5/ Now, in some of these states COVID-related hospitalizations have also risen (though they make up a tiny fraction of overall hospitalizations). Scary, right?
No. When people go to the hospital for elective surgeries they are now routinely tested for COVID…
9/ And the fact that deaths no longer seem to have any relationship to case counts in many states (true even accounting for the fact that deaths lag).
The question you should be asking yourself: why aren’t Europe and Asia seeing post-lockdown spikes if this trend is real?
Who wants to tell him that almost 3 million Americans die every year? Or that most of those 200,000 would have died by year-end anyway? Or that lockdowns have killed (conservatively) tens of thousands of people? https://t.co/LV3KaQFNZz

1/ Hey, wonder why @cnn and the rest of Team Apocalypse are screaming so hard about new “cases” (aka positive tests, which are actually falling nationally, btw)? It might because daily US Covid deaths have fallen two-thirds in six weeks. True story, not that you’ve heard it… pic.twitter.com/2tMHlMFKFa

Looks like the Swedes aren’t having it anymore. From their national online health care service: “the disease #covid-19, which is similar to the common cold or the flu. Most people who show symptoms do not feel particularly unwell…” https://t.co/7tTBEo87Jy pic.twitter.com/DZn5J49JMq
