Feel free to believe whatever you want.

Go to YT and watch the numerous videos of nurses who were told to report deaths as "by covid" and hospitals who used covid as cause of death with patients who died of other causes. The legit number of deaths by covid is down.

Stay in the dark if you choose to, but the fact is that this is a blown out of proportion political maneuver.

Imagine that: the nation is not jumping when the communist Press says jump about the next crisis. There are clear social penalties for assuming that the nation is always clamoring to be entranced by the next emergency (of the heels of the one that just passed). I still remember the riots that flouted the social distancing rules, with justification from the communists for doing so. Does anyone else?

The virus isn’t losing potency so much but rather that nursing homes are locked down, many retirees and vulnerable people are staying home or trying to be careful. The spike is in younger people. Deaths are a lagging indicator, we’ll soon know if asymptotic carriers have passed it on to the the vulnerable.

I don't think this is a second wave. I think this is a resurgence of the first wave.

Let me put this in persepective for you all:

New York has 24,000 dead as of July 3rd

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ver-could.html

Florida 3,731, Texas 2,648 as of today....July 5th

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ver-could.html

Cases do not mean squat because such a low % of cases die. Deaths should be the focal point, not cases.

As young people return to work, employers are reqiring tests, and this is why cases are spiking...more test of asymptomatic employees returning to work,and being required to get tests beforehand.

Employers are also taking temps daily upon arrival to work, & if elevated temp, employes must go get tested.

So, we have a spike in cases because we have a spike in tests...of younger asymptomatic workers.

This is not like we had earlier where older Americians had symptoms, went into a hospital, tested positive, then had to fight for theri lives.

This is a whole new deal...and much less lethal.

Its nearly a non-event, its being OVERBLOWN by the media who is trying to sell advertising...ignore it.
