They were on the Res today spreading the Trump Virus, even saw a flag, 1 flag!
That is encouraging, except that now cases are starting to spike among the private school teens who have been back for a few weeks now
Cite your sources, 5:59. Because the MAIS does not agree with you.
Meaningless during holiday. Wait until late next week
Cases are spiking with children? Oh no! None of you covidiots better say anything about those cases having no hospitalizations and almost no symptoms. If it prevents one sneeze it's worth shutting everything down. Your job is not more important than my kids slightly runny nose.
Yup, end of mankind as we know it. Ya'll get your plots picked out and paid for.
5:59 show your proof. Unless you work for a network then it’s ok because they never use proven facts.
In the first three weeks of school ( k-12) there were just over 400 cases of teachers and children testing positive. MSDH doesn't report if this includes private schools.
Children go home so I guess we'll get to see ( if anyone bothers) if they spread it to adults.
I would also point out the reduction in the number of tests.
It is also interesting that consistently, the number of cases is less on a Monday so as not to be indicative of much more than a weekend occurred.
Please note that 60% of cases are not in long term care. Whether we have already wiped out the elderly who were most vulnerable or if perhaps long term care facilities are now taking such strong measures against the virus that they may be the safest places one can be is unclear.
But, I have already seen photos on social media that we've partied on this Labor Day weekend. And, that the new prediction of deaths by year's end will be 400000 with long term effects for the millions.
In three years of the Spanish Flu pandemic, we only killed 675000 Americans. Way to go Covidiots! We are well on the way to breaking a new record! Maybe we can top a million by the end of year 2!( PS read this morning about how vaccines will be distributed and just way until you see how it has to be stored ).
Should you survive, do remember that if you hadn't politicized a virus, the disastrous results would have been far less not just in deaths but to the economy. But, you depended on Hannity, not Fauci.
@7:22, @8:12
My “sources” are that I am a parent of kids in multiple private schools in the metro area and I can tell you definitively that cases among teens are taking off right now in these schools that opened in person a few weeks ago. This is no great surprise or mystery. I can’t answer to what MAIS and MSDH are reporting or not reporting.
Ok. I'll take your word for it. What is the severity of the symptoms? How many will actually have to go to the hospital? How many in the ICU?
Big difference between number of cases and number of hospitalizations, especially if the young are getting mild to light symptoms and moving on.
Valid points, KF. The kids seem to be having mild symptoms if any at all. Nonetheless, the rapid spread is alarming to the adults in their lives.
9:18am is exactly why I don't want to wear a mask or follow any recommendation. Get a fucking grip man. What world do you live in? You really believe 220K more are going to die over the next 3.75 months? Have you noticed that they keep making these massive death count predictions that we never come close to approaching. That's because it is a bad cold, not ebola. Seriously, grow up, grow a pair and get on with life. I can't believe little ninnies like you exist. How in the hell did those genes survive?
To 12:38,
Actually, the model often cited by the White House predicted 74,000 C-19-related deaths by August 4. https://khn.org/morning-breakout/popular-model-adjusts-forecast-to-74k-u-s-deaths-by-august-excess-deaths-reveal-gap-between-reality-official-total/
According to the CDC, we are now at 188,000 deaths as of September 7. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases
So, the following statement that you made is demonstrably false: "[T]hey keep making these massive death count predictions that we never come close to approaching."
Also, C-19 is a blood-clotting disease, which is different from a "bad cold." https://news.weill.cornell.edu/news/2020/07/what-is-known-about-covid-19-and-abnormal-blood-clotting
Just because some people are repulsive to you doesn't mean you should run in the opposite direction. Perhaps you also need to grow up.
12:38pm: No you get a grip and read 1:37pm for a much needed dose of reality. Wear your mask and follow the distancing guidelines. Yes, grow up and quit rebelling against a virus stronger than you.
Move on.
