Georgia's coronavirus data made reopening look safe.
The numbers were a lie

Original Article

Nothing about the spread of the coronavirus or the nature of the disease suggests that it’s safe to get back to business as usual. And yet “reopen” is the word on almost every American’s lips, despite apocalyptic warnings from public heath experts suggesting that, without an aggressive national public health strategy, the country could face its “darkest winter.”

Comments:

Garbage journalism at its finest. The author accuses Georgia of manipulating its CV data. However the data is public record, proving that infections, hospitalizations, and fatalities are all down since Georgia "opened".

And thank you, LA Times for that blast of biased propaganda. You've defended your State's paralysis, and nothing more.

They are moving the goal posts. The curve to be flattened was never the number of infections nor even the number of deaths. It was the number of daily hospital admissions. Fear of hospital overload was the only reason for the lockdown. The hospitals are not overloaded. In fact they are seriously underloaded. The lockdown has to end. Period.

It was the closing down that was a lie. Never before I’m history, as far as I know, have healthy people been quarantined. Quarantine is for the sick. Is there evidence that people without symptoms spread the disease? It is people who cough and sneeze —symptoms—who spread the germs. This thing has been so overblown that I can see how it can actually cause mental illness. There are certainly a lot of crazies out there with masks worn outdoors and fear of anyone getting too close. I actually heard a woman say she brings a tape measure with her to “distance” from others.

Exactly Matt, BECAUSE opening up for business is what most every American wants, that's why we are doing it. The alternative is to live under the thumb of an idiot and go broke. Oh, by the way, the dire warnings of the experts are wrong, or haven't you heard?

Nice. Totally fact-free editorial acting like news. Checked out the Georgia website and numbers are dropping. But LAT won't let actual data get in the way of their agenda.

Mr. Fleischer is a liar, and has no numbers. I haven't seen any bodies being picked up at job sites, parks, beaches, or restaurants. We have seen a lot of scare tactics. Don't get out of your house, or you might die. But no one leaving their houses has died. Most of the masks have been thrown in the streets. Apparently, mask wearers are not environmentalists and cannot wait until they pass a trash can. As for social distancers, they distance in the stores, but line up inches apart waiting to get inside. The hospitals have furloughed their doctors and nurse because they have no patients. Doctors offices have no one making office visits. The states have no revenue. The damage from this virus should not be measured by the economic damages. Those were caused by politicians, not by the virus.

If Democrats win in November, they already vow to destroy one branch of government and transform the U.S. Senate into another House of Representatives, where a simple majority rules and "fickleness and passion" carry the day, to quote James Madison.

There were 9,268 people in the state’s hospitals with Covid-19 as of Tuesday, another daily record. Public health experts watch hospitalizations closely because it can indicate how severe an outbreak is in an area.

Kamala Harris’ campaign capitalized on her viral debate moment with Joe Biden on Thursday night, making a “That little girl was me” T-shirt available via her campaign website. At the Democratic debate in Miami, Harris attacked Biden’s decades-ago work with segregationist senators, making the point personal by explaining she was a member of only the second class of black children in California to be bused to school in an effort to force desegregation. “That little girl was me,” she said directly to the former vice president.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Pelosi’s HR1 bill a blatant power grab for Democrats 30 replies

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

President Biden on Monday seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event—calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.” Biden was announcing the nomination of two female generals to lead US military combatant commands. “And I want to thank the sec—the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
