at his work has it.His wife’s Mother and Father had it.I could go on.

[doc maverick]

Exactly, this virus has not followed the usual course. They are dropping covid bombs wherever they please.
I also think the numbers are grossly exaggerated.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Most of the new cases must be in the Philly area, as Allegheny County (the largest Western county) only reported 541 new cases today.

[Madam Theophilus]

TWO POINTS.

1. 6,669 positive cases from PCR tests does not equal the number of actual COVID infections. Asymptomatic positives are highly likely to be false positives.

2. 4,000 hospitalizations with a positive PCR test still does not equal COVID hospitalizations

Unless people were given influenza tests at the onset of their respiratory symptoms, there is no way to determine whether they do not in fact have influenza instead.
