July 2, 20205 yr Texas lt. governor hits Fauci: 'He doesn't know what he's talking about' https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/505417-texas-lt-governor-hits-fauci-he-doesnt-know-what-hes-talking-about Quote Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) on Tuesday lambasted Anthony Fauci over his assessment of the recent surge in coronavirus cases in the U.S., claiming that his state did not need advice from the nation's top infectious disease expert. "Fauci said that he’s concerned about states like Texas that skipped over certain things. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about," Patrick said on Fox News after Fauci testified before a Senate committee about the U.S. response to the coronavirus outbreak. "We haven’t skipped over anything." "The only thing I’m skipping over is listening to him," Patrick added. "He has been wrong every time, on every issue. I don’t need his advice anymore. We’ll listen to a lot of science, we’ll listen to a lot of doctors, and [Gov. Greg Abbott (R)], myself and other state leaders will make the decision. No thank you, Dr. Fauci."

We're seeing 500-600 cases for the whole state daily. It would take us a month to get what Florida gets in one day.

Fine, don't take the advice from one of the top infectious disease doctors in the country. He knows nothing. SMH.

You've been there as have I. That park, while fun, is basically a haven for NEPA and Central PA trash. MAGA folks will be eliminated by natural selection this summer.
July 2, 20205 yr U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll May Be Almost 30 Percent Higher Than Officially Thought https://www.newsweek.com/u-s-coronavirus-death-toll-may-higher-officially-thought-1514911 Quote The COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. may be almost 30 percent higher than previously thought, according to a study. Writing in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers said the estimated gap may partly be explained by an initial lack of widespread testing. Six months into the COVID-19 pandemic, over 10.6 million COVID-19 cases have been confirmed worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University. The U.S., which has been hit by a recent uptick in cases in the South and West, has the most cases at 2.6 million, and the most deaths, at over 128,000. The researchers estimated the number of undocumented COVID-19 fatalities by counting what are known as "excess deaths." This is a common way for experts to measure the impact of a new infectious pathogen, such as a pandemic flu, when there is a lack of comprehensive testing, according to the team. They did this by calculating a baseline number of expected deaths in the U.S. between March 1 and May 30 in years prior to 2020. They then subtracted the expected number of deaths each week from the documented deaths between March 1 to May 30, 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic had hit. Ads by scrollerads.com Daniel M. Weinberger, associate professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, and colleagues included 48 states and the District of Columbia in the study, but excluded North Carolina and Connecticut due to issues with data. The data accessed on June 12, 2020 revealed approximately 781,000 people died in the U.S. between March 1 to May 30, 2020, including 122,300 excess deaths compared to previous years. Swell

It's not the masks that are giving these people breathing issues... it's being a buck-fiddy overweight while stuffing their faces with garbage all day long.

July 2, 20205 yr Swedish govt just announced that the rule of 2 meters distancing in restaurants/bars is now reduced to 1 meter. Also, all hospitals in Stockholm have now returned to normal operations as the instance of COVID patients has reduced to the point where they no longer need and special facilities.

By the time election night comes around we will have a full 6 month period to compare.
