There are many reports of a spike in "cases" of Covid-19, especially among people under 35, a group that has been relatively unscathed by Covid-19 thus far.
There are many reports of a spike in "cases" of Covid-19, especially among people under 35, a group that has been relatively unscathed by Covid-19 thus far.
Of course, the lefties in the LSM are reporting that this increase in "cases" is due to states that re-opened and the younger crowds gathering at bars, etc -- but failing to mention the hundreds of thousands of protesters involved in #Protestapocalypse, most of whom are under 35.
So far, from the data that I've looked at on the CDC website and a couple other sources, there is no significant increase that does not follow the increased testing. Obviously, with the more tests being done, there will be more cases but the daily cases and death rate continues to be much lower than the peak back in mid-April.
IMAGE #1 shows the daily testing number that continues to climb from 150K a day in mid-April to over 400K a day now, yet there are far fewer proportional cases.

IMAGE #2 shows that even with the much higher rate of daily testing, the daily cases have fallen dramatically from the peak back in mid-April and the new daily cases are relatively flat, notwithstanding the dramatically increased number of daily tests.
IMAGE #3 shows the daily death rate of around 600 deaths a day, down from the mid-April peak of nearly 2,300 daily deaths. While a zero death rate would be preferred, it is a fact that on any given day in America, over 7,600 people die -- nearly 13 times as many -- just to put the 600 Covid-19 daily deaths into perspective.
For all of America, the below numbers that I reported a few days ago are still the same.
Less than 10% of people tested show as positive -- that includes all the people with symptoms and the tens of millions being tested with zero symptoms -- so 90% are NOT testing positive.
Just because people test positive for Covid-19 does NOT mean they are getting sick. Over 80% of positive cases are very mild to completely asymptomatic. Around 15% have mild to moderate symptoms. Less than 5% are hospitalized.
The average age of deaths is 72 (74 for LA). 92% of deaths are people over 55 and 85% are over 65. Upwards of 60% were people in nursing homes, senior care facilities, and hospitals, with preexisting health issues. Only 8% of deaths for people under 55.
The overwhelming majority of people without health issues have had extremely low numbers of even testing positive or getting sick.
The death rate is barely 5% of the original projection of 2.2 million. This means the so-called experts were WRONG by 95%!
In other words, it has been severely overhyped, overblown, and fearmongered -- and it's pathetic how so many otherwise intelligent people are acting like complete dumbasses over this.
I almost forgot -- 2.8 million people die every year in the U.S. That's 7,671 deaths a day without Covid-19. Covid-19 may actually lower the death rate this year, especially in the under 65 age brackets.
