I assume most of them are old and/or weak from various other conditions, but would not currently be in the hospital had they not caught the virus.

Case numbers are meaningless.

How many are actually SICK? As in symptoms so severe that they cannot do activities of daily living?

How many are hospitalized?

How many are dead?

Case numbers are indicative of MORE testing. That's about it. And it has NOTHING to do with health. It's smoke and mirrors.

Also, define hospitalized.


Were they admitted for days?
Or admitted to ER and then discharged 5 hours later?

88,000 meaningless tests you mean. The virus affects everyone differently and most people not at all. Lots of testing for a fringe virus.

This surge in cases is coming at the exact wrong time it could have costing Trump the election particularly if the pumped up stock market crashes too. Just being honest. I know most people are driven by fear so....

Nah - case numbers don't mean anything and hopefully enough people will be smart enough to not blame Trump for the rising count. They are much worse in Europe and last I looked, Trump has no control over Europe.

The gig is up at this point. Anyone who thinks even remotely rationally knows it's Democrats ramping up the numbers to hurt Trump. Plus, those looters in Philadelphia will easily push fence-sitters into voting red in the nick of time. After all, the Dems supported and even sponsored the looters and Seattle's CHAZ all summer. People want law and order, and Biden can't or won't deliver it.
