The U.S reported some 30,000 new coronavirus cases on Friday, the highest number of daily infections recorded since May 1, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.


New cases across the country are surging faster than ever, especially in states in the South, West and Midwest. Officials are warning that some clusters of infections are apparent among younger people who are crowding bars and parties.


Arizona, Florida, California, Nevada and South Carolina reported record-high single-day increases in COVID-19 infections on Friday. And Florida reported 4,049 new cases on Saturday, which broke another single-day record in the state for a third consecutive day.


The resurgence of the virus across the U.S. comes as states re-open economies after months of lockdowns and people return to normal activities, some of whom do not follow social distancing guidelines and do not wear masks to curb the spread of the virus.

Wonder why these headlines never mention anything about the death rate or number of deaths
Anyone want to take a guess?

Just wondering if anyone would feel differently about this whole situation if your spouse and your parents were in the ICU for 40 days? Then one by one they succumb to this virus and you are left with a broken family and tens of thousands in medical bills. I personally know a person that has passed from covid and let me tell you their family could give a shit about whatever percent the mortality rate is. It hits a lot different when it hits home.

Nope. Wouldn't feel different at all. The guilt trip card doesn't work. Policies for a mass population should not be dependent on individual anecdotes. We've never done that for other infectious diseases. I'm sitting here in Texas looking at what will amount to less deaths than we had with the flu/pneumonia in 2017 and still wondering why there was such a huge government overreach with this. If you've got an environment like New York with that kind of density in such a small area, then sure, treat it differently (that goes for long term care facilities also). But don't just have some stupid blanket policy for areas that have a completely different geographic makeup. That's just idiotic.

On 6/20 583 deaths with a mortality rate of 5.3%. Worldwide COVID numbers overall 8,950,717 infected - 467,410 dead. Flu season 2019-2020 39-56mil infected - 24-62k dead there is no comparison.

I totally agree with you about geography being a huge factor and about the policies. Im just referring to those on here that think COVID is a complete joke because it is not.

I honestly don't think the majority are saying it's a big joke (that's a bit of a straw man). What I've read from most comments here is it was an overreach for many areas and complaints about shutting down the economy for it.

Hard to say what the death rate actually is without knowing how many people were truly infected (and we really don't know that). To me, the easiest way to look at it would be overall death vs population. Last I checked there were more than 7.8 billion people in the world. That comes out to .006% or 6 people for every 100,000. And roughly 43% are in long term nursing facilities in the U.S. (not sure for the world).

Much more damning, when discussing coronavirus, he told the audience falsely that the recent spikes in infections are because there has been more testing: “When you do more testing to that extent, you are going to find more people, you will find more cases. I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please.’”



This is an astonishing admission. More than 120,000 Americans have died of Covid-19 so far, and while in some states hard hit early on numbers of cases are declining, cases are right now spiking in a number of other states in far higher numbers than increased testing would show. Experts agree that the administration’s odd reluctance to test for coronavirus cost American lives. Within hours of his statement, it was being used in a political ad against the president.

Or hospitalizations

It's impossible to find any consistent reporting with our media, very similar when trying to research 9/11 back in the day. All the truther stories dominate the first few pages of results

They'll talking about a surge in cases nationwide, but nothing about testing, hospitalizations and deaths. They'll talk about a surge in hospitalizations in Austin Texas, but not nationwide. Their headlines will scream about deaths increasing by 50% in some place like SD, when deaths go from something like 4 to 6

They predict all kinds of surges after beach parties on Spring Break, pool parties in MO, a barber shop in WI, casinos in CT.... but never follow up on their failed predictions time and time and time again.

Morally bankrupt, intellectually dishonest and in some cases like the Manholes of this world, just ridiculously stupid people

One other thing you fail to keep in mind is that deaths are trending downward in the United States. Why keep just arguing about a cumulative number? There really is nothing that can be done at this point with those that have passed away (although the Useful Idiots will continue to focus on any negativity they can find). If the trend starts going into the other direction on deaths, of course that should be looked at. But if cases and hospitalizations are going up, and deaths are trending down, clearly we are either doing a better job of treating the virus or it simply isn't as bad as it's being made out to be. What other conclusion can you draw from a negative correlation like that? People like the original poster and the other Useful Idiots simply don't understand math and correlation. But they're good at moving goalposts. Please don't be one of them.

Ohio reported over 1600+ cases for the week of 6/3 - 6/10. If one dug in to the numbers actually published on the Ohio Department of Health website you would find that there were 188 confirmed cases that week in the general public out of 11.7M people. The rest of the confirmed cases were unfortunately nursing homes, healthcare workers at nursing homes, and prisons. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning then you do catching this Fauvid -19 hoaxavirus.
