PJ Media: As the pandemic panic porn continues because identified cases are rising, Dr. Fauci is back on television, and the media is once again demanding a national response. However, there is news they don’t share with you that could help reduce the already unwarranted levels of fear. Obviously, that doesn’t fit their partisan agenda.
Many commentators have noted that rising case numbers are not necessarily a reason to sound the alarm. The fear with COVID-19 was always of overwhelming the hospital system. The correct numbers to look at are COVID-19 hospitalizations, the percent of positive tests, and the age breakdown for severe disease.
COVID-19 Severity
A doctor from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center said in a press conference Wednesday that people who are testing positive do not appear to be getting as sick as they did earlier in the pandemic. Dr. Donald Yealy also noted this trend was being seen in the wake of massive protests.
He suggested the country is focusing too much on rising COVID-19 case counts.
“We need to change our mindset and focus not exclusively on the number of cases, but on the severity of illness. We shouldn’t just be counting those who have a diagnosed infection,” Yealy said. “For the vast majority of people testing positive, their illness is mild, or they don’t even know they have any symptoms of COVID-19 infection.”
Dr. Yealy also noted that the positive case rate was about one in 400, which has remained steady for weeks. He also noted improved treatment protocols and some success with Remdisivir and other medications. Effective treatment is in addition to some success protecting the elderly and a much younger patient load testing positive. READ MORE
Type ANY 3 numbers in Google search followed by the 2 words: new cases
I went to Keystone, just outside Mt. Rushmore today. You can feel the excitement, Trump stores, vehicles and more. DJT Jr. and Mike Lindell and Kelly Mcnawhatever will be speaking in DT RC on the 3rd, a couple friends will be warming up the crowd early. Hope i can get up close. It will be exciting here,
And what about the masks? I think about 1% of the tourists at keystone were wearing them. I want to explain the facts of life to them, but i dont think they could comprehend, I dont speak sheep. However, if you give me a sec, this is what i would tell them. They wear masks in surgery to prevent germs and bacteria from infecting a patient, not a virus. Even hospitals with expensive isolation gear spread the virus. So, your mask is a 12 foot chain link fence protecting your precious life, a germ is a 6 foot man, bacteria are a 3 foot kid, an ant is a virus. The fence prevents the man and the kid from trespassing for the most part, but it cannot prevent an ant from crossing through the fence. Face it, masks are pointless.
Could it be possible that people that are testing “positive” are not really positive? For God’s sake these tests have been developed in the last three months!
Or they got it 2 months ago but never noticed, but got tested last week because the tests are available and it got added to the new numbers. Hospitalizations and deaths are the key indicators. Hospitalizations are rising in a couple of big states, TX and CA in particular, but far, far below capacity. And deaths continue to drop. Those are the important numbers.
I was in a mask-infused store and watched a man sneeze…before he sneezed, he lowered his mask. What’s the point?

“I dont speak sheep.”
Bwahahahah
I read an article about 3 weeks ago, that 4 different companies had created “Test at Home” kits, but the FDA won’t release them.
If they had I am sure, the Media would told us.
My guess is that 70-80% of the population has already had it.
The Dems have to be ready to go all in.
Russia – Fail, Flynn – Fail, Kavanaugh – Fail, Impeachment – Fail, Pandemic – Fail, BLM – Failing,…………
What’s next?
What Next? Soros picks up the phone and tells his puppets in China and USA to gear up for invasion of Taiwan, or if that is still too early in the game plan, to ramp up the war with India and between S Korea and the little shit to the north, or hey!, have Trudeaupians invade NY while Russia sneaks their flag back to Alaska. Anything to keep (so they think) Trump off balance. Ain’t gonna work either.
@Cmn¢¢guy: “Pandemic – Fail”
Pandemic wrecked (and is still wrecking) the economy.
MJA, great find. Thank you.
Don’t forget the killer hornets -FAIL

“Pandemic wrecked (and is still wrecking) the economy.”
Sort of. Small businesses and their employees are losing.
Fast food, grocery stores, Tech industries, major hospitals, are making mass amounts of money.

“Cases”. The word is being used because it sounds serious, a sick person.
We all harbor millions of potentially harmful bacteria and viruses in and on our bodies. Our immune systems suppress them and keep them from overcoming our defenses. That they are there doesn’t mean we are sick. And we may or may not be able to “infect” someone else. A positive test for any one of these bacteria or viruses would be a “case” the way they now are using the word. I’m fed up.
The numbers could be cooked and the test results faked as positive; there’s no oversight on any of this “panic porn.”
That little Dr. Garden Gnome should take a powder permanently.
I saw a well worded comment that summed up this Over-Hyped Virus.
It was just 1 word. “SCAMDEMIC”.
Semi-Good news. The Covid-19, has already mutated 4 times according to some actually expert sources. (ORF1a,ORF1b,ORF3a and 1 small other)
So as of this morning WORLDWIDE we now have about 4,136,736 (99%) cases with a Mild Condition (cold level) and 57,347 (1%) with a serious or critical condition (aged and usually underlying serious health issues.
So it is becoming LESS & LESS deadly as it mutates.
As we in the USA have rolled out 25 Million Tests.
A Test that checks for ANTI-BODIES. Which would also include prior non-illness producing exposures, natural or developed immunity and produces a 26+% false positive result. Naturally we will see a bump, because we better checking now. But remember about 1 in 4 is a false positive.
BTW: of the top 10 states for the Convid-19 virus infections.
9 are Liberal Socialist Democrat Controlled states.
The 10th is Fla., a Snow Bird haven for Northerners from NY/NYC and New England.
If one of us is wearing a mask then you are “protected” so there you go.
I heard that Russian Collusion numbers are on the rise again, so lets bring that back around too.
These “rising cases” are nothing more than herd immunity.
