Never mind that we are now testing at a per capita rate 50% higher than Germany (the role model to follow, until now).

Deaths continue to decline.

"But deaths are a lagging indicator!" they say.

Oh, well, then how about hospitalizations? They continue to decline, too.


COVID is like racism. Far more demand than supply.

Sounds like there is plenty of supply. Just isn't holding up as the incurable fatal disease that we've been warned about. I'm sure I'll get it going into a 7/11 restroom some time.

The MSM are now saying the deaths will follow and we are just seeing a lag.

All these cases are just proving how weak this virus is.

Is this true? I know they're rising pretty quickly in louisiana. Not that i care, it's all a sham.

Some states have been open for a few months now. How long is that "lagging indicator"?

Last week I had a follow up visit for a workman’s comp issue. When I arrived they tried to tell me they wouldn’t see me today because they were booked up for Covid testing. Apparently the lines started forming at 5am to get one of the 60 available slots. Best I could figure is that people weren’t there just because they wanted a test. Just from listening to people, they were being required to get a test from everything from work to being able to participate in any sort of group activity. So if you wanted to coach a little league team, chaperone a camping trip for a youth group, or anything else like that, you were being forced to get a test. Even being here at Emory medical for a consultation visit, they are asking anyone entering the building for their Covid history testing. So basically numbers are being driven by required testing.

Would love for someone to point me to something, anything, the MSM has flogged in recent years that actually turned out to be true. Anything.

It will probably be "Covid-19" even if you die on top of a 21 yo hooker at age 82...

As an aside, Regeneron's Monoclonal Antibodies went to phase 3 trials today. Could be a BFD!

Which two days after you get a negative test result back you can still get infected. Seems a waste of time, a test, unless you're showing signs of the symptoms of the virus huh?
