COVID-19 Update

Growth Rates

Cases:
1.08 - World
1.08 - USA

Dead:
1.08 - World
1.13 - USA

Growth Rates are holding pretty steady again, as the spread really begins to shift to Chicago and Detroit and New Orleans etc.

The most troubling thing I've heard lately is that DumFux News has floated the idea that deaths are being inflated in order to hurt 45*.

To me, this is not just another bullshit attempt to deflect and to blame "the evil media" (although there's undoubtedly an element of that in it).

Daddy State Awareness - rule 1:

Every accusation is a confession.

I can't help but conclude Cult45 will be doing everything they can think of to ramp up their normal routines of smearing and punishing people who try to speak the truth about this thing, and that their energies will be concentrated on painting pretty pictures of blue sky and wildflowers - attributing lots of COVID-19 deaths to other causes.

45* signaled as much in the last coupla days by not just saying we're testing the shit out of it, but going on to assert that more testing is spending money where we don't need to spend it.

This is, of course, bullshit.

The countries that are starting to come out from under this thing are the ones who've tested extensively. We've tested less than 1% of our population, which puts us at #44 on the list, and we're still trying to unclog the testing process to clear the backlog.

We have no fucking idea where we are - who has it; who's showing antibodies; who's "in the clear" - nothing. We know nothing yet.

But he wants us up and running again by the middle on May.
