The media will never admit that it is due to the protests. It is. Cases are going up all across the country - even in states that hadn't opened up. New York, NJ, CA, etc. When "health professionals" and politicians encouraged the protests, the media will NEVER blame the protests on the rise in cases. |
Cases are not up in NJ. They have stayed flat in NY. Cases are up in all of TX's counties where there were no protests, but premature reopenings. |
You have sources to back up your claims? Do you realize The Economist is based in London? |

If protests caused a spike we would be seeing it in NYC.
This resurgence is due to a failure at the federal level. |
Exactly. It's the uneven closing and premature reopening that did it. And it's spread so far now, being a red or blue state won't matter, unless we stop all interstate travel. |
Actually, there was an outbreak in Hoboken, traced to people who just came up from...Florida. |
Not just NYC, but DC, Minneapolis, Buffalo and a host of other cities. The common thread of what we are seeing now is moronic governors or local leaders opening too soon. |
Prodded on by president Trump and the MAGA reopeners. This is on them. |

https://www.inquirer.com/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-covid-19-cases-increase-pennsylvania-new-jersey-delaware-philadelphia-beaches-casinos-restaurants-20200629.html Of course these increases are due too "opening up." The fact that the increases occurred in the appropriate time frame after the protests is not considered. Typical. |
| You neglect to mention that the positive rate in ny state is 1.38 |
It is a problem with Trump supporters, so it might be revenge from the virus. You know that......Democratic Hoax. |
| In your second quote, there is no number of any kind. |
I don't understand this. Are you saying if there's no number you don't believe it or think it's false or would you like the link or what? At its peak over 11 weeks ago, over 13,000 deaths a week were being attributed to CV. Now it's a little over 3,000. According to the CDC, the pandemic started March 8th and continued until June 13. The CDC is about 1 month behind in logging fatalities but since CV fatalities have dropped each of the last 4 weeks, there is a strong assumption the US has not been in a pandemic since June 13. Now if you want to make the assumption the increasing case count of CV will lead to a late summer or fall pandemic, that's a different path. But the hot spots of testing and hospitalizations in the 13 states continue to be in highly dense population centers. They also are in a much lower age category and, so far, those ages have been highly resistant to severe health consequences. |
DP. I suppose that you have looked at the responses by every other country and think that only Sweden and Brazil are responding properly to this not-pandemic. |
Sorry, I was talking to 6:53. |
