Maybe it’s yet another “change in the way we count cases.”

More tests being done, plus other illnesses being counted as COVID19.

“If people are staying at home, practicing social distancing, wearing masks in public, washing their hands and sanitizing everything in sight, how is it that COVID-19 continues to be transmitted from person to person?”

None of those things is happening in my town, best I can tell.

Went for a drive today. Some businesses are still taking “social distancing” measures, and some had not reopened, but things seemed pretty normal.

The point is they’re NOT, at least in America.

1. They’re not wearing masks. That’s the number one way to to stop spreading the virus.

2. They’re not social distancing.

3. They’re not refraining from gathering in groups.

So the numbers will just get bigger and bigger as the idiots infect themselves and others.

It gets weirder. How did we go from over 60,000 deaths to only 38,576? This is from the CDC website and is current!

The media has conditioned too many people to be afraid to go out until there is zero cases or until Bill Gates can inject them with the miracle preventer.

Grampa Dave: It’s not about your health!

“When the State tells you it’s safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it’s not about your health.

When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.

When the State bans dentists because its unsafe, but deems an abortion visit is safe, it’s not about your health.

When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows personal lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.

When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make-up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it’s not about your health.

When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but lets criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- It’s not about YOUR health!

When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor for chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential- It’s not about your health!

When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, ITS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

WAKE UP PEOPLE — If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken! Please open your eyes! Stop being lead like blind sheep.”It's the Wuhan Scam

You can choose to listen to the people who said Jeb Bush should be the GOP candidate in 2016 or realize you are being lied to.
The numbers say there are 1.1M infected people who have NOT recovered.
Where are they?

If they are home, how do they know they have NOT recovered.
If they are in the hospital, how come the hospitals are so empty.

Flattening the curve in no way is intended to reduce the number infected. Only to spread out the time of the infections. The virus still will run its course and as people interact there will be more infections.

The key is it is overwhelmingly non-fatal to otherwise healthy persons. Only elderly and already sick are at risk of death.

So if you are at high risk stay away from other people. If otherwise healthy get on with life.

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.

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!

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.

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, the curve has been flattened indeed, but how is it six-weeks later there are 25,375 new cases in a single day?

This is about the dumbest effin question I seen written by a total and utter moron on this subject WTF does he think "flattening the curve" means? It means not increasing by 10 fold a week stretching to the 10s of millions. It means litterally what it says - that the curve is flat, that the number of new cases is not increase every day. That is what flat means. In fact, the number of new cases is decreasing - which is the whole point of social distancing or whatever you want to call mitigation measures to reduce Rt. He does know what Rt means, doesn't he?

Some of these flubros really are dumber than dirt. but tg
