Notice how they don't read the number of deaths on the news any more? It's because it's basically zero in most states at this point. Instead they concentrate on the number of cases so they can still make it seem as bad as possible. More cases and almost no deaths means healthy people are getting the virus and getting over it. This is what needs to happen if we're ever to have herd immunity, and yet the media would have you believe it's still a severe danger you should prevent yourself from getting it at all cost. They want to drag the fearmongering out for as long as they can, at least until after the election.

Time magazine got really existed they could print "200,000" on their cover this past week, with the lead article saying "America's Failure." Right, we were projected to have millions dead, and even with inflated numbers we only got to 200k now. They always move the goalposts.

6% of those 200k really.

The other 94% have 2.6 or more comorbidities.

And 90% of those 6% that tested positive for corona could very well have been false positives -- perhaps, they could've died from the common cold or just old age, or other untested morbidities.
