How-ever....if I'm right...whilst you and 46...at least just admit that sometimes believing EVERY liberal viewpoint is NOT valid....????

Notice Fan D, Mostpost and other's haven't SWALLOWED this particular line of thinking on this topic....

Anyways...we'll see...
The Fourth of July will bring people out. Hard to know what will happen. Btw, I have not said anything about Minn.

How do you explain the decline in cases in NYC?

Cam down Mr. Sage. It is too early to tell if Minn is moving up. The GF protests began on 5/26, Wash DD and New York 5/29. Both show declines after memorial day The protests in NYC were larger than Minn.

I am not saying protests did not play ANY part, but not the major part.

Without blowing your stack over liberals, please explain this....

Here is the entire country after memorial day



And here is NYC and D.C.

Here is a NOT "liberal" site Forbes, saying the same thing 46 and I have been saying...

Research Determines Protests Did Not Cause Spike In Coronavirus Cases

Hey maybe the Illuminati in cahoots with George Soros and Joe Biden payed them off?

NY leads the nation in total cases, total deaths and total cases/per million pop.

Could it be that there is no one left in NY to get infected?

I personally hope that none of the protesters get the virus. It will show that letting people outdoors is not a problem.

You are either joking, or out of your mind. Probably both.

Population is over 8 million people. As of today...525K fatalities.

Do the math.

That is a valid point. Protests in NYC perhaps the largest of them all, should have brought about a HUGE spike in cases, if outdoor BLM propitiating were the only cause of spikes throughout the country. NYC and Wash D.C., as I have shown, are declining in cases.

However cases are raging in many states where protests barely occurred.

Now Alburt, can you point a finger to your chest, and spell buffoon?
Again, your post has nothing to do with what I posted.
46 insinuated people were saying protests were the sole cause.
I pointed out that no one was saying that was the only reason. Again, try to follow along intelligently. No fingers were point, just a statement of fact.

Try Craig's List - look for "Elderly caretakers."

YOU have been screaming for a couple of days now that if the crowd is outdoors - aka protests - then not to worry.

When does it sink in for you that no once cares?
*We KNOW there will be spikes.
*They told us there would be spikes.
*We expected spikes.

We accept the risk in order to save the economy and the prosperity of this country.

Forgot the simple statistic that of all the NEW positives, a higher and higher percentage are POSITIVE

Considering that the actual infection rate from every study done is 10x greater than from testing alone, does it really matter? I think more and more Americans are coming to the realization that we never had a real chance to defeat this version of the flu and that to continue the fight is a lost cause. That’s why apathy is increasing across the board.

Increased testing doesn't lead to increased hospitalization rates.

Just compare hosptialization rates for 3 or 4 seasonal flu seasons, derive a median cumulative total, then compare to covid-19 cumulative total.

Seasonal flu is counted Oct 1- March 28. So find a 6 month time frame and do the calculations. I don't think we can do that until around end of September since we didn't really start counting til around March 11th.

I'm not really interested in counting positives since the key when you look at places like Japan is a public health system that focusses on containment. You can test all you wish but w/out really good contact tracing, plus masks and social distancing, you don't achieve containment, at least not in the numbers many nations have achieved.

We know covid-19 is highly contagious, unlike something like tuberculosis which requires very close contact and usually for an extended and concentrated time frame.

As with any really infectious disease you want to contain it of course, so that you cut down on the number of people who might get a more severe form of the disease, which will result in more hospitalizations and/or more deaths.

(at least, that's the public health goal for most every nation on the planet).

It is what it is for now. At some point the data will be available and everyone will have what they need to figure out what happened with this pandemic, both here and elsewhere.

Sounds like a great excuse. Containment is still important.

If not for all the more (altruistic) reasons humans understand, but then at least for the economy, because people don't want to visit places where an infectious disease is out of control. It really slows down economic progress.

Its only a lost cause if you quit. Guess we have a lot of quitters (to hear YOU tell it).

(I was already reading such things in the foreign press, i.e. America has given up, blah blah blah).

I hope doctors and medical workers aren't giving up, and deciding working 12+ hour shifts to save lives is a "lost cause". Better hope the apathy that you describe as "more Americans" having is not going to happen with them. I'm sure they would rather be out having corn dogs and such on any given day.

Meanwhile, not to change the subject, but why aren't the kids back in school for goodness sake?
