The OP explains the skyrocket.
The CDC officially change the protocol for the counting..... again.
This number being reported, is no longer "confirmed cases"
Probable cases, are now the number counted. All speculative on top of actual.

This is getting so infuriating. The powers that shouldn't be keep changing their story on literally every aspect of this crap show and the sheep keep bleating and yammering and taking every word of every lie as gospel!


I am ashamed of America.

Once again proving - "bad for America, good for democrats".

Boom.
I hope you guys are seriously joking. Robust contact tracing is one of the two most effective tools, along with wearing masks, to slowing the spread and getting us out of this mess.

Don't believe me? Look how Michigan's contact tracing program was able to find people 100 miles away from the outbreak, limiting any further future spread.

Stop making idiot comments.

Think of the kittens.
Good. Glad to hear it. I hate cats. Especially the little cuddly ones.

See how ridiculousness works?

I do believe the Covid Numbers have always been skewed...

Deaths being reported as Covid, even though - They're not A Covid Death..

Then prove it. It is very easy to see how a Chinese Psyop operation could easily destabilize virtually the entire world. In places with universal healthcare, the doctors are required to stick to w.h.o. guidance which is no treatment. In the U.S. doctors in poorer and minority areas (of which there is a lot of overlap) are going to rigidly adhere to cdc guidance, which is beholden to w.h.o. guidance, to avoid being sued. There seems to be a strong trend in this country between African American areas and hospitalizations/deaths.

Where is it?
Mandating mask wearing without shutting down your economy sounds like a good compromise to me.

Florida is the opposite. 3000 deaths from Pneumonia from January 2020 - April 2020 when the average over that time for the last 5 years was 900. Seems Florida is deflating numbers and those numbers are the official numbers reported to the CDC.

So Florida needs to add about 2100 deaths to their total of 3600 they are reporting now.

Joking about not carrying a phone with me at all times? Nope. Not for a minute.
