Considering the hospitals sent COVID patients to nursing homes to get them out of hospitals, which explains the massive amount of deaths of the elderly in them.

AP count: Over 4,500 virus patients sent to NY nursing homes


More than 4,500 recovering coronavirus patients were sent to New York’s already vulnerable nursing homes under a controversial state directive that was ultimately scrapped amid criticisms it was possibly accelerating the outbreaks.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo — the main proponent of the policy — called “the optimum feeding ground for this virus.”

“It was the single dumbest decision anyone could make if they wanted to kill people,” Daniel Arbeeny said of the directive, which prompted him to pull his 88-year-old father out of a Brooklyn nursing home where more than 50 people have died. His father later died of COVID-19 at home.

Yeah, it is.

Several of these threads all of a sudden and they all share the same half-baked conspiracy nonsense. Must be a mass email or meme going around.

If numbers spike, they will claim that the numbers are made-up.
If they don’t, they’ll claim that there was never really a reason to try to avoid infection.

Of course, just a tiny bit of research would show that cases are spiking in places that saw big gatherings for Memorial Day so there is absolutely no reason to expect that we won’t see the same in another couple of weeks.

California had its highest one-day total of positive COVID-19 cases, with health officials reporting 2,565 new cases on May 25. This broke the previous one-day total of 2,546 new cases reported on May 5.

Being a resident of Florida, I knew FL was doing it, but I didn't know about Texas and Georgia. Lying about it like that is borderline criminal.
It’s a plausible conclusion.
I read yesterday that the country entered a recession in February(!) which as we all recall was a month before any talk of shutdowns.

I guess that depends on your definition of "fine".

IT IS ONLY DUE TO INCREASED TESTING!!!! Good grief, if everyone would just go look at the deaths, for Georgia at least, the death rate is going straight down despite the increase in cases. That or the doctors have finally wisened up and started actually treating people like they have been for years and ignoring the cdc and who and the communists that run them!

The left wing Chicken Littles have zero credibility when it comes to COVID19 and everyone knows it.

The facts say otherwise. Deaths have been going down as we "reopen" the nation. Sunday we had the lowest death toll since March. If you only watch NBC, CNN, BSNBC or the NYT, I can understand why you wouldn't know that. The FUD packers aren't concerned with the truth.
