    So none of these experts dare mention warmer summer months might be a factor

    That includes mentioning it, and then possibly discounting it, they won't do that, as they know they will look like idiots

    It means not even mentioning it at all

    Which also means none of these experts are currently warning anyone about next winter

    Unfuckingbelievable

    And if Trump had never mentioned the warmer months, what do you think all these experts would be saying now about an upper respiratory disease spread by water droplets in warmer weather?

    U.S. death rate soaring, but more than a third are not caused by COVID-19

    RICHMOND, Va. — The coronavirus pandemic is causing the death rate in the United States to rise to horrifying levels. While many “excess deaths” can be traced directly to the virus, a new study finds a large number of Americans are dying from other causes.

    Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth and Yale universities say the nation saw over 87,000 more deaths than the average for March and April. The report finds COVID-19 is directly responsible for only 65 percent of those fatalities. In 14 states, including California and Texas, more than half of the excess deaths were tied to a cause other than coronavirus

    Just a what if.... What if warmer weather has nothing to do with it?

    That would soooo piss you off, wouldn't it. Wouldn't fit your agenda at all.



    Hey here's another "what if".... What if Trump actually is a fucking moron?

    You really going to stick with that? Do you know how ridiculous you sound?

    The flu, the other coronaviruses that cause the common cold, all year round in the tropics, hit heavier in the winter months for countries like the US in the world's temperate zones. This is well established and documented

    But cannot possibly be the case for this new upper respiratory virus also spread by air droplets.....and all because Trump said it would be less serious in the summer...and that's like the only reason?

    Partisan politics going truly plum loco nuts

    OMFG

    Show me, exactly, where I said that.

    You can't, because I didn't.

    _____________________________________________________

    You are constantly bashing doctors and scientists because they don't know in advance how to deal with something they have never seen before. It doesn't matter if it's "like a cold" or "like the flu" when it's not acting like them. It's new, what if it doesn't react to "summer" the way a cold or the flu does.

    Live updates: U.S. reports record-high average of new coronavirus cases for 28th day


    The mayor of Miami-Dade County said he will re-close restaurant dining rooms, gyms and many other businesses, while West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) made face coverings mandatory for most residents
    inside buildings when social distancing is not feasible. Elected officials have called the rush to reopen a mistake.


    Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma and Puerto Rico hit new highs in their seven-day rolling averages of new cases, while Arizona, North Carolina and South Carolina experienced record coronavirus hospitalizations.


    Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Monday that the United States is “still knee deep in the first wave” of the pandemic.

    Says who? There are spikes everywhere.

    And would you admit that if assume you are correct it's due to left wing views of distancing and not everyone doing what they want like a toddler aka the GOP approach?

    Try this:

    Pick a few random 3-digit numbers

    Type the first 3-digit number into Google search

    Then follow it with new cases

    So it should read "_ _ _ new cases"

    Repeat 3 or 4 times with different numbers.

    Here is the actual interview, 2:40 in, Fauci actually says the average age of people being infected has dropped 15 years, he does not say the average age of patients has dropped by that amount, and yet CNBC reports as if he said patients

    Which is an important distinction if you are trying to get a whole bunch of 20 something's to give a crap

    This is the site they mention for data

    Becuase it's friggin dangerous man, you have 5 more months until December, by which time you will have a lot more people fed up with the lecturing and if you go the next 5 months with no officials or media in your country even mentioning summer vs winter; thus not warning of the threat in 5 months you will also have a lot more people mistrusting those officials, even calling for blood

    For anyone else that is interested, pay attention to Argentina, Australia, Chile in the coming weeks

    A month into our winters, In Argentina the number of cases have tripled in a month, but the number of deaths have also tripled

    Here is Argentina's stats:
    Argentina Coronavirus: 80,447 Cases and 1,582 Deaths - Worldometer


    Chile; not as obvious an increase, but the number of deaths hasn't really slowed

    Australia, we went a month with only a handful of cases, and now all of a sudden 1000 cases in a week out of nowhere near the middle of our winter

    And upper respiratory disease spread by air droplets (and jury is still out on how transmissible it is in other ways) ...how the fuck was that not ever going to be worse in winter?

    You don't think there is at least the possibility you will all surprised again next winter, all because now there are a whole lot of officials that don't want say anything that sounds like they are agreeing with Trump

    Madness

    The Texas Health and Human Services Commission reported 10,028 new cases, which surpasses the state's previous record of nearly 8,260 cases set on July 4.

    Reopening certainly was a good idea.... VG want's more deaths, though, so none of this means anything.

    Ohio, today

    That first blip in April was from the idiots going to church for Easter.... Now we are in a surge because nobody cares. Maybe 10% of the people around here wear masks, few pay any attention to social distancing. After all, it is all a hoax, don't ya know....

    Both graphs look fairly linear though, if I took the dates away, you wouldn't be able to tell where the lockdown ended

    Ohio has be fudging those graphs since they put up the Covid site to make it look more linear. But, the sudden rises are still there. All they have been able to do is "smooth it" somewhat.

    I was posting the numbers here in the beginning, as you recall...As time went on I noticed that what I had posted the day before as "today's" numbers no longer matched what Ohio said that days numbers were... They have been screwing with this from the start.


    But, none of this matters because it's all a hoax and it will just magically disappear...

    VG will simply have to wait until the fall and winter when the coronavirus death toll combines with influenza to produce the greatest tag team champions to come along since
    the undertaker teamed up with kane to produce The Brothers of Destruction...lol...

    Getting more ridiculous:

    "A man working with a youth charity was arrested outside a locked-down public housing tower in Flemington, Melbourne, just before 10pm on Tuesday night while trying to deliver food to residents.

    Dramatic vision of the arrest shows police swarm the man and bring him to the ground, before he yells “I can’t breathe”.

    The scuffle was one of many that took place after charity volunteers argued with police outside 12 Holland Court, where residents have been unable to leave their homes since Saturday."

    ‘I can’t breathe!’ Dramatic tower arrest
