I been saying this for a while. They report total cases and deaths because there is no such thing as a negative case or death...well, unless they retroactively correct it...but the media does not report he CDC data which is the primary function of the CDC, data.

Hospitalizations: falling

Deaths: falling

Testing: increasing exponentially

(new cases reported should scale with increases in testing, yet)

New cases reported: remains level

CNN: MORE NEW CASES, MUST BE A 2ND WAVE!

We are protected from excessive fines via the Constitution. You should write the DOJ, and find a lawyer to sue.

The government cannot fine us for failure to adhere to a dress code.

Maybe it is time to March on the Governor's mansion. Setup a mask free Constitution zone on the lawn.

I think we all saw it coming a few months ago, even Trump. The media kept harping on testing. Testing means nothing because you could be infected 5 minutes after the test. All along, it was meant to keep this political tool alive well into the fall and prevent the economy from taking off.

They are not just saying "2nd wave" They are also saying

  • The virus has mutated and now more deadly
  • If you catch the virus you will be dealing with side effects like chest pain/shortness of breath for MONTHS if not YEARS afterward

They are going full throttle to shut this country down longer and tighter than they did the first go round.

They (the media) can push it all they want. But when they shifted to the race card and pushed for protests, a huge swath of America said, we're done with this Kung Flu BS. The rally proved it. Most everyone attending was NOT wearing masks. Now multiply that by millions and you get a massive rejection of this narrative. People aren't buying this crap anymore!

If I have to go to a store that requires "face coverings" I take my camo ball cap with an attached camo face mesh. I'll never wear their fucking dog masks and I hope we start getting creative with them. Some are wearing motorcycle helmets. Some have gas masks. Some have MAGA masks etc. Use them against these cucks.

SordidPontification 1 point ago +1 / -0

That's hilarious. If anything, it looks like the mutations are getting weaker since the deaths continue to trend downward and our treatment protocols are improving.

The fact is that it looks like an assortment of vitamin D, vitamin C, N-acetyl-cysteine, and zinc may reduce hospitalizations and mortality. Even if you are hospitalized, heparin appears to help reduce thrombi in the lungs, and dexamethasone can limit the effects of cytokine storm if your body has fought the virus off but the immune response is damaging lung tissue.

It's not like this is January all over again. We have a lot of things in our arsenal that we've learned.

Edit: Though, if you're diabetic, you're probably screwed. But that's true for most viral infections.

The total number of people dying per week is the best number to look at if you want to see how well we are doing against Covid-19.

They can fuck around with that death number a little bit but not as much as they can fuck around with testing numbers or infection rates, recovered, infectious patients or any other nonsense .

“The death statistics are not a fair representation. The only reason death rates are declining is because Trump isn’t allowing democrat governors to use COVID to get paid for murdering the elderly in nursing homes. Falling death rates are fake news; here’s why it’s bad for America.” -CNN Probably

GreyKnight 8 points ago +8 / -0

That reminds me when my parents were watching him when I went to see them...

Cuomo said America has only tested 20-something people per 100,000...

I brough up the CDC stats on total test performed, which was like about 14,000,000 at the time which comes out to about 4,200 tested per 100,000...I think they couldn't report facts if they had wanted to at this point...

It’s stupid how much harder it is to get a number for active cases in the US. On the JH website Ohio doesn’t even have recoveries listed despite my hometown’s county hospital posting a list of cases where everyone has recovered except for 2 people.

GreyKnight 1 point ago +1 / -0

We have some information

https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/COVIDNet/COVID19_3.html

There overall rate is about 24 per 100,000 people per week

You will have to select the parameters in the link, so about 80,000 per week nation wide, or average 1,600 (varying 800 to 3,200) hospitalizations per state per week.

There are about 20,000 incorporated cities etc in America...so an average of about 4 (varying 2 to 8) hospitalizations per city per week depending on severity of the area

Another reason why I have SERIOUS questions about what’s supposedly going on in Texas right now

23
Kaori-chan1 23 points ago +23 / -0

Pre COVID, hospital ICUs were always full. They admit post operative cases like heart/lung surgery, cancer surgeries requiring intense care which bring big $$ for hospital. During Covid, they halted these cases to open ICus for COVID. Now Texas is open for these cases because the patients can only wait for 3-4 months. Currently non-Covid ICU beds account for 70%(today’s data from Texas medical Center) . ICU beds can be opened up more if necessary especially if people stop shooting other people during riots. No need for panic.

there right now (visiting). the national news is claiming a "spike," the local news is fretting it's a spike.

cccpneveragain 5 points ago +6 / -1

My opinion on it is there is a real second wave in Texas. Lots of people are out--its a much different look than it was in April. That's if you want to call it a second wave because there was never much of a first wave.

Still though, there's not even been a correlation with testing positive for the virus and even at any point suffering from any sort of sickness. Just like when there was a big peak in New York, there was supposed to be tens of thousands on ventilators and need of hospital ships, etc. and it never materialized. Texas isn't even trending towards using up basic hospital capacity with all the other regular hospital uses going on.

I really think number of positive cases means nothing. Deaths are still trending down. The cases are used to scare people to add more government control. Just look at the situation today--it's just like it was in March. In March it was "Everyone lockdown!! It's coming for you! Exponential growth! You're all going to die!" Today's narrative is exactly the same just replace lockdown with masks. It's following the same pattern, the liberal places run to mask everyone up, the purple places follow, and if the pattern continues it will swallow up almost everywhere.

1
Cyer6 1 point ago +1 / -0

I wrote Abbott today about the mask BS. He didn't actually order masks, but he's endorsing or approving of those cities and counties who are mandating them. Some of these counties like Travis have mandated masks in businesses through August 15th. And the enforcers of those mandates will be the businesses themselves. If they don't comply, they face fines and losing their licenses. That's unacceptable and I read that the Texas R's are pushing Abbott to reconsider his stance. I hope some lawsuits are being filed against these cities and counties.

2
cccpneveragain 2 points ago +2 / -0

That's spread to Dallas and Tarrant county too (I think I also heard Bexar, probably others). But you're right, they are essentially strong arming the businesses into enforcing it. On top of myself hating the requirement, that's a really scummy way to force it. I've even seen heavy TDS pro-mask liberals that work places and aren't happy that they are supposed to enforce it.

I hope there are some lawsuits too. We have laws and rights for a reason and it's all just cast aside. If they want masks so bad then follow the proper channels with the legislature. They won't do that because it wouldn't get through the proper channels.

https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily

This is where I got my numbers from. I saved the whole page as a PDF, copied all the number from the PDF into a spreadsheet. Their number are daily and the death totals are cumulative.

To get the weekly numbers are you have to do is add up to seven days of each week and I totaled each on Sundays and then compressed the Sunday weekly total to a second spreadsheet.

It doesn’t make sense to compare daily numbers because there’s too much variation from day to day, probably due to reporting issues, etc.

Anyhow if you know how to work with spreadsheets and you can do subtraction and division it’s not so difficult to come up with these actual weekly death count numbers. My question is why hasn’t anyone in the mass media done this? Hmm

Good luck.

raver9876 [S] 0 points ago +3 / -3

I’m gonna disagree with that. That is the kind of visual that the mass media wants to show us. Everything getting bigger and scarier. I’m focused on one thing, “How many people died last week”? If the number of dead are fewer and fewer, that means whatever we’re doing is working.

Also, This virus, naturally overtime, has gotten weaker due to evolution. Strong viral strains that kill their victims too quickly, don’t get transmitted.

Finally, doctors are getting better at treating this disease.

It only makes sense that death numbers are going to fall week after week.

2
MaxineWaters4Prez 2 points ago +2 / -0

I don't know why you'd disagree. That graph shows it losing strength and prevalence.

It shows, since mid-late April, hospitalizations are falling and continue to fall. And it shows a "new case" flatline, despite testing exponentially more.

If we had an honest media, they'd celebrate that this virus is showing a decline in severity and prevalence (when new cases fail to correlate in any way with the testing increases).

2
raver9876 [S] 2 points ago +2 / -0

OK I zoomed in close enough to see that the green hospitalized line was going down but the daily numbers are too much information, too much detail in there for dummies like me. I’m not gonna take much away from a chart like that. That’s why I did that week by week analysis to smooth out daily fluctuations and give you a few numbers to look at. The nine week in a row falling death rate trend in blue is very clear to most people, I hope.

In the end, The only number that matters is how many people die from this thing.

1
MaxineWaters4Prez 1 point ago +2 / -1

We need to stay on top of data and facts, because the media is winning the war with feelings.

Nobody is dying from it. You and I both know this. The median age of mortality is 81. The average life expectancy in the United States is 76m/78f. The ones it is claiming were beyond their day and while it's sad, it's a fact of life.

We are testing and testing and testing, and no matter how many tests we perform, the numbers are all going down.

The only number they have left is "new cases". It's a number that will always be a positive integer, so it doesn't matter what that number is, it's always going to serve their feelings.

We need graphs like this to demonstrate hospitals are being emptied, testing is on every street corner, and they're squeezing every last drop out of testing for as long as they can.

Just watch, the next step is mandatory testing to return to work. Gotta pump the numbers again because we're approaching saturation of all willing participation. Need to make it obligatory!

Or deaths may not happen at all. Why do you say new infections are starting to spike? Any chance that testing is increasing, which makes it look like infections are spiking? I guess that's not the narrative though, right?

12
raver9876 [S] 12 points ago +12 / -0

It’s much easier to pull a bogus infection or testing number out of your ass than it is to pull a bogus number of dead bodies out of your back pocket.

They did try to blame any kind of elderly death on COVID-19, but they can’t get away with that game for much longer.

Room641A -9 points ago +1 / -10

You can see the data here: https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en

New infections per day are rising (slowly now, but may increase exponentially without intervention), testing has increased immensely. The rate of positive test results has fallen as testing increased.

1
Cyer6 1 point ago +1 / -0

The entire country is infected with the virus. It's spread throughout our population and there's no containing it. The testing is proving that fact. You can wear your little dog mask and be compliant and still get infected or even transmit it to someone else. By doing lockdowns and business shutdowns, and wearing our dog masks, we still have done nothing to stop it. All we did is make it worse on ourselves and hand the Dem party a tool to collapse an economy.

Hey, Fear-Bot,

Look at the blue numbers on my table. (Blue) numbers are negative.

The number of deaths declined for 9 weeks in a row, from April to last week.

If weekly death report increase anytime soon, it will be because of BLM protests not because of any type of lag.

wrongaddress 5 points ago +5 / -0

Let's see, but I think the first wave took out the unprepared. We also are starting to get new protocols in place that reduce death rates.

Face the facts, we all are going to get this. The longer you can avoid getting WhuFlu the seriousness goes down (minus mutations). Prepare for getting it by being healthy as possible.

7
raver9876 [S] 7 points ago +7 / -0

Thanks to viral evolution, weaker viral strains become more common over time.

A virus that kills it victims in 24 hours never has a chance to spread, unless it is a zombie virus that makes people bite other people.

-8
Room641A -8 points ago +3 / -11

Assuming there is no vaccine, yes, we will all get it. But deaths will be much higher if we all get it at the same time, since that would strain medical resources for those who need them.

Also, by dragging this out it buys some time to find better treatment options, and/or protocols as you mentioned.

2
NuclearDreams 2 points ago +2 / -0

That's what the lockdown was supposed to be for. It's been four months since this virus appeared. We have had all the time we needed to assemble data and resources to treat this thing.

At some point you have to realize that your army has enough ammunition and weaponry and just start fighting the war. We can't be in a perpetual state of "lockdown" just waiting until we have the absolute perfect idea of how to treat WuFlu and all of its impacts. Eventually we have to fucking face it head on and admit the fact that young, healthy people don't deserve to be kept in isolation and have their economic livelihoods and social lives ruined for something that doesn't even negatively impact 99% of the population.

DatNewbChemist 6 points ago +6 / -0

I genuinely and sincerely don’t care if COVID infection rates increase SO LONG AS the people being infected are healthy and can stand the risk it poses to them. Quarantine the very susceptible (nursing homes, hospitals, etc.), have these places heavily screen incoming employees, allow the healthy to consume and produce so the economy doesn’t grind to a halt, and let herd immunity play a significant role. I’m skeptical on our ability to produce a safe and effective vaccine so quickly and we can’t perpetually stay in limbo, this is an option that doesn’t kill those vulnerable and doesn’t gut the nation’s economy. This also gives hospitals a chance to prepare for increased infections of those in need of hospitalization should things go awry.

NotSorryLuvTrump 2 points ago +2 / -0

Yeah I keep posting on twitter (because I hate myself) - AZ's case count and % of tests confirmed have been skyrocketing but the death count have seemingly maxed out near 25 a day.

Most of the new deaths are confirmations covid deaths from prior days.

You can't jump from 500 cases a day and maxing out at 25 deaths a day, to 3500 new cases a day and STILL end up with around 25 deaths a day and take away anything but "man, this is more lethal than we thought"

My thoughts, though, are not that this is less lethal and opening up caused more spreading - I think tons of us "had it" earlier and they're just now finding out. I don't trust those tests.

My parents are extremely worried about COVID. Well, mainly my mother. They STILL wear masks and want others to as well. And they're blaming the scary ” spikes” on re-opening the country. And my parents are conservatives. But they don't follow politics at ALL. They don't want that in their lives and refuse to stand up for their beliefs. And don't say to me that I need to convince them to think our way they always stop the conversation and say I'm arguing with them. They won't take my points of view into account.

A lot of my family wear masks as well. I don't know what to do. And of course, they will force me to wear a mask whenever I'm out so I just refuse to leave. But I have an upcoming surgery in Phoenix, AZ that I have to go to but my mom is so scared about the spikes in that city so who knows what will happen. I'm 20, but this is supposed to be a family trip to Arizona and of course my surgery. I'm still living at home and my mom especially is so scared of getting sick so it's very complicated business.

If you have a deep cut and you keep on wiping away the blood as it comes comes out it’s never going to heal.

If we had simply locked everyone over the age of 70 away for a month and forced everyone younger to infect each other, all the younger people would have become immune and it would have stopped spreading.

The deaths are a 3-4 week lag behind the cases.

So a sudden spike in cases can be traceable to BLM and the health authorities endorsing it.

Not sure why you were down voted. It's more complicated than this, but in general the peak in daily deaths lags the peak in daily cases by 2 to 4 weeks. I think we should know fairly soon if deaths are also going up. We're smarter now (I think?) about protecting the most at risk so even with more cases I'd expect fewer deaths as a result when compared to earlier data.
