COVID deaths still declining

[mikewhitney]

A rather macabre conservative eugenic view of the pandemic. To stay home the conservatives need a leash.

You are freaky scary -- the things going on in your head.

The leash of fear has already been use on the masses.

You are far more freaky and scary rejecting the only measures that we have as preventive measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. your previous post reflects this macabre eugenics approach.

Ok. the stupid people should just stay home then.

This is fun.

Hint: It is not 'fun.'

I mean I am having fun countering your silly remarks. The actual virus is a problem because so many people have been tricked into thinking HCQ is ineffective in treatment against the virus.

It would be nicer if you reminded people of that truth instead of just leaving people hopeless. But I suppose that hopelessness is just part of human nature.

I remain confounded that you, who has shown interest in science, rejects the scientific studies on hydroxychloroquine. You end up trusting the media instead of your own scientific instincts.

We agree, then.

But they probably won't.

Right now, most of the people who are "not staying home" are liberals. They are on the news every single day.

Need something to support this questionable assertionwith conservatives bt the thousands attending biking conventions, church services, and thumbing their butts riddiculing the pandemic it is not the liberals that "not staying home."

...He called it a Democrat hoax...

Just watch the news. Every night for the last 3 months you see tens of thousands of liberals out "protesting" in cities across the USA. One bike convention and a few church services are a drop in the ocean compared to the liberals not staying home.

It is not a few, and your clearly underestimating the opening up of conservative states and the resulting spread, the spread of Covid-19 in churches, bars an and gatherings like the biker convention. Conservatives to a large extent openly reject wearing masks and social distancing. Your over stating the impact of the riots concerning the apread of COVID-19. The evidence is just not there.

Protests don’t appear to be driving coronavirus surge in Seattle area or elsewhere, researchers say

Spring brought a wave of cancellations that shut down professional baseball, basketball, concerts, movie theaters, youth sports, school plays, camping in state parks and all sorts of other events to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Then, on May 25, came the brutal death of George Floyd as a Minneapolis police officer held a knee to his neck, an act of violence that set off large protests in a powerful grassroots justice movement that also unfolded as a kind of mass experiment about the risks of such outdoor gatherings amid a global pandemic.

More than one month after Floyd’s death, the number of COVID-19 cases is rising in some parts of Washington state, including the Seattle area, and the national tally of new cases last week reached all-time highs.

But some researchers say that the protests do not appear to be significantly driving this surge. This helps bolster the case that the coronavirus generally does not transmit as easily outdoors, where even a gentle breeze can help diffuse the virus, compared to confined indoor spaces.

“I would say that outside makes a big difference because of much more air circulation,” said Dr. Jared Baeten, a vice dean at the University of Washington’s School of Public Health, who donned a mask and joined in the June 12 March of Silence through Seattle that drew an estimated 60,000 people.

In King County, the epicenter of Washington’s protests, health investigators have tracked — during a 19-day span in June — less than 5% of 1,008 total positive cases to people who attended protests. In other cities, including Minneapolis and Portland, researchers have yet to find that protests, where many were masked, have caused major spikes in cases.

Can you cite any references whatsoever that show cities where the COVID-19 spread due to the riots? In the Southern States there have been no wide spread riots, but COVID-19 spread out of control. Premature opening up and openning schools in the South has lead to tracable spread of COVID-19.

I have not wished Dems to die but only suggested that by politicizing the use of HCQ, Dems [...]

Drumpf politicized it, and he's a Republican.

He rightfully told about the medicine.

He politicized it. He called it a Democrat hoax. He blamed states' response to it on Democrats. He accused Democrats of trying to use it to take him down.

Drumpf politicized this pandemic. You lied when you said that Democrats did.

Quote him directly.

Quote him yourself. What I said is true regardless of whether he was referring to the virus or his administration's response to it: he politicized the pandemic.

But you knew that when you ripped my quote out of context, didn't ya?

I'm confused. You note the correct statement that Dems improperly closed down their economies -- but somehow this is inaccurate? Are you saying also that Dems fully support the use of HCQ as part of a proper treatment? or do you admit that the Dems rejected HCQ against the scientific knowledge? The Dems rejection of HCQ appears to be purely policitical -- perhaps because Trump recommended its use. And he is right.

So what is your point? Plus, I don't think you ever gave the quote of Trump requested by Bill The Cat. Instead, you quoted what you said Trump said.

Are we missing something? Trump gave criteria for closing and openning up. Southern Republican states openning up to soon and now are shutting down under a surge of infections. Why are you accusing ONLY Democratic states?

Then you liberals should be happy! All of the evil conservatives who go to church and bars will catch COVID-19 and die while the liberals hide in their basement except to safely riot in the streets where COVID-19 can't get them. That will assure your victory in the election, since all of the conservatives will be too sick or dead to vote.

Huh!?!?!? I guess no response is forthcoming. Oxi gave the facts in another thread the majority by far in the recent surge of the pandemic is in Southern states.

No. You made the false claim. Back it up. Quote him where he said the VIRUS was a hoax.

What I said is true regardless of whether he was referring to the virus or his administration's response to it: he politicized the pandemic.

Then you're an admitted liar. You SPECIFICALLY said he called the virus a hoax, and you are now admitting he didn't.
