A top federal health official is issuing a dire warning: Follow recommended coronavirus measures, or this could be “the worst fall, from a public health perspective, we’ve ever had.” According to a report by CNN, Johns Hopkins University says coronavirus has infected more than 5 million people and killed over 166,000 nationwide. There were 55,910 reported new cases and 1,499 deaths, on Wednesday alone - the highest number of fatalities since May. “For your country right now and for the war that we’re in against COVID, I’m asking you to do four simple things: wear a mask, social distance, wash

I was chatting with an MD buddy, and his opinion is that once flu season hits, wearing masks all the time is the equivalent of defecating in your underwear and keeping them on...

" There were 55,910 reported new cases and 1,499 deaths, on Wednesday alone"
Was Wednesday the latest statistical catch-up day? I want to see a breakdown of how many of those counts were CONFIRMED (versus suspected, which seem to affect the cause-of-death statistics more than the live cases). And how many of those deaths were actually CAUSED by the virus (versus just being ACCOMPANIED by the virus). Also how many of those deaths actually occurred Tuesday or Wednesday (versus ones that happened last month, but had not been added when they occurred for some variety of reasons and were added Wednesday to reconcile the books).
These manners of statistical monkey-business, alone, could account for the hyperbolic reports being churned out almost daily by NYT/CNN/WaPo propagandists.

Yes, it "could be".
But, then again, it certainly "could not be".
Amazing the way that that "could" word means absolutely nothing!!!!!
As others have said, as long as rioters march through the streets without any limitations or controls, then the scare tactics the government is using to try to control the peasants are just that -- scare tactics!!!!

I suspect we all knew that they are trying to milk this until the regular flu season starts. That is when the fun will begin. Tyranny is arriving in dribs and drabs, and pretty soon it is going to cover the constitution in its muck.

There’s a difference between cases and being in the ICU...

Nobody is pushing back on this stuff except some columnists, talk-show hosts, and Trump (sort of).

Masks have been around a long time. If CDC would publish some convincing evidence, rather than blather, that they are effective in preventing any viral disease as used in our population, perhaps people would consent to using them. Unfortunately, for mask hustlers, there is no such evidence. Doesn't mean that the Lone Ranger didn't benefit.

I have no problems with social distancing, washing hands and avoiding crowds, that is common sense.
Screw their damned masks.

I have no problem with masks, social distancing and washing hands, however I have COPD and getting sicker. None of these overpaid geniuses ever consider those with lung disease?

As long as big crowds of rioters and looters are exempt from these edicts, I'm taking them with a grain of salt.
