Interesting how the media is really pushing the hysterical “Corona case counts are skyrocketing”. You would think we are living in a zombie apocalypse or as if this was a virus like the one in The Stand. I do feel sorry for the families of those who died but I honestly feel if a democrat was in office we would’ve barely heard about Covid. I am not an Obama fan but I never blamed him when people died of Ebola, but then again the media wasn’t hysterical about it.
I honestly feel that if Trump would’ve been full of panic then the media wouldve totally downplayed this.
Everyday is a new record of dead because death counts don't go backwards. The numbers are entirely meaningless. Anyone with a lab coat can tell CNN to add more numbers.
Let's not get into the tests being overly sensitive, or the actual false positive rate, or ifr, or any facts.
It's unfair according to the left to use facts against them.
Tests results are largely meaningless for statistical comparaison, yet the media keeps pretending it is. ( It's used as a screening to tell people to isolate themselves to lower transmission. )
The only remotely coherent way to compare situation in different states is to track excess mortality and controling for other factors.
For example, Québec has more detected daily cases than this Spring, but less than half ICU patients than this Spring, and 10%-20% of the Spring daily deaths. Because this Spring, they didn't do large-scale testing. ( The vast majority of cases are asymptomatic anyway. )
Yet listening to the media it's the apocalypse with "record breaking cases" and we must lockdown and not see our family and friends. Reminder that although this Spring there was indeed a significant excess mortality, there is not this Fall even at peak of the second wave.
God I wish our public health agency had a brain like, how extremely ironic, Sweden's, of all places. Their institute is not dictated by politicians, and thus the presstitutes trying to whip a mass hysteria to up their ratings cannot drill them daily, making them implement retarded policies, such as large-scale quarantine and hygene protocols in SCHOLS, for a demographic that would be 4 times more oikely to die of the seasonal flu.
Oh and no masks for the general public in Sweden.
Sweden never shut down they schools. Not even this Spring. No kid died. Zero.
And the tests just detecting any Corona virus, which is about 1/8 of cold viruses.
Well, that, and they don't even test for the flu this much. It's just a matter of everyone going to get tested more than before.
