Covid 19 Close to Losing Epidemic Status

Good to hear.
 
The welcome news comes as fear over a "second wave" of the virus has gripped the U.S., with some states experiencing fresh surges of COVID-19 along with increased hospitalizations.
 
Let’s ignore the recent spikes all over the Nation in cases, especially TX, AZ, FL, and GA. Ignore future spikes from the July 3rd, Tulsa, and AZ type rallies.

What follows a record # of cases the past week. Then comes hospitalizations. Then death. Then reinfecting other states. Then the 2nd wave. Rolling Thunder.

We must learn to live with it. Live and Let Die.
 
Every agency in the legislative branch is lying for trump. Cases —> Hospitalizations —> Death ... How are the cases and hospitalizations doing in FL, GA, TX, AZ, and so many other states?

Hospitals are triaging in those 4 states. We’re still averaging 1,000 deaths a day. We’ll still get future spikes from the July 3rd and 4th trump type rallies. The gall of some to minimize death when you can’t back it up.

Are you still cheering on the 1919 White Sox? That's about as accurate as your posts.

Correction, it's not going to be over, any more than the Flu is over. That's been around since the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918.

However, we will adapt to it over time just like the Flu. Likely have a vaccine sooner than later to help.

This is still the USA and we will deal with it.
 
cool, maybe the breakneck pace of research with the goal of solving this pandemic can go back to normal now and i can work a 40 hour week again.

Setting records for new daily cases this week.

Conservatives: "It's almost over!"

We are still in the first wave. It's just hitting places it hasn't hit before because PEOPLE WON'T WEAR FRIGGING MASKS.

The deaths rate has been going down, since doctors are learning to treat it. However, there is a massive influx of new cases in Georgia, Alabama, Texas , Florida and Arizona. There are a number of places where the hospitals are close to being overwhelmed.

If you get to the hospital, and IF they have a bed for you, your chances of dying are going down. If the hospitals gets overwhelmed, the death rate will go up, and that is the danger, particularly in those 5 states. I hope that better treatments are found, and the death toll can continue to go down. But, more infections mean more people who need to be in a hospital to survive it.. and the more under counting of people who die from Covid 19 that do not get counted.

According to the CDC.

Coronavirus deaths in the country have nearly reached a level where the virus will cease to qualify as an epidemic under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules, the federal agency reported on Friday.

It'd be nice to have fewer than 5% of the deaths every week be from covid.

Maybe the uptick in positivity won't be followed by an uptick in deaths this time.

Be sure to let us know when the CDC actually does decide covid's not an epidemic anymore.

It will be difficult with all the liberals and progressives rooting against America.

But we will overcome the communists, fascists, and Marxists who hope to destroy our nation.

If you read the article, you'll notice that the CDC made ZERO proclamations similar to the thread title.


The article's author notes that the number of deaths dipped down to the minimum level for epidemic at the moment.
The % of deaths did not cross the line.

Additionally, CDC data has a two week lag.
So, it'll be two weeks after the deaths pick up before it registers in their data.

...or after the deaths DON'T pick up.

fwiw,
It may take us a bit to become as acclimated to covid as we are to the flu.

What does that mean in this instance to be over?

Do you believe the % of weekly deaths due to covid will continue to go down indefinitely?
Is that what "over" means in this case?

??? We had the flu long before the Spanish Flu pandemic and the potential for another flu that virulent or worse is high. "Living with it' wont really be possible unless we do identify that strain early enough to create a effective vaccine for it AND get it into enough people early enough. And no vaccine is 100% effective.

Well then you have no business EVER stopping abortion. There are no persons involved and you sure as hell dont SEE them :doh

Jeebus, Mary, and Joe Cocker. Your comments are getting more and more desperate.

This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa
