uhhh, death statistics might matter just a tiny bit as well... At least to the families of the deceased... FWIW!


Might be a coincidence, but the argument you are quoting is the most recent excuse by Trump and his goons.

They use ‘hospitalization rates’ to downplay the newest spike in cases. The problem with that is that there is a definitive correlation between new cases and future hospitalizations and deaths. The death rate is going up and we aren’t anywhere close to ‘defeating’ the virus.

Well, just the nature of the beast. Trump nor any other politician can control microscopic entities.

There was in April but it's not close to being the case now. We have far mores cases today and far fewer daily deaths than we had in the April peaks.

And the average age of a new case (positive test) is about 20+ years younger than it was back in April.
