Here’s some contraband, some non-fake news. If you repeat it, you might get face-masked. If you’re a nail salon owner trying to feed your family, you might get thrown in jail. I assume it will be banned from Facemaskbook.
Here it is. The virus numbers are dropping. In hard-hit Italy and Spain, the numbers peaked around the end of March – over five weeks ago. Both daily new cases and daily deaths are now down over 70%, as shown in these graphs.

It will be interesting to see if the Second Wave™ notion gets any traction.

I work with a UNMC OR/ER nurse. She said last week, they had 7 people out of 100 test positive for CV, and they all went home. Yet, daily we get hysterical body counts from the Omaha World-Herald about increasing numbers and deaths in Nebraska.

#3, same in Ohio, where the national news is far out of line with our state data.
Has anyone noticed the weekly cycle in the death data as presented by Glenn Beaton? Apparently, people prefer to die during the week instead of on the weekend. How can that be?

fta: By the way, here’s a dog-that-didn’t-bark piece of evidence. Why aren’t vagrants – er, I mean the housing impaired – dropping like flies? And what are the implications of that in managing the disease for the rest of us?
A point I made several days ago when my city, Nashville, tested 600 homeless and found 116 to be positive and mostly asymptomatic. Only one was hospitalised, the rest being quarantined. These are not folks who take good care of themselves, live exposed in the elements, nor have ample access to medical care and yet they aren't dropping over dead in the streets. No media seem completely incurious about this. If this virus is so deadly we need to shut everything down, wreck our economy, and change life as we know it forever, why are quite simply the must medically vulnerable in our communities (outside of the residents of long term nursing facilities) almost untouched?

#4, yes, I too have noticed the weekly cycles in the deaths. If you go to the source site, https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/, you'll notice a similar weekly cycle in "new cases." I assume this is all because fewer reports are delivered on weekends. (Bear in mind that the reorts ultimately come from hospitals and clinics, some of which may not be staffed fully administratively on weekends.)

The daily body count drives me nuts too. Reminiscent of the Vietnam War. And you know the number is inflated.
Why don't we add cancer, heart disease, suicide, and other causes too. Just to lift our spirits.

Yes, the numbers for homeless are extremely interesting, and therefore being purposely avoided by all the "experts" and common-taters. Since they're obviously not sheltering at home, not maintaining social distancing, and definitely not wearing masks, maybe some enterprising reporter who wishes to receive the coveted Pullet Surprise might be brave enough to ask both Dr. StrangeFlu and Dr. Scarf how it's possible that their numbers are not only not worse than the general population but also in some cases much better.
Go for it, journalistas.

#9, good appellations for the two DSers.
If they keep on insisting on unconstitutional 'lockdowns', they may be called by the names in the song title from The Alan Parson's Project; Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether.

New Mexico remains in shut down because of groups or pockets of quarantine resistors that don't follow instructions it's called Indian Reservations. New Mexico's governess is pathetic and will finish off this state financially where it won't be fit to give to the illegals streaming across our southern border.

I've noticed that the IHME Covid-19 Projections website that use to chart daily deaths in all countries in the world as well as each State in the United States stopped posting actual numbers on May 1st with just "projections" going forward. Previously they only lagged by a day or two at most. Here in Louisiana the body count has been dropping significantly but you can't verify this with projection tracking. Something is rotten in Denmark and everywhere else!

From the article, "Rather, the reason is the upcoming election.". That's all it is in a nutshell. It's all about defeating President Trump.

I would like to see a graph showing total number of deaths across the 4 month period for 2020 compared to the last 5 years, not deaths due to what some are attributing to Chicom flu but all deaths. I would like to see how this virus has affected the total number of deaths. It isn't hard to come up with that data--I wouldn't think.

Want to protect yourself from this disease? Take CoQ10 and a large dose of vitamin D3, and eat bell peppers (and no other kind of peppers) a few times a week. It's not foolproof, but you will dramatically decrease your chances of catching and dying from the virus.

It's almost like they'd rather see Trump fail than see America succeed.
