As new coronavirus cases surge across a large swath of the country, with real spikes occurring in certain states, what are we to make of what's happening? It's undoubtedly true that increased testing is leading to increasing raw numbers of people testing positive, which helps explain a significant portion of this effect. But that's not the whole story, as infection rates are also up in places like Florida (though they're roughly stable nationally). Gov. Ron DeSantis has conceded this point, which was echoed by one of the state's GOP Senators, himself a former governor. That said, there are less worrisome statistics that mitigate the serious jumps in cases we're seeing. What's going on? Let's start here:
Ninety miles from the South Eastern tip of the United States, Liberty has no stead. In order for Liberty to exist and thrive, Tyranny must be identified, recognized, confronted and extinguished.

Anyone that posts a "COVID-19 2nd wave, Oh My God" bullshit is not being logical. First of all, why would anyone, and I mean anyone except whores that want to ruin the economy, believe any numbers you get from public sources? Hmm? Secondly, use common sense. It looks like the survival rate for COVID-19 is approaching 99%. That means it's about as deadly as sunburns. Why would anyone not realize that you can't escape death so why shut down the country? You are not going to make life death free and never will. Shit happens. And thirdly, how many people do YOU know that have had COVID-19? Not read about in the media or seen on TV. How many do YOU know personally? Once you've answered that question, how many people do YOU know that have DIED from COVID-19? Anyone, except those that want to believe in the inherent goodness of government and the media, can see this is a cooked up crisis.
Two words "herd immunity".
It happens every flu season.
Increased testing lowers the death rate. The most susceptible are already dead, lowering the death rate. Raising the threshold to commit to ventilator lowers the death rate.
All the MSM is only report spikes in Covid cases and trying to pitch it as if they were right in their fear mongering and using it to bash Republicans and Americans who just want their lives back. Of course they won't even consider that the relative increase in hospitalizations of the younger population, below 45, could be at least in part due to the forced quarantines possibly causing weaker immune systems in the general public.
