This is all politics here in the US now. The media and Dr Fauci, etc continue with the false narrative that this is spiraling out of control. They are constantly claiming massive spikes in new cases and stating these states are in bad shape when the truth is far from it. We do have a spike in new cases but it's because we are testing at 5 to 6 times the rate we were during the peak of the pandemic. Before, you had to have been severely ill before they would test you. Now just about anyone can get tested. The rate of positives is declining, the rate of deaths is declining and we are no where near the peak levels. According to a CDC report issued on Friday, we are just barely over the threshold for this to be called an epidemic. The big thing now is whether schools will open or not in the fall. Still a month and a half away so not sure what the big deal is but they don't close them for the flu and that is about where this is at now.
So they say the young people are driving these spikes. Again a false narrative. The young people were spreading it before, they simply weren't sick enough to be tested, now they are being tested. They think people are dumb enough to not understand this and sadly, many are. So the panic continues. People from the North are afraid to travel to the South when the death rates in the South are a fraction of what they are in the North.
