This morning on the Sunday talk shows, Alex Azar pointed out that in states that have reopened ahead of the others, like Florida and Georgia, there has not been an increase in COVID cases and deaths:
We are seeing that in places that are opening, we’re not seeing this spike in cases,” Azar said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program. “We still see spikes in some areas that are, in fact, closed.”
However, Azar said identifying and reporting new cases takes time. …
“It’s still early days,” Azar cautioned in an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation.” He said data will take some time to come in from states that reopened early such as Georgia and Florida.

Azar’s comments on CBS.
Stating there has not been any increase in COVID-19 cases or deaths one week after opening means absolutely nothing. With the time it takes to develop symptoms, get tested, and the data to get recorded, there is a 4-6 week lag period before we will be able to see if there is an uptick in cases. Don’t start celebrating yet!
Yeah, it could be that. But it’s also a good possibility that this is just MORE proof that the CoVid-19 virus is not as LETHAL as they would have us believe. Seems there are millions more who have been infected with this virus than they supposed, which changes the death rate percentage to one that is FAR less lethal than what the hysterics in the media and the Demmunist Party have been quoting as “proof” that we need to keep the entire country shut down until our economy is DOA, in hopes that will give them some kind of “advantage” in the November elections. If nothing else, they hope to flim-flam Americans into falling for their “Let’s all vote by mail with NO oversight, proof of citizenship or ID WHATEVER in November” voter fraud scam.
No matter what they say, the Demmunists know that nobody with any sense is going to vote for their Leftist LOON candidates, and the ONLY way they can win an election is to STEAL IT.
Even if it was ‘as lethal’ as they say (2-3% death rate), that is STILL NOT A BLOODY REASON to lock the entire nation down and keep it locked down. I MIGHT agree if the virus was say 20-30% lethal… BUT NOT At this level.
Georgia and Florida have been lock down free for three weeks and covid is DECREASING, the paranoia spread by the media and liberal politicians is waning. Just today Colorado “revised” their death count lowering it by 25% because it was falsely reporting EVERY death as covid even when the person died of alcohol poisoning, renal failure, heart attack, diabetes. Because you have a blister, they don’t list your cause of death “blister” when you had a heart attack.
This. They’ve been trying to panic us all into a state of petrification. There will be those saying it’s “too early to tell” and “just you wait” but after 3 weeks, those arguments fall flat. After a month it’s an obvious lie. After 2 months, people will just look at them like they’re stupid, not that they won’t keep saying such things. The Left is invested in Terrorism Media. The world is always just about to end. The time to panic is now. The boogeyman is about to get you.
And this is why AOC and Greta Thunberg keep yapping about how the world will end in 10 years because of Global Warming. Nice try, Chicken Little. The Doom and Gloomsayers have been exposed.
People are realizing the actual threat is to our jobs and our liberties. This ends now.
WHAAAAAAA.. “Where are the spikes we were promised” WHAAAAAAAAAAA…
Given the fact that the so-called authorities lied about seriousness the virus was, it’s no surprise there is no spike. Saying people that already had other physical life threatening problems that just happened to also get the virus, which finished them, and then writing on the death certificate “died from covid 19” was barley 1/10 of the truth. Then in some cases coroners were told to write covid 19 as cause of death whether the person had it or not, just to inflate the death numbers and keep the economy shut down. Even though this has been found to be common practice in NY and Calif, who knows what other dummycrat controlled states also fudged the numbers and haven’t been caught, yet.
There is a monetary reason for listing a persons death as covid if they were on Medicare. If you die from normal causes at a hospital they get reimbursed $1500. If they die of covid “related” causes, it’s $3000. The cause of death should never have been legislated in the reimbursement for services.
AND trump needs to CEASE allowing that payment to happen, AS IT IS JUST DOING NOTHING BUT ENCOURAGING hack fraudsters in hospitals to list EVERY DEATH they can bloody well get their hands on, as Covid related.. Just to make bank.
Why no spikes? Because we’ve already flattened the curve. Small sampling indicates many of us have been infected and never knew it. The concept of no spike in new outbreaks terrifies the Left. They know that if the populace isn’t in a constant state of panic, then they have no power. It’s what they do.
You can either have Libs terrified or the People terrified. Choose wisely.
The simple reason is because the temperatures are warming up less transmissiviity. also Georgia opened up over three weeks ago if opening was going to experience a spike it would have started a week ago
I submit that all the idiotic measures to prevent the spread of the virus has accomplished nothing. Mainly because the “experts” haven’t a clue to what they are doing. They are just guessing. I further submit that the virus is just running it’s course to it’s natural conclusion, and moving on.
These experts have been consistently wrong about everything, many of them for their entire careers.
Just like the Global Warming “experts” have a perfect 100% track record for being wrong about every Doomsday warning they ever made. Literally none of their apocalyptic predictions have come true. And they use the same argument, so you know it’s socialism. They say if you disagree you’re “anti-science”. We hear that from Gore and Fauci alike.
If you’re wrong 80% or more of the time, you shouldn’t be legally allowed to call yourself an expert. Here are some crayons. Go sit in the corner and color.
WHICH Is why Trump needs to STOP LISTENING to that hack Fauci, and Fire his useless butt
It must be considered, are some politicians taking credit for a lower number of cases, the projection has never been accurate, because they pushed draconian lock downs, when in fact, this could be the natural order of things? Also it must be pointed out, with increased testing comes increased cases from the asymptomatic carriers, be aware there will be those in the leftist media that will conveniently forget that fact.
If we see a spike, as the fake news media and liberals… and one worlders are screaming? I believe it will be covert biological warfare. It will be assumed it was just the virus taking its course. Its a plan. How to take over sovereign nations and the freedom of individuals.
I hope I am only paranoid with an over active imagination. I will over joyed to find out I am wrong.
There is a very real problem called coronavirus &/or COVID-19. It is true that people have died from it.
Then there is the over-hyped media frenzy reporting of the problem which is constantly telling you 24/7 that it is virtually inevitable that you will very soon be infected and hospitalized and suffering and finally dead.
Telling the truth is not in the best interests of the media. That truth says that it is unlikely that you will become infected, even if you use no caution whatsoever. In the event that you do become infected, you may not even be aware of it. If you do become sick, you would likely just require some extra rest until the illness passes. In the unlikely case that you have to be treated at a hospital, it is nearly a sure thing that you will recover just fine. If you do die (anytime from any problem), you are advised to have obtained the readily available forgiveness for your sins from Jesus Christ.
China produced this problem. China concealed this problem. Chinese leaders hate Americans and American free enterprise. Chinese communists are GLAD to have made people sick. The communist are GLAD people died. The communists are GLAD the American economy has been damaged.
Now, if you are upset about coronavirus, you know who to blame…and it is not Trump.
They made C19 out to look like the next 1918 influenza or the Black Plague from Europe in the Middle Ages. It’s not.
Yes a lot of people died in China, but then they were out to suppress truth and hide what they were doing. If someone had a sniffle, the goon squad showed up at his house in the middle of the night and dragged him off to a containment center. Most of what they did there was place living people into double body bags and incinerate them alive. They did this because they care nothing for human life, just like our local Libs.
I think most of the people who died in China were the result of govt over-reaction. Sense a pattern here?
There is some indication that the CCP developed this as a means of “culling the herd” of no longer “productive” residents in their overpopulated cities, and determined that they’d also use it to cripple their main economic opponent. The CCP should be held responsible by not just the USA, but by the EU, and as a initial penalty all those affected nations should declare all debt owed to China as null & void. Then ramp up tariffs, over 24 months to allow manufacturing to repatriate, from 2% to 50% [2% increase each month] on ALL materials or products coming out of China. Use the tariff income to replace the Federal expenditures caused by their Novel Wuhan Coronavirus.
States are re-opening, the markets are coming back and the hopes of the Radical Left to destroy Trump’s chances for re-election are vanishing like the bottles of booze in Shrillary’s liquor cabinet.
Let’s all hope you’re right!
A key point made in a YouTube-suppressed video from two docs in California is that the immune systems of healthy people who are isolated are weakened. It makes sense that an early ending of the isolation would be less harmful than extended isolation.
BUT that’s the thing. The commies in charge, don’t WISH TO MAKE any sense..
