Covid- 19 - Second wave

[Spicoli]

Good news on the COVID front, at least in the US.

Brace yourselves for a significant drop in new cases and maybe even in deaths coming up in the near future.

No... it has nothing to do with vaccines, or new cures, or anything of the sort.

It has nothing to do with social distancing, or masks, or the enforcement of these.

It has nothing to do with the virus running its course and petering out.

In fact, the drop will be sudden.

Good news, eh?







Effective today, all COVID data from hospitals will NOT be sent to the CDC, but rather directly to Washington, to the Trump administration.






Yes... unfortunately, the CDC has been less than 100% efficient in the receiving and transmitting of COVID-19 data to the public.

So that task has been taken away from them, and data will now be received and disseminated by the Trump administration.

The Trump administration promises to treat all incoming data fairly and with equanimity, and vows that COVID data will not be used for political purposes.





I don't know about anyone else, but I'm stoked.

Desperate man with no answers and even less effort so it's easier to control the data. Really is shameful conduct.

It's their own fault, of testing had just been scaled back when he errr joked about it(he never kids though) then this wouldn't have had to happen!

Exactly bro.

Nothing horrifying to see here. Just that Coronavirus hospital data will now be sent to Trump administration instead of CDC

140K dead, 3.6M infected, still not enough tests—and now potential censorship on the actual extent of the devastation.

Dystopian.

When did we switch from tracking COVID deaths to ignoring them and only worrying about cases?

[El Kabong]

big think

[El Kabong]

TWO CHOICES. A) accept that COVID can’t POSSIBLY be eradicated regardless of re-opening timeline, take precautions and let life go on or B) Shut everything down indefinitely until there is a vaccine. “Flatten the curve” never meant “eliminate the virus”.


Which way Brock?

B.
