CHICAGO — The world has entered a “new and dangerous phase” of the coronavirus pandemic, a top official from the World Health Organization said on Friday, a stark warning that came as the United States struggled to control spiraling outbreaks and as business leaders signaled growing unease with the country’s ability to effectively contend with the virus. Coronavirus cases spiked sharply across the American South and West, particularly in states that loosened restrictions on businesses several weeks ago. In Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Arizona, daily counts of new coronavirus cases reached their highest levels of the pandemic this week.

Why isn't the WHO worried about some third world country with poor healthcare? They get their numbers from us and put out a fear mongering headline to the world.

A "dangerous phase"; oh yeah, sure. The dangerous phase was the 60 days in the beginning that the WHO failed to warn us about.

When you do more testing, guess what, you find more cases. After today's rally I predict future media reports will be about the "huge" number of people that got infected there.

There are stories out there that mandatory COVID testing before elective surgeries has padded the “hospitalization” numbers. This is another example of the media, and some in the medical community, trying to create reality, rather than report on it. How many people actually know a COVID patient, much less one experiencing a severe case or death?

Of course there are going to outbreaks... there's no vaccine. No one is NOT going to get it in some form or other.

Fake news, Fake news. WHO and the CDC blew it at the beginning of this crisis with completely false information and they should not be believed now. There is an agenda and they can't help themselves. Due to the rioting, there should be a huge spike in every city where rioting took place but there is not. People began going to the beaches in the South and West while businesses were still closed. If there happened to be a spike that is the most logical reason.

#7 is right. You’re going to be exposed. A large number of the most vulnerable have already become casualties. The death rates and ventilator requirements will not return to the peak numbers.
Herd immunity is still a long way off, but it is almost certainly the only way this epidemic ends. Everything else is manufactured drama.

Number of"cases" is irrelevant. How many "cases" of flu are there every year? No one knows because no one "tests" for flu because they know the number of "cases" is irrelevant and undeterminable. People get sick, people stay home, some see a doctor, people recover, people get back to work and school. Some people recover with hospitalization. Some people die. Illness happens to UNTOLD thousands every year. WHO and the media don't go nuts over it.
How many hospitalizations and how many deaths IS news-worthy, relevant and determinable.
Unless humanity in the 21st century really is scared put of our minds over the possibility that we might get sick and recover like people have forever, obsessing over how many people get sick is nothing but the politicization of illness and medicine.
Today, the number of US Covid-19 deaths is a couple of thousand more than the number of flu deaths in 1958. Worldwide deaths are about 40% of the number of 1958 flu deaths. The populations of the USA and the world are hugely greater than in 1958. Per capita, Covid-19 has been milder than the 1958 flu. But who would know that from listening to the media or world governments?
I have been sick a time or two over the years. I stayed home from school, I took sick days from work, I may have seen a doctor, I recovered. I never blamed anyone for my illness. I doubt many rational people have.

Wait for it to hit hardest in September, and for lockdowns and the whole schmear as the Karens and Dr. Faucis rule the earth again guided by "science" and models. Our national motto will become "Told You" and the penalties will be more severe. The Sheeple will go along meekly. They still are and always will do.

Don't believe a word of this tripe. Don't let this garbage into your psyche. Once you believe and buy into an alleged fear and acknowledge it, then it will manifest into your life. This is what they want to do. We are living in evil times folks.

Doing the bidding of their Chinese masters.
China is losing to Trump, desperate to get him out of power so that the Communists in the Dem party can start helping them to destroy the USA again.

Also keep in mind that there is not a 1:1 correlation of positive tests to individual people. Each person that tests positive gets multiple tests until negative. Make sure your state/county data reporting counts PEOPLE and not TESTS as the case number.

Agree with #1 on the BeeEss flag. Not one mention of the BLM riots, protests or CHAZ/CHOP lack of social distancing or wearing masks. What are the numbers of Covid in those areas? We'll never know because this is about shutting down business, keeping sane and obedient people inside their homes while the insane left ruins our economy.

If you believe the media reports, the only time since March when Coronavirus wasn't a during threat was earlier this month, when thousands mobbed the streets, protesting, rioting, and looting.

Just laying the groundwork for the next big lefty selloff on Wall Street. Blame it on CV19, but its really being done to damage Trump, and they have no regard for anyone else that gets hurt in the process.

Substantially, apart from quibbles, the reporter is a liar. I keep saying it, reading the NYT makes you dumber. Here is a perfect example of what i mean. Take in this reporter's implications and you'll be dumber than you were ten minutes ago. It really works.
