Trusting the Election to the Mr. and Ms. Potato Heads of the Left-Media

Left-leaning, liberal-media are placing much focus and emphasis on the coronavirus regarding two particular states—Florida and Texas.

Here are the facts, according to the CDC website:

In the last seven days (data taken from 07/23/20), Florida has reported 77,044 new cases, and Texas has reported 69,253 new cases of COVID-19.

On the surface, this seems newsworthy. It sounds like these two states are in dire straits, but the devil is in the details.

It is reported by the CDC that Florida and Texas actually have a lower concentration of the virus when compared to many other states. That is, though there are many reported cases, there are fewer virus-cases per 100,000 people in Florida and Texas. The CDC numbers report that Florida has 1,760.2 cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 people. There are actually four states with a higher concentration of COVID-19 cases than Florida. As for Texas, it has 1,225.1 cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 people. There are 19 states/D.C. with a higher concentration of COVID-19 cases than Texas!

To understand what this lower concentration means, consider Texas. If there was a group 100,000 people in Texas, 1,225.1 of them are infected with COVID-19. Compare this to a state with a higher concentration of infection, than Texas such as Louisiana. Louisiana’s rate of COVID19 concentration is reported by the CDC to be 2181.3 per 100,000 people, almost twice as high as Texas. It is obvious that the COVID19 virus spreads when those infected are near others who are not infected, hence the need for social distancing.

This frustrates me Billy!

I posted this elsewhere but it is good here...

PDJT needs to bring real doctors to pressers...Governor Bashear just closed the bars in KY. The Left is hammering our economy, hammering the world economy, yet PDJT isn’t calling out the truth...hospitals aren’t full, nor are testing positive doing anything detrimental to anyone...that is the truth that NO ONE is trumpeting...where is the pushback???

Even Rush was a wussie today...in his analysis about surveying conservatives to see if they are scared to say their opinion in public, he noted 77% of conservatives said yes. He said it in a way that pissed me off...he doesn’t seem to get that MSM controls the information...and can bankrupt someone. Example...today, I supervised a customer...she runs a funeral home, and she is older, black, well connected. Since my wife is black, and she knows my democrat mother-in-law, she assumes we are democrats...so I get paid, we part ways, and chit chat in passing, she says, “ but we so badly need a new president”...I got paid, and money is green...had I expressed my views, I could lose $, hurt my service business, and hurt my employee’s families due to lost business...I replied with an unintelligible mumble.

We gotta take the data back, take the media, take the flow of information...PDJT needs to make a better effort...starting with real doctors with him and calling out the lies. 6pm every night on every channel...pandemic, 150,000 deaths...etc. lies.
