The other countries are using HCQ way more than the U.S. We need to protest against the CDC & FDA to stop their pseudo-ban and free up the prescribing of HCQ. The recoveries in other countries are far outpacing ours. The way to open up is increasing the use of HCQ.

Masks stop the spread of nothing and most of the lemmings are wearing one. fearpers and control freaks can’t understand or deal with the fact that lockdowns do not work to contain a virus that is widely circulating in the community. You want to wear a mask? wear one. You want to stay home? stay home but don’t rob me to support you. The rest of us are ready to move on

The WHO and CDC now recommend everyone wear a blindfold to protect from seeing what’s really going on

Lol... Copy that.

Our friend Fauci has a past that gives me pause. Supposedly had a hand in transferring 3.7 million dollars to the Wuhan lab for starters.

Find smarter ways to get work done without too many employees getting sick. Smarter businesses will sell more and get more customers.

Oh, and don’t be one of these.

‘People flouting the laws’.

What laws are you referring to? We had no laws passed - only unconstitutional edicts. Most in my area are ignoring them.

“ how is it six-weeks later there are 25,375 new cases in a single day?”

People giving up on isolation, and reaping the consequences.
Both were obvious inevitabilities.

The goalposts were moved!

It was pseudohonorably sold as "flattening the curve" to avoid overwhelming the health 'care" non-system.

The REAL goal was, and remains, to plunge the USA into an economic DEPRESSION, to remove DJT from the Presidency, and to remake the USA into an oppressive police state like China or Singapore.

So far the CHICOMS are WINNING!

FAQ: COVID-19 Data and Surveillance

"Why are the death counts for the Case in the U.S. different from the Provisional Death Counts for COVID-19 and pneumonia?

"The COVID-19 death count shown on the Cases in the U.S. web page includes deaths reported daily by state, local, and territorial health departments. This count reflects the most real-time information CDC has based on preliminary reporting from health departments.

"In contrast, provisional COVID-19 death counts from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) are updated Monday-Friday based on information collected from death certificates. These data represent the most accurate death counts. However, because it can take several weeks for death certificates to be submitted and processed, these data currently are lagged by an average of 1–2 weeks and may not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for more recent periods. Death counts from earlier weeks are continually revised and may increase or decrease as new and updated death certificate data are received. Provisional COVID-19 death counts may therefore differ from other published sources, such as media reports or the Cases in the U.S. web page.

(If we are at 2000 deaths a day then a 1-2 week lag represents a difference of 14,000 to 28,000 deaths.)

number of cases means nothing as it reflects testing shich is variable depending who and what is being tested. People in hospital and dead/lived are all that really matters. other than actual antibody test who had it and then what the death/recovery rates are. it seems the stats are fairly stable 80/20 with about a .1 death rate. like the princess cruise people.

Selfish, selfish, selfish, you are spreading the virus and many will die.

If you don’t care about yourself, think about all the healthcare workers you are putting in danger by your reckless irresponsible behavior.

“How did we go from over 60,000 deaths to only 38,576?”

From the same CDC site, on the “Technical Notes”.

“It is important to note that it can take several weeks for death records to be submitted to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), processed, coded, and tabulated. Therefore, the data shown on this page may be incomplete, and will likely not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for the more recent time periods. Death counts for earlier weeks are continually revised and may increase or decrease as new and updated death certificate data are received from the states by NCHS. COVID-19 death counts shown here may differ from other published sources, as data currently are lagged by an average of 1–2 weeks.”
...
“COVID-19 deaths may also be classified or defined differently in various reporting and surveillance systems. Death counts in this report include laboratory confirmed COVID-19 deaths and clinically confirmed COVID-19 deaths. This includes deaths where COVID-19 is listed as a “presumed” or “probable” cause. Some local and state health departments only report laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 deaths. This may partly account for differences between NCHS reported death counts and death counts reported in other sources. Provisional counts reported here track approximately 1–2 weeks behind other published data sources on the number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. (1,2,3).”
...
“Coronavirus disease deaths are identified using the ICD–10 code U07.1. Deaths are coded to U07.1 when coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 are reported as a cause that contributed to death on the death certificate. These can include laboratory confirmed cases, as well as cases without laboratory confirmation. If the certifier suspects COVID-19 or determines it was likely (e.g., the circumstances were compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), they can report COVID-19 as “probable” or “presumed” on the death certificate (5, 6). “

Jane:

States are currently reporting two fundamentally unlike statistics: current hospital/ICU admissions and cumulative hospitalizations/ICU admissions. Across the country, this reporting is also sparse. In short: it is impossible to assemble anything resembling the real statistics for hospitalizations, ICU admissions, or ventilator usage across the United States. As a result, we will no longer provide national-level summary hospitalizations, ICU admissions, or ventilator usage statistics on our site.

In the individual states' info given, you can see too many Pubbie states (and some Dems) are falling down on the job.

The media is spooking people, there is little that can be done to fight the virus.
Chip away at it and move on, stop bludgeoning us with fear.

Well, I just got the warning email. Someone in our firm now is suspected of having it. High fever, but not in the hospital yet. Means 2 week mandatory quarantine for anyone in contact with that person, cannot leave your home for anything.

Most of us have been working from home for the past 2 weeks so we won’t be affected.

This is a deadly, deadly disease.

How convenient.....that they tell us it’s just too inconvenient for them to assemble real statistics.

Falling down on the job, alright. :(

It’s like the moving goal posts that Dr Scarf seems to favor.

I am a healthcare worker genius. Think of all the people you are putting at risk with the false narrative that a mask will protect them. Then think of all the lives you are permanently ruining with the economic shutdown. Your false sense of moral superiority is far more selfish than my speaking the truth
