cletus johnson: Though I agree with the essence of your comment, you cannot use obscenities on Behind the Black. (See the rules just above the “Last 15 comments” box as well as this post.) I have deleted them.

This is a warning. The next time you will be suspended for a week. The third time you will be banned.

the case rate went up because the testing went up by 23%. we know that. andrew w is a [deleted].

they are admitting people to hospitals in tx for one thing, and then changing the designation to virus later. a hospital administrator in tx has confirmed this. likely the chickens are coming home to roost on the health issues from a lockdown that actual science, that was ignored by the hoaxers, projected before the lockdown.

They ignored real science and used phony models to lockdown. they included everything including gunshot would deaths as virus deaths. they ramped up the testing at the appropriate time to proclaim a second wave. they are saying the hospitals are full fo virus patients when they were admitted to the hospital for something else.

this is par for the course with democrats. All they do is lie. Everyone knows that. The disappointing part is republican governors who go along with this [deleted]. what a bunch of pansies they are.

The trend is down on hospitalizations and deaths. I don’t care about infections cause I see that as more immunity, plus tests per day are up 3x.

Also, @Nightfall: “‘New cases’ That means any positive report of the virus, including antibodies …”
No. “New cases” as discussed here and in the data source Bob linked refers to new positive antigen tests (meaning you are currently infected) and does not include antibody tests (meaning you were once infected). I’m not sure where antibody tests are tracked, or if states are even reporting them regularly. Do you know?

(I am still expecting to see it climb again, but it hasn’t even bottomed out yet.)

These retrospective additions make tracking difficult, so some projects attempt to roll them back into the historical data, but many states aren’t providing the data necessary to determine which deaths occurred on which dates.

Wow, I am so glad that these locally manufactured covud masks are keeping us alive, all the while supporting our neighborhood industries.

I really like the ones made from “imported” Hawaiian moo moo colorful material.

I noticed that questioning COVID19 hysteria is now a thoughtcrime, thus explaining Andrew_W’s failure to respond to my posts.

That’s picking what I think are fair representations of start and end numbers for that period.

Has it? In the past two months we went from testing thousands a day to tens of thousands and now 500,000 a day. It is an amazing accomplishment that our media keeps lying about. Increased testing is spotting more Who wouldn’t have but there are also more people interacting now the lockdowns are over and the race riots.

Where I live, cases have gone up with anywhere from 10-50 new cases each day but hospitalizations has remained constant at 1-2 new ones each day.

Mocked for putting “feelings” over fact.
Mocked for pushing for a failed socio-economic system from the last century.
Mocked for ignoring basic biology.
Mocked for for their own self destructive internal bickering.
Mocked for everything that political correctness compels them to say and do.
And most importantly, mocked for actually believing their own fallacious tripe.

Kevin R: . . due to increased testing?
Certainly in part, as would a long term divergence between the number of cases and number of deaths, the recent increase in cases has been faster that the rate of increase in testing, and I expect to see that divergence.

Sabasarge: . . my suggestion would be to wait a week and either come back here to gloat, or alternatively eat crow.
My suggestion is that you should make that suggestion to Mr. Zimmerman.

FURTHERMORE, how do the mask fanatics manage to ignore all the people they’re killing by keeping them out of the hospitals and doctors’ offices for small stuff like, oh, I don’t know — heart disease, cancers going undetected? and everything else that has been broomed to make way for this ONE BUG?

It’s crazy: the bodies are piling to the sky on the other pan of the scales, but the relatively small death toll of this one disease is all they are staring at, like the guy in Clockwork Orange.

Not to mention the thousands of doctors and hospitals who had to furlough nurses and docs — hey, that’s not harming anyone, right? Oh, wait: I thought this flu-type thing was going to swamp all the hospitals? My bad: that was the excuse for the initial “two weeks” house arrest of all the healthy people. That is So 3 months ago…

Freedom? bah, humbug! who needs freedom? and the same people who say that, claim that slavery was the worse evil in the world. Harriet Tubman, Republican, gun-owner, radical freedom-lover, would be disgusted with them, throwing our freedom out the window for THIS.

Freedom brings risks. Grow up. If you’re so terrified of this flu-like illness, you are perfectly free to STAY HOME and let the rest of us get on with life.

A few states do show significant increases in the number of new cases, but almost all of these show continuously declining or constant number of new deaths, even up to three weeks following the start of the increase in new cases.

Prolonged mask use results in an increase in carbon dioxide, and a decrease on oxygen, in your blood. Result, increased risk of strokes and heart attacks. Do you have hypertension? Do not wear a mask, it could kill you.
