So, Bill, arson, vandalism, destruction of property, looting and assault are legitimate forms of protest in your view?

The increase in cases is an increase in testing. It does not correspond to an increase in hospitalization or, an increase in ICU occupation.



Data for Minnesota. Staggering increase in testing, not a staggering increase in hospitalization, or, notably, death. At the lowest point now, since prior to April. Most of our deaths were in compromised, vulnerable populations that were deliberately infected by state leadership. Pointed out by someone else already is the fact that sick people still readily cross the US border illegally into Arizona, any breakout of cases by immigration status, or, is that racist this week?

The test isn�t all that accurate and false positives, frequently, with other corona virus infections.

Unless a democrat governor is seeding a vulnerable population with the bug, we are talking about a virus that has about a 99%, or, better, survival rate.

Goillini, No. of course not. Her's the balance: of police there are many fine officers; there are a few bad apples. Of BLM protesters there are many fine people; there are a few bad apples. Bad apples are bad apples.

Masks do help... a little. There is a reason why Doctors and Nurses wear them. They are better than nothing. But most of the masks in use are about as effective in stopping a 1/8 micron covid19 virus particle as stopping number 8 shot with a tennis racket.

Social distancing could help if people could be kept far enough apart for a long enough time period. But when you are standing on those 6 ft. markers in the checkout line at Wal Mart or Home Depot, every time you move forward, you are advancing right into the air that was breathed or coughed out by the person in front of you.

Given that fact, a lot more of us should have been infected by now if it was really as contagious as the hysterical Liberal Left Chicken Little's are screaming. Not saying you can't catch it. But viral load probably has a lot to do with getting infected, and the severity of the infection.

The shutdowns were merely intended to slow the spread and flatten the curve until the medical system could mobilize. Only a complete idiot would think that we could completely shut down the economy and just print money indefinitely, and also would think that it was a total mistake to re-open businesses. Hard to predict how many people would suffer and die if we over-reacted and caused a multi-year global crash and depression. It is only natural for the number of illnesses to increase during a pandemic. That actually fits the very definition of the word.

Read the first post in that thread, a very good article from The American Thinker

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/07/_is_the_covid_surge_more_fake_news.html

I believe that article way more than I'd believe anything from the American Brain-Dead Democrats-- rocky mtn bill and Nancy Boy nca225.

Dang, sorry I brought up the mask. Nevertheless, I'm wearing one for the full fourteen days after I left the hospital, and if I were infectious I'd hope the mask protected someone to some extent. What you do is up to you...Geo

No surprise there, right up your extremely narrow alley of not quite intellectual abilities.

I see it the way you do Geo., Get well soon.

A variety of writers, and a variety of topics. Here was a good one:

You probably think the NY Times is a centrist, unbiased source. But, she doesn�t, and, lets face it, she worked there until she couldn�t take it anymore.

Wonder what NPR would say? No, I guess I really don�t.

I checked the ratings that mediabiasfactcheck.com gave to some hugely biased Fake News sources such as the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC...

...it looks like someone needs to fact check this obviously Liberal Left biased fact checker. This outfit appears to be right up there with Snopes when it comes to fact checking.

I still chuckle whenever I think of how Snopes said it was false that the DNC did not display the American flag at the 2016 Democrat Convention. Then the DNC apologized for NOT displaying the flag... thus throwing Snopes right under the Fake News Bus!

Liberals don't just lie to us. Liberals even lie to themselves. They even have themselves convinced that extreme anti-gunners such as Altzheimer Joe Biden are no threat to our gun rights. It's hard to get any more stupid than that.

Hmm. Looks like Chris was lied to again by the national media.
