    The new media ploy is now "cases". Not deaths.

    Deaths are going down fortunately but that isn't good so let's just keep talking about cases. Don't EVER mention recovery.

    Exactly! It doesn't matter how many cases there are. If you take care of the 60+ population, the number of cases is a non-factor.

    Yes this is the new narrative...also coronavirus only spreads among people enjoying themselves. No spiking due to protesting, rioting, looting....simply amazing

    Is there a graph of tests/day for cases?

    They are worried we were getting too close to being normal with sports and vacation spots opening. This would hurt rating for the media.

    Yeah, I use that site mainly for covid stuff, but I was unable to see a graph of the number of tests done per day. I did find this on a different site:


    That ended two weeks ago, but the newest graph its basically the same. It's interactive so I can't grab it as an image.

    Critical thinking is not a attribute of the media and sadly the american people. it is our fatal flaw.

    I think everyone should just get it already.. Some of us will die (1% maybe) but we'll all be immune after.. End of Corona plague just like that.. Order restored in America and the World then..

    Virus is getting weaker also, more people are recovering when getting it now.

    What do the hospitalization rates look like?
    Are they going up, down, staying the same?
    That's probably where people should be looking..

    This dumbass thinks that positive cases doesn’t equal more deaths in about 10-14 days.

    If everyone was smart. They just wear masks for a month or two and the virus has nowhere to go. Instead we have so many idiots in this country that think they are tough guys and won’t wear one. That’s why we have more cases. Let’s face it...we have millions of dummies in this country and that’s why we have more cases. It’s pretty simple. Unfortunately so many people are dumbed down by the idiot in Chief that we stopped listening to doctors and now listen to a real estate failure.

    What's scary is the leader telling his minions to slow down testing..
    Less tests = less positive cases, hospitalization and deaths..
    Therefore, by his reasoning, it's defeated and a non-factor in the U.S. all because of his great leadership..

    I gave you a chart in post one. Obviously people will keep dying but with more cases the amount of people actually dying has gone down.

    It’s probably because younger people are getting it because they are the ones going out.

    All the successful countries masked up immediately. They shutdown and social distanced until the numbers fell dramatically.
    Then they opened slowly and judiciously while massive testing allowed contract tracing.
    A perfect example is Japan. Extremely crowded with subways and trains like New York.
    Population 123 million........18,000 cases and less than 1,000 dead.
    They listened to the scientists and doctors to develop a plan.

    The answers are out there but you need leadership and direction.

    The daily death total should begin to rise again until the first wave subsides. It has in most of the world except the US.

    Its cases, NOT deaths that will continue to keep us from seeing full stadiums and live sports like we are used to attendIng and betting on. And it will continue to affect those sports testing or no testing. No matter which side you are on you can’t get around it.

    No the fukk they didnt . The Japanese wear mask from October -February for the flu , even if in the states .
    Most wear them 24/7 in Japan regardless of temperature, etc. Go get on a train in Tokyo , Utsinomyo, 90% will be wearing them outside this Virus .

    Sorry. This is not la la land. A huge percentage don’t think there is anything to this virus, and a huge percentage thinks everyone who gets it will get sick and die. The rest are in between. There are many sides. The virus is whipping our asses.

    Agree 100%..
    Problem is that the leader said let the state's figure it out so you have 50 joints in one bone going different and separate ways..
    That's abnormal...

    More cases are going to happen with more testing. The point of this thread ( with proof given) is that the amount of folks dying % wise is getting lower meaning the virus isn't as strong as originally thought. Eventually over time we will see that and most people will accept that realize we have to go forward and start doing things we used to do.
