New COVID-19 Cases Soar, But New Deaths Decline As Younger Patients Recover

Loading

Even though new coronavirus infections are rising in America and around the world, new coronavirus deaths are largely flat, a trend largely missing from most mainstream media coverage.


 
Experts say the fact that new coronavirus deaths appear to remain flat is driven by more younger patients getting infected and recovering amid reopenings as the worst of the pandemic passes. 

On Wednesday evening, the Washington Post issued a breaking news email alert headlined “New coronavirus cases in the U.S. soar to highest single-day total.”

“Across the United States,” reported the Post, “more than 36,000 new infections were reported by state health departments on Wednesday — surpassing the previous single-day record of 34,203 set on April 25.”

Yet the article failed to mention that even while new infections are on the rise, new COVID-19 deaths are not. 

This vital information gap in the media is causing some health policy experts to worry that fear about the coronavirus — evidenced, for example, by Wednesday’s sharp stock market drop — is not founded in facts, particularly about how the virus disparately impacts different age groups. The spreading of unfounded alarm, the experts fear, could risk deep harm to Americans’ livelihoods and mental health due to a prolonged, widespread shutdown.

The coronavirus has ravaged elderly populations in nursing homes and those with underlying comorbidities, but now the virus appears to be striking those who are younger and healthier and more able to withstand the disease and return to life normally. 

Vanderbilt University School of Medicine professor Dr. William Schaffner, who specializes in preventive medicine and infectious diseases, noted in an interview with Just the News that for example, in Florida, reports indicate that it is middle-aged and younger adults now being hit with COVID-19.

Data from Oxford University show that even though the confirmed daily reported COVID-19 cases have been ticking up in the United States in recent days (as testing has soared), daily confirmed deaths have not risen. 

Similar trends are seen worldwide, according to Oxford: Daily confirmed cases have been rising, but daily confirmed deaths have not.

Hmmm…. more younger patients. And mostly young participants in the protests/riots/looting. The “protests” were out of control, raucous, chaotic, crowded and violent. The reopening has been measured, metered, controlled and regulate.

But I’m sure it’s the fault of the reopening.

They do leave out vital information, thats what they do, fear mongering, OMG the only exit strategy is a Big Pharma vaxx. Keep those hospitals empty except fill the rooms with PPE and unused ventilators.
Finally get to go in for that kidney stone and show positive. Get the stone blasted stay the night and become a statistic and sent home to self quarantine.

Yeah, pedal that spin machine, Tyler. (Tyler Durden, by the way, was an anarchist. Don’t people who saw the movie get that?)

New deaths are not declining. It should take only a moment of critical thought to realize “new deaths decline” is a three word nonsensical meme hiding logically flawed and deliberately misleading reasoning. New deaths necessarily represent an increase in total fatalities, and that number will increase even more rapidly as the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations surges, which is now happening alarmingly in a number of states. Pence just conducted the first White House press conference in months because of that. The Good News wasn’t actually there.

Did it occur to anyone that nearly all of the most worrisome surges are in southern red states? That correlates with blowing off social distancing protocols sooner, and with having politicized and made negative even so obvious a common sense response as wearing protective masks in public. It’s cause and effect. Pay less attention, and the virus does exactly what it’s expected to do.

The surge should also rid us of any hopeful notion that the virus is “just going to go away” with the advent of warm weather.

127,154 U.S. COVID-19 deaths, as of this afternoon, at the beginning of new multi-state surges. That is reality. Deal with reality, or reality will deal with you.

@Greg: We know when faced with facts you must go into full denial mode. The fear porn must flow from the technocrats mouth pieces.
The chart above is clear deaths per day dropping testing rising with confirmed cases.
The democrats pretty much killed off as many elderly as possible, red states protecting frail and elderly who are less likely to go to the tavern and play the pick up game.
Ok to gather by the thousands if you are protesting, germs dont get those idiots the CDC said so, there are your experts for you, follow the science.

@kitt, #4:

One hour later, and the U.S. death count is now up to 127,308.

Reality is what it is, not what some politician claims it to be. My suggestion is to wear a mask when you go out, practice social distancing, and avoid crowds altogether. Trump probably won’t notice.

@Greg: A a responsible older adult I have actually sewn masks for myself and family, these young folk in bars socializing are at little to no chance of death. 1 fat quarter will give you enough material to make 2 surgical style masks, we have hand sanitizer in the vehicles and use it after shopping. We plan out shopping trips with lists, get in, hunt, chuck it in the cart, pay leave.
Camp is 5 acres in the middle of nowhere only 1 or 2 neighbors drop by never get out of their golf carts or UTVs and the census lady stopped in a local she doesnt fear no trespassing signs when she sees people around, her city boy partner turned his car around and tucked tail never delivering anything.
We know the masks are zero protection, we dont feel patriotic or heroic wearing them. The virus is so tiny it passes right through the N95 masks.
Plenty to do at home restoring the porch on the 1905 craftsman house, nothing is standard home depo so sweeties skills crafting custom parts comes in very handy.
You left out where most of the death happened, germy filthy crowded subways, placing infected patients in with frail and elderly, still no where near 2.2 million deaths projected by technocrats and converted climate models, lowest deaths in places that had no lockdown. 0 deaths reported in Wisconsin today we are open for business but being responsible adults.
Less than 10% of all ICU beds are occupied not all with the virus only 262 patients state wide.
Quit panicking about this pandemic just do what you need to do.
Just because we dont panic, when they give daily death numbers, doesnt mean what the boob tube is telling you. Yes those people are dead, but was it the virus or their untreated, because of the virus, conditions and they happened to test positive?
GTFO of Joy” Behar’s car driving around looking for those that dont wear masks.

@Greg: Continuing the fear mongering. The rampant, massed, screaming, rioting mobs have blown open the spread of the virus. The left plays a game of misery and fear.

Check out these amazing phenomena occurring in two of the largest and most Republican states led by two Republican Governors:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) ordered bars to close and restaurants to reduce occupancy, and he gave local governments authority to ban outdoor gatherings of more than 100 people. The changes came as statistics show 1 in 10 Texans tested is positive for the novel coronavirus and the state’s largest hospital is at capacity in its intensive care unit.

In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) ordered bars to close immediately Friday because of “widespread noncompliance” with rules regarding capacity and social distancing.

Of course, those governors are rolling back their “relaxation” of virus-containment measures because they caught some late-night virus “panic-porn,” right?

And the European Union is prohibiting Americans from traveling to Europe because Why? Because they’re just giving Trump a taste of his own medicine?

LOL! When are you going to realize that denying the obvious for the sake of not embarrassing Trump gets you nowhere.

The first sentence of this article is 80% correct. It only fails when it casually tosses in an explanation that all this is happening “as the pandemic passes.”
Where did the idea come from that the worse of this pandemic is in the process of “passing”?
We’ll not have a clue about when this thing will be over until the virus is darned near gone, and as all parts of this pandemic – except for the part about young people addressed in that first sentence – is ripping along at an ever-increasing pace, we’ll not soon see the end of this.

Pay attention. Texas and Florida aren’t exactly run by a bunch of liberals, and no, DM, it isn’t a bunch of BLM rioters who are clogging the ICU’s there in Texas. Listen to the GOP feet on the ground. They’re not spinning Trumpist BS. They’re fighting for their citizens’ lives.

@George Wells: Thanks, protesters.

@Deplorable Me: Both LBJ and Ben Taub are transferring patients from the emergency areas to other hospitals. Both hospitals reported high capacity before the pandemic. But its all about businesses that have been opened for 3 weeks. No car accidents, shootings, strokes heart attacks or any other things that could land you in ICU.

@George Wells: Sure Georgie its all about covering for Trump who has no control of reopening states, or the guidelines they set. All about Trump yuppers.

Quit panicking about this pandemic just do what you need to do.

Trying to wake up people who have been listening to Trump’s continuous stream of dangerous pandemic misinformation, denial, and utter nonsense is not panicking. The reporting and warnings we’ve been hearing for weeks on the mainstream media were not alarmist. They were accurate and fully warranted.

Has it registered yet that hydroxychloroquine is utterly useless? Or that instructions to wear masks in public and stay home as much as possible aren’t part of a a leftist plot to take away individual freedom? When danger is entirely real, panic is what comes of not having paid attention, or of paying attention to liars.

@Greg: hydroxychloroquine is utterly useless nope, no clinical trials have proven that. They did release one that was proven a hoax, you might have seen that on the news. This Trump thing you bitterly cling to along with the psedo science of models. You know who lied? Who spread deadly misinformation? Fauchi, W.H.O. , certain public health official, directly contradicting the CDC. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/04/public-health-protests-301534.
Just gonna do my thing, live as normally as possible, and not listen to covid pussie Karens like you who worry about shit that happens where they will never visit. If those experts say hundreds can gather to protest or topple a statue safely but a t-ball game cant happen, it causes me to say they are not worthy of my attention.

@Greg: New deaths are not declining. It should take only a moment of critical thought to realize “new deaths decline” is a three word nonsensical meme hiding logically flawed and deliberately misleading reasoning. New deaths necessarily represent an increase in total fatalities…..

The NUMBER of new deaths daily is declining in most states Greg.

Even in Washington state with all its protests:
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/state-timeline/new-deaths/washington

Even in Minnesota with all their protests:
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/state-timeline/new-deaths/minnesota

Louisiana, a “hot spot,” has only a minor growth in new deaths altho a major spike in new cases:
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/state-timeline/new-deaths/louisiana/0
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/state-timeline/new-confirmed-cases/louisiana/0

Texas is also a so-called hot spot, but new cases are far greater than new deaths:
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/state-timeline/new-confirmed-cases/texas/0
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/state-timeline/new-deaths/texas/0

New cases means more tests, about 1/2 million per day nationally.
But, for instance, when I went in for a dermatology appt., I also got tested for covid 19.
(I was negative, in case you’re interested.)
When you’re feeling good, still able to smell and taste your food and they STILL test you, it might be that you’re negative, like me, or that you had it and were Asymptomatic, like most of their new “cases.”

@Deplorable Me:

Thanks, protesters.

What, and no shout out of thanks for the churches who congregated against advice and so spread their disease?
What, no shout out of thanks to the kids who mass unprotected on Florida beaches and elsewhere, and in bars EVERYWHERE to share their viruses?
ONLY thanking protesters who are protesting against something you hold dear – like police brutality – smacks of selective blindness.

Unlike myself, who often enough has called out Obama and Hillary, for example, for THEIR mistakes, you can’t bring yourself any where NEAR a fair assessment of YOUR leaders, all too happy to make pretend they are already perfect. Typical Republican fantasy. See where it gets you in November.

@kitt:

Sure Georgie its all about covering for Trump who has no control of reopening states, or the guidelines they set.

Trump has been leaning on governors to reopen ever since he figured out that if the economy was still in the hole come November, he’d be out of a job. Even talked about FORCING resisting governors and their states to reopen if they didn’t do as he said. His Task Force laid out guidelines, then he pushed them aside – both the guidelines and the Task Force – and he leaned some more. Now, the Texas governor admits he opened Texas too soon and is shuttering bars, and Miami is closing beaches ahead of the 4th of July. More fallout will follow. People who took Trump’s advice over that of the experts are paying the price, and the price will continue to rise in the weeks ahead. Experts are called ‘experts” for a reason. Trump isn’t an expert. He just has bad hunches.

@George Wells: He was not forcing anyone to do anything, the goal was met, governors except ours, opened as they saw fit. He tried to lean on governors allowing rioting and summers of love.You are totally delusional, and cannot show any examples of forced openings. He sent supplies to states that requested them to fight the pandemic.

@retire05:

Texas is back-pedaling.
Texas Governor says Texas opened too soon.

WHY?

@George Wells: Perhaps he believes if he shuts down for a week the under 35s will begin to behave more responsibly. That is unfortunate for the business owners. Read retire 05s link, this is all over blown.

@Greg:

Trying to wake up people who have been listening to Trump’s continuous stream of dangerous pandemic misinformation, denial, and utter nonsense is not panicking.

Yeah, we saw how seriously the left took the pandemic as they swarmed to the streets in the tens of thousands, night after night after night, rioting and looting over a tragedy liberal propaganda turned into racism.

Has it registered yet that hydroxychloroquine is utterly useless?

Due to the thousands of examples of positive effects… no, your propaganda has not registered.

@George Wells:

What, and no shout out of thanks for the churches who congregated against advice and so spread their disease?

You mean those that were distancing and wearing masks?

What, no shout out of thanks to the kids who mass unprotected on Florida beaches and elsewhere, and in bars EVERYWHERE to share their viruses?

Again, distancing, out in the open, in the sun. Also, not tens of thousands every day, not bunched together in packed mobs, screaming, spitting, rioting, looting.

His Task Force laid out guidelines, then he pushed them aside – both the guidelines and the Task Force – and he leaned some more.

No, he didn’t. The guidelines and science-based directives were followed.

Funny, the spikes began just after the riots. But, I’m sure there’s no connection.

@Deplorable Me:

Funny, the spikes began just after the riots.

Wrong.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott opened the State of Texas on April 28.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that he opened Texas too soon.
That means that Abbott THINKS that opening Texas on April 28 caused the spike.
George Floyd was killed on May 25.
The race riots in Texas began on May 29.
Any COVID-19 cases acquired during race riots would have taken about two weeks to present symptoms, meaning that the virus’s symptoms would first show up in Texas around June 12.
Texas’s own graph of COVID-19 cases shows the spike began somewhere around April 30, after remaining essentially flat from April 8 to 29.
The number of Texas COVID-19 cases began to rise exponentially on May 26, the DAY after Floyd’s murder, but three days BEFORE the first Floyd murder protests in Texas. The virus’s incubation period of approximately two weeks puts the first “riot” cases showing up sometime after June 12, and community spreading from those cases would only start to show up about now.
But remember, Texas’s cases have been rising exponentially since May 26.
So don’t blame what is happening in Texas on Floyd protesters.
They’re not HELPING to mitigate the virus, but the surge in cases that the governor is now fighting didn’t come from protesters. It came from opening too soon, just like the Governor said.

You should listen to the Governor.

@George Wells: Texas Health Resources, one of the state’s largest hospital systems, says on its website that its “patients [are] tested before most procedures.” Elective surgeries and other medical procedures in Texas have gone up in recent weeks as the state has gradually re-opened following its lockdown. I guess Abbot thinks they were all rafting and bar hopping before scheduled surgery, Abbot should listen to his own health care people at ground zero.

@George Wells:

The number of Texas COVID-19 cases began to rise exponentially on May 26

You’re full of shit.

On June 1st, the number of cases in Texas was for that day 593. June 8th, 638. Then the cases started going up on June 15 when they went down for two days. The current spike started on June 23rd. The highest daily death count of 58 was on
May 14th. Most of the new cases are in the 20-39 age bracket.

So don’t blame what is happening in Texas on Floyd protesters.

Yeah, all those tens of thousands of protesters in Houston and Dallas didn’t have anything to do with it even though they were not social distancing and many, MANY did not wear masks.

https://www.newsweek.com/houston-protesters-begin-fall-ill-coronavirus-after-marching-george-floyd-1511066

Again, you’re full of shit, Princess George.

@retire05:
Keep blaming the wrong people for the rise in Texas’s new COVID-19 cases.

The people who are the real problem won’t get the message, and they will continue to infect each other and their friends and family.

The protests will end, but the thick-headed Texans who believe in the Gospel of Trump will continue to spread the disease thinking they’re NOT the problem, and
Texas’s cases will continue to rise.

They and you will prove both Governor Abbott and me right in a single stroke of collective bad judgment.

Amazing how the experts saw this coming months ago, when THEY said Texas was opening too soon, but the governor didn’t listen, and the citizens of Texas obviously didn’t, either.

Now the governor finally gets the message, but his voice is being drowned out by the millions of Texans who’d rather jump off a cliff holding hands than challenge the Gospel of Trump.

What is it about that jerk that Texans find so appealing?

Is it that “Stupid does as stupid says,” or simply that misery loves company?

@George Wells:

Texas Governor Greg Abbott opened the State of Texas on April 28.

No he didn’t. It wasn’t opened until late in May, and then only 25%.

The “spike” follows the exact trajectory of constantly increasing testing. Period.

@Deplorable Me: George knows everything cable boob tube tells him is gospel. Wisc open since May 17 our supreme court decided dictator Evers wasnt lord and king. The municipalities and county officials then made the decisions based on ground zero data, and conditions, even then some decisions you can tell are goofy such as no t-ball, not opening pools ,there are near 12 thousand lakes some to tiny to water ski on but you can swim. Wisconsin has more than 1,000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline I find the big puddles water way to cold, but the breeze off the lake is nice on a muggy humid day. Our biggest events were cancelled or scaled way way back. We can still find fun things to do.

@Deplorable Me:

Oh. So that increased testing is what is filling up ICU’s.
And here I thought that it was actual newly infected and seriously ill patients doing that.
The governor of Texas evidently thinks the same thing I do, so maybe you should inform him instead of wasting your breath on me.

I used to think that Republicans were fundamentally smarter than Democrats, but that their fatal flaw was that they were unnecessarily stingy with the people’s money.
But now I see that they aren’t at all stingy, having abandoned fiscal conservatism along the way to gifting the filthy rich with more money than they could possibly need.

And as for thinking that they are intelligence, I was wrong on that count too. Anyone who takes at his word a leader who proclaims himself to be a “stable genius” should have his head examined. Trump’s chronic confusion over which way to turn next has become too painful to watch.

No, I’m not trying to undo what happened in 2016. That’s history. And so are the years that followed that fateful election, and those SHOULD have shown the voters what a bad choice they made. Hopefully, enough of them will be SMARTER than the average Republican that they won’t make the same mistake twice.

@Deplorable Me:

I provided that article to Princess George yesterday. He chose to ignore it. Instead, he returns with this:

What is it about that jerk that Texans find so appealing?

I assume he meant Gov. Abbott. I guess he thinks Virginia is better off with Governor BlackFace. Virginia has almost double the death rate from the Chi-Com flu as Texas. Guess Governor BlackFace is not doing so good.

@George Wells: Ok the election what are the viable choices, Trump a capitalist to his core, or Dementia Racist Joe who wont condemn the Marxist give us what we want or we will burn it all down. The guy who also lifts ideas from a cable TV show the West Wing. Both on cancer and the logan act against Flynn. During debates tries to take credit for legislation introduced long after he left Congress.
He cant stop plagiarizing cause he has zero ability to think for himself and never has.
Forget that Trumps team made sure States got what they needed for the pandemic, not by tyranny that Biden suggested.
I will vote if I have to march through a cloud of virus germs and marxist burning buildings and throwing bricks. Just to keep Biden out of the White House not for love of Trump just as I voted to keep 99% chance of winning Stinky from the office.

@Deplorable Me:

It’s the same everywhere.

Oh, I agree. But for one cop killing a N-gger with his knee, we’d be in the COVID-19 clear by now. Because that one dead N-gger set off a Marxist revolution of anti-capitalist N-gger looters and statue-wreckers who have in their unrestrained excitement infected more Americans than the Chinese ever hoped their viral WMD could possibly kill. Why, I bet Texas Governor Abbott KNOWS from tracing the contacts of the people who are clogging hospital ICU’s in his state that they were ALL in INTIMATE contact with the Marxist N-ggers, and you must wonder why the Governor doesn’t just lock them all up in the state penitentiary for being accessories to a crime! Hello! Everybody knows that you CAN’T catch a virus in a bar because of all the alcohol, and you can’t catch a virus in a packed church because GOD will protect you. Neither can you catch a virus at a beach, because everybody knows that viruses can’t swim AND they can’t take on a good tan!

Did you get that?
It’s RIDICULE.
Addressed to y’all because you’re RIDICULOUS!
Y’all take no blame for anything, EVER!
You must think you’re PERFECT!
Well, you’re NOT, Blanch!
But I’m fine with that, because the further out on that limb you crawl, the more a landslide AGAINST the GOP will come crashing down on Republicans come November.
So you just go right ahead and believe whatever you want.
Just remember in November that I told you so.

@George Wells: Do you think we didnt notice that 6 of 7 protestors are white brainwashed marxist bernie bros? Its your racism that blinds you to anything not shown on your boob tube.
Blacks are getting damn tired of useful idiots telling them how to fix problems from ivory tower marxist colleges. These are the same mental defects that talk about white privilege and toxic masculinity along with many other nonsensical psedo psychology, suck it up georgie we wont accept insanity. We dont have to accept these twisted ideologies and defective mental conditions as normal, like ONLY caucasians can be racists, it doesnt fit the definition so lets change the definition to cover up being an imbicile.
F right the F off.

@kitt:
Right.
Trump re-tweets a “white-power” video, and I’M the racist!
LOL!
So in November what happens?
Trump is obviously NOT interested in winning reelection.
So what do you do?
Grab your guns and start shooting Marxists?
Anyway, is there something in the Constitution that prohibits Marxism?
Sounds like you’re having a bad-hair day.

@George Wells: No, the dead man was used as a PRETEXT to set of a communist “revolution”. There was nothing racist about it. With the willing aid of the liberal media, though, it was MADE racist and the revolution, aided by the liberal media, was on.

What, exactly, am I supposed to accept blame for? The radical, leftist, violent organizations YOU on the left cultivated, hoping to use? WHAT am i so guilty of that you are so exempt from? This is YOUR mess, not anything to do with conservatives or the right.

What’s wrong with “white power”? We have black power, Black (but no other) Lives Matter, La Raza, Gay Pride; what’s wrong with “white power”? What the F**K did you expect was coming, you hypocritical idiot?

@George Wells: You ask such imbicilic questions,

Anyway, is there something in the Constitution that prohibits Marxism?

Can you even describe what marxism is about? You are a total moron, fool stupid, ass clown, dunce, dolt and dullard.
Marx was born in 1818 I guess the founders were not imbicils, knew better than Marx who himself did not use the term socialism to refer to his stupid system. Instead, Marx called it a communist society that has not yet reached its higher-stage.
Our representative republic was never set up as a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. If you want to donate everything you have to the government then have them decide what you merit or need in their system, vote democrat.
This isnt a race war its a political one.
Sounds like you are having a bad brain day Georgie.

@kitt:

You ask such imbicilic questions

That’s because I AM an imbecile (or I wouldn’t be wasting my time with you morons) and the punchline is that I get to vote.
I’ve decided to vote straight Marxist ticket on the strength of your recommendation, as you’ve made the best argument yet for not voting for ANY Republicans.

You never DID say what you thought was going to happen in November, when the clown with the orange-colored head gets fired.
Maybe you and he’d like to move in with one of his dearest friends over in Russia or North Korea. I have a hunch (hey, Trump has them all the time, and he always bases HIS executive decisions on nothing more) that Putin will fix the Moscow Dog Show so the Don wins Best-of-Show in the Lap-Dog category. Like the motivational speaker Pinocchio says to the crowd of losers “You ALL have potential!”

@George Wells: Enjoy the gulag sweetie. Thats what commies do with minorities and mental defects.

@kitt:

Enjoy the gulag sweetie. Thats what commies do with minorities and mental defects.

Interesting that you think that.
OUR “commies” gave gays the right to marry, and protected their employment rights.
You must be thinking of RUSSIA’s “commies,” but they’re not the same thing.
Obviously.
It’s the RUSSIAN “commies” who have the gulags… over there… in RUSSIA.
You know where that is, right?
It’s where a guy named Putin has a bunch of photos of Trump pissing on a bed that Obama is said to have slept in.
Remember Putin? He’s the guy who owns our president.

Can’t bring yourself to admit that Trump will lose in November, can you?
Hey, don’t worry. After he is convicted, Biden will pardon him…
Maybe.

@kitt: @Deplorable Me:

Princess George has posted some really despicable things in the past, but his #33 has to be the most despicable post he has ever made. You, and I, know that he thought he was being too clever by half by using a word that I have never found acceptable for any reason. Not for point making, not for emphasis, not for ridicule of another. But use it he did, and thinking how cute he is, he thought that by using a dash sign it would have greater effect.

Kitt, you said:

Do you think we didnt notice that 6 of 7 protestors are white brainwashed marxist bernie bros? Its your racism that blinds you to anything not shown on your boob tube.

We noticed, but not Princess George. And yes, he is exhibiting his own racism, trying to mask it with slamming someone else. But then, it is clear that Princess George is not just a racist, but a hater; a hater of anyone who subscribes to the Christian doctrine as told to us in the Bible and a hater of anyone who is heterosexual. He is too uninformed to understand that what we see in the streets of America is just Weather Underground/Black Panthers Part Deux. It has nothing to do with a bad cop with his knee on a criminal who was black, that is only the excuse, not the cause.

White supremacy? Where did that come from? Oh, that’s right; a Communist with a BIG “C”. “Critical race theory contends that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently the nation’s legal structures are, by definition, racist and invalid … members of “oppressed” racial groups are entitled—in fact obligated—to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing…” Look up Critical Race Theory and there you will find the goal, not the cause, for the riots and the destruction of monuments and cities. You will understand why the NY BLM leader stated, unabashedly, if they don’t get what they want, they “will burn the system down.” Critical Race Theory is simply the Frankfurt Marxists political correctness with a racial component.

Systemic racism? Excuse, not cause, i.e., Critical Race Theory. MARXISM.

I have no doubt that Princess George will respond to me, but frankly, I find his post #33 so obscene that it should be removed. So deal with him if you wish. I find him beneath all civil politeness.

@retire05: It was only a matter of time before his act fell apart trying to post such garbage on this political blog most likely to copy and paste it somewhere to point a finger and say see look what they say! I also think the filth should be removed, sounds like Curt will take out the trash.

@Curt:

Thank you, Curt. For me, it was a bridge too far.

@retire05: Sometimes the real leaks out. You can smell the desperation in that post.

@Curt: I hate seeing people kicked off but the way that guy would credit me with saying things I never said to support his positions infuriated me.

The European community is expected to extend their ban on travel from the U.S. tomorrow, owing to the rapidly worsening U.S. COVID-19 situation. Multiple states that reopened early are now having out-of-control surges.

June 29, 2020 – Europe Set to Extend Travel Ban for U.S. Residents on Tuesday

@kitt:

They’re extending the ban on travel from the U.S. because they’re effectively dealing with the spread of COVID-19 infection, while we are not. That is what we should care about.

@Greg: Are they? look at deaths per 10thousand tell me how much better they handle it. No dont care, didnt have to change travel plans at all. Many beautiful places to visit right here in conservative areas liberals havent yet turned to shitholes.
https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2020-06-03/europe-has-highest-coronavirus-death-rate-per-capita

U.S. News is comparing the cumulative death rates since the pandemic began. This is very misleading, because new infection rates have dropped dramatically in Europe, while they are rapidly rising here.

Control has to do with the current trend, not with the cumulative totals.

What the experts warned us would happen in Florida is now happening. The only surprise is that FOX News is talking about it.

Sunday, July 12, 2020 – Florida shatters largest single-day record of coronavirus infections in US while world sees cases spike
