Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

And the 50 or so videos of Trump events where you can literally count the masks on 1 hand? Don't know where you got your poll, but it's suspect given the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

 

Take your pick. Here are three. There are more.

Again, the media jumps on board with the staged events and noisy minority. Most of us are doing our part. I run a large non-profit retail operation. It generates millions in revenue with hundreds of customers per day. We also have 66 employees and hundreds of contacts in the community daily.
As part of our operations we have have 3 large retail outlets and a building supply center in a red area, and 99% compliance. We rarely even have to remind folks.

But yet when Trump came to town, he had his unmasked crowd at his event. It is a narrative he wants to create.

Here are some polls:

 

Um...Yeah. He has failed in this Covid fight since day one.

 

How does that voter resolve supporting a man who has killed so many people by lying and promoting reckless behavior in a bid to keep economy going to get him reelected? His reelection is more important than your life. How do you vote for that?

 

Are you asking me how I do it?

 

got these numbers off of covid 19 tracking. the 18 days after the july 4th holiday there were 1,160,488 new cases, average of 64,472 a day. the 18 days after labor day there were 727,511 new cases, average of 40,417 a day.this shows a almost 35% drop off, so again i ask, where are the 65,000-70,000 new cases found after july4th?the answer is that they are not there, and despite the comments of all the medical experts, including the revered dr, fauci that the american people are too stupid to avoid huge crowds and spreading of the virus cases are down, deaths are down, hospitalizations are down.of course some will say, gee, are you happy with 40,000 new cases and 1,000 deaths a day, of course not, but is better than 65,000 new cases and 1,500 deaths a day just over 2 months ago.p[eople like the media will never acknowledge the drop in numbers, but if they were like after july 4th they would say, see, i told you we are stupid.

 

It's been mentioned before, and the latest study shows no such cross-immunity exists. Instead, countries like India, S. Korea, and Japan took aggressive actions early to social distance, lockdown non-essential travel, and wear masks. But once restrictions were eased in India, for example, the virus spread there just like every other country. Dr Fauci mentioned in his testimony yesterday that multiple studies have shown no cross-immunity actually exists.

 

How does anybody do it? Is there a cognitive disconnect that they refuse to believe he lied and they died? And continues to promote no mask when they themselves know better? How can you vote for a man that elevates himself by demeaning all others? How can one just ignore Gen Kelly, Mattison, Rhoads?

 

Well, I likely won't, but there are more things to a vote then just this virus.

 

We dropped to just about 35K cases as the 7-day moving average a couple of weeks ago and have now gone back up to about 41K per day as the 7-day moving average for the last week.

 

But that doesn't jive with the Japan study I posted. 47% having antibodies does not spell "controlling the virus" to me or anyone. So either Fauci is wrong or what is the other explanation?

 

so, 41k is worse than 65k?

 

Evidence for and level of herd immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection: the ten-community study

5,000 person study in Qata. 84% asymptomatic. 80% of the people in the study had Covid. Herd Immunity in that area it seems.

 

Could you rewrite this so we can understand what you are trying to say?

 

I understand it completely.

 

Virginia governor and his wife tested positive.

 

very,very simple. in the 18 days following july4th the average new cases were64,472. in the 18 days after labor day the average new cases were 40,417, about a 35% drop, showing we know what we are doing, no new huge after holiday spike, comprende?

 

No, but it is worse than 35K. It is also worse than a lot of other numbers and better than other numbers.

 

my guess is that until it is 1 case a day some will not be happy about the strides being made, oh well.

 

A lot of numbers between 41K and 1. In fact, 6K more than there was between the case count and 1 from 2 weeks ago.
