Every other country has crushed the curve and now they are opening up while we let it go exponential and are closing down.
We are going backwards under Trump’s leadership and the economy will continue to suffer.
A few things kiddo.
1. Hospitals aren't really overflowing, that's just you being fooled by an accounting trick. I mean, that's not to say there aren't ANY where that might be the case, but it's few and far between.
2. Other countries had steep curves which is why they are near the downside of them, the US outside of the embarrassment that is NY had a much more flat curve, which is why we are still in the middle of it. .
3. The death rate continues to drop, that's not "going backwards".
My take on it is that the areas where SIP etc were done early, and appeared to be quite successful with low death rates, etc. are now the places experiencing what appears to be a second wave. Places like New York were slammed in the first wave, and SIP etc came too late. They do not seem to be experiencing a second wave. So nationwide the stats might be confusing, but when you look at a specific area it is not so confusing, and some places are experiencing an increase, and other places are experiencing a decrease.
"The United States now has so few deaths due to COVID-19 that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday it is approaching the threshold for dipping below the level of an epidemic.
The CDC defines an epidemic as an outbreak from which the number of deaths per week exceeds a given percentage of total deaths within the nation. The number of deaths from COVID-19 has steadily declined since hitting its peak in early May after it began spiking in the second week in March...."
The stats never came close to Pandemic protocol. Not even close.
The only thing this has been is a intentional Activist Media created PANIC, in collusion with global political fund raising.....
The only Pandemic was the Red Pill, that they tried to use the Kung Flu to reverse.

Seems kinda strange that deaths are the sole criterion for 'epidemic' status when so much is still unknown about the possible long term affects of this disease.

Wow. A certain political party is not going to like the news.

That's not really true. The long term damage is caused by pneumonia, and we know quite a bit about the long term effects of pneumonia.
If COVID-19 doesn't cause you to develop viral pneumonia, you are perfectly fine.

How can a 41 year old smoke for 50 years..... The actor was 41!
