647 cases in a country with over 330mm.

Who’s blowing it out of proportion?

1. Because the official number (975 not 647) of cases is not a real number given our lack of testing and we have no idea what the real number is

2. Because this time last week the official number was 118, suggesting exponential growth

3. Because Italy

the only people I know who are downplaying the concern are a small fraction of Americans who are fearful that it will harm Trump politically.


Then you need to expand your circle. I don't see any difference between people who will insist you're a liberal if you criticize Trump and this mensa-level "if you're not freaking out just as much as I am about this virus it MUST be because you're concerned about how it will harm Trump".

CDC


"State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date."

Check your link. All we know about the CDC number is that they're not even trying to keep up to date for some reason.

The NYT reported 973 this morning, Business Insider had 970, I got a briefing of 975 at work. We're past 647

Let me slow it down for you? You've got three alternatives as leader of this country. One is a guy who has done a terrific job in the face of an impeachment, an outrageous and proven false charge of being a Russian plant/spy, and a msm that has forever ruined their credibility with outlandish lies and raw hate. He is not the most socially aware person I know but he loves his country and desperately wants to please and make her all she can be and serve all her citizens. And gets things done.

Or you have a guy who has been jailed in South Africa trying to see N. Mandela in prison and who capitalizes on a drunk driver killing his wife and child. Even though the police report and the police themselves say he was not drunk or even drinking and the wife pulled out in front of him. Even sticking to the story when the man's family has begged to stop. This guy is obviously troubled mentally.

Or you have a communist. Those are the three. I am voting Trump. What say you? If not the commie is it the proven president or the troubled guy?

Edit to say the current guy works for nothing.

The NYT and BI? Well hell, those two are the bastion of integrity

You’re right. We are past 700 then. Damned the CDC.

I'm not ruling out voting for Trump because I'm not going to vote for a communist, but I dont think it's too much to ask for the president to act like a fully functioning adult, either.

Biden doesn’t know his own damned name and cussed out a construction worker this morning because he (the worker) accused him, accurately I might add, of being against the 2nd amendment.

Again, the CDC's own website explained why their figures would be an undercount because states self-publishing. If you don't want to believe them, I suppose I can't make you. Either way, my points still stand; it's just a question of if cases went up by a factor of 5 or 6 in the last week. And of course, the NYT and CDC figures are both significant undercounts because we aren't testing enough.
