Michigan has more than 1,000 new cases in a day for the first time since May 14th. Effffffff

Nothing to worry about. They'll start falling as soon as the numbers go directly to the administration rather than the CDC.

I'm not particularly interested in anecdotal evidence.

But, I do know the goalposts are forever moving with this thing.

If you're only interested in deaths and not what people are going through now or the lingering effects, we're about to cross over 140,000 dead in the U.S. since we started into this 4 or so months ago. Brazil is next with almost 74,500. Our direct neighbors to the north are at 8,810 and our direct neighbors to the south are at 36,327. We've got Don Brown's Thanksgiving week defense going on out here.

Right. The Northeast was a disaster. No doubt. I think the US death numbers are about the same as the equal population in the EU.

But, I get it. This is political for you. You’re hell bent on hysteria.

[iam416]

We peaked (for now) in mid April at roughly 2500-3000 deaths per day. And that was off of 30000 cases per day.

We’re over 3 weeks in to the “spike” in cases to 40k (initially) and well beyond and we aren’t seeing anything close to the previous death numbers. Younger people aren’t dying.

HOWEVER, the Narrative and the HYSTERIA!!!! must continue so the goalposts must be moved. That’s been the game from day fucking one.

At some point, IF the deaths stay basically where they are then it’s going to be time to acknowledge that fact.

Some unfortunate news for some—Moderna’s initial study produced extremely promising results. They’ll move into a larger study post haste. Huzzah, Scientific Method!

It's a shame that so many people had to die in Democrat-run locales because of Democrat incompetence. New York City alone (run by a mini-me Bernie Sanders) would be the 9th worst country in the world for deaths at 22,800.

*sigh* shame. Ah well, if they keep defunding the police they won't have to worry about dying from the WuFlu at least.

Ummm....No, Michigan had 891 new cases today. That is the most since 5/14

Or could be---just maybe that we know how to better treat the symptoms now? Nah, that could not be it.

LOL. If you think deBlasio is anything like Bernie Sanders.

Whitley:

I don’t care why CFR/deaths seem down. I’m sure the learning curve is a factor. I’m not blaming the Northeast or Italy. Rather, I’m HAPPY deaths appear to be holding/modestly increasing despite huge case jump.

That’s GOOD NEWS. Whatever the reasons (and I’m sure there’s more than 1). My point would be the hysteria over cases is really only justified if the deaths follow. As of now — and it could change — three weeks into the spike and we haven’t seen it. That SHOULD be cause to think about the case spike a little differently.

My wife and I just got back from our favorite local ice cream stand, and out of about 30 customers on site, I was the only one wearing a mask. The employees inside were all wearing masks.

Everyone WAS practicing 'social distancing', but I think that's mostly because we all hate each other anyway .... (j/k) ....

They both are lifelong Communist sympathizers and Cold War era Communist stooges. They both even honeymooned on Communist soil.

Brad Parscale is out. Please welcome Bill Stepien as the new drummer for Spinal Tap

Sighs. I don't know bout deBlasio, but here is something on Bernie Sanders

snipped from that:

What's True

Jane Sanders and then-Mayor Bernie Sanders traveled to the Soviet Union shortly after their wedding as part of a government trip to establish a sister-city relationship between Burlington, Vermont, and Yaroslavl. Sanders has previously joked that this trip was a "strange honeymoon."

What's False

This trip was not a "honeymoon" in the traditional sense and did not occur during the "height of the cold war." The purpose of this trip was to establish a sister city in Russia, not for the newlyweds to enjoy a romantic getaway. Bernie and Jane Sanders took their real honeymoon in St. Lucia in the Caribbean the following year.
