.....from an average of around 800000 a day in September to about 1200000 a day in late October. That explains a fair number of the new cases. Deaths per day by contrast show a modest decline since the beginning of August. The political motivations aren’t even murky:

THE WASHINGTON POST VIA GETTY IMAGES6,439 views|Oct 28, 2020,09:59am EDT“It’s not just a function of testing,” said Admiral Brett Giroir, the Trump administration’s testing czar, of rising case numbers in a Wednesday morning interview on NBC’s “Today” show, explaining: “We know that, too, because hospitalizations are going up .”
Forbes article‘It’s not just a function of testing’.....which means it’s in large part a function of testing. Case closed.
However, as Giroir said, hospitalization trends tell a different story, with a Tuesday analysis from CNBC showing 36 states have reported a concerning rise in the number of hospitalized patients over the past week
The New York Times calculating an estimated 46% rise in the number of people hospitalized from a month ago.
Over 90,000 cases yesterday in the US breaking a new record...
Easily the highest day on record.
And no, this is not because of more testing (As Trump would say).
Hospital admissions have increased rapidly, and deaths will rise again within 1 week.
It is a simple process
1. Cases Rise (higher % of tests result in positive cases)
2. Hospital Admissions Increase
3. Deaths increase.
Wrong cases started increasing in August without any effect on deaths. Hospitalization is a decision......I have no faith in that variable.
107K in the USA yesterday. Highest day on record by any country.
But not as high as the combination of lockdown countries the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and France........which with exactly the same population registered 160000 cases.
Biden will be trying to find the bathroom......but some puppet master will be trying to enforce lockdowns, which will in many cases be overturned by state judges. You still haven’t grasped how this works.
"The winter season has caused EU to lose control of the virus."
No sh!t! Europe can blame winter, but in the USA it's all Trump's fault! Genius at work!
The winter will cause in an increase in cases of the virus in both Europe and in America and its a contributing factor to Europe loosing control of the virus. However the primary cause of the virus cases rising in Europe is not the lock downs failing, its that happened after Europe opened back up from the lockdowns. Europe tried to open up as much as it could after the various lockdowns and try to maintain the virus at manageable levels but pretty much everywhere opened up much too much, due to a sense of lockdown fatigue, complacency and pressure from various business sectors (which are quite understandable) . Much of Europe is going back into lockdown so you can't expect to see the cases coming down over the next few weeks and it may get it back under control and attempt another controlled re-opening afterwards. The UK is different from the rest of Europe in that their handling of the pandemic has been a complete shitshow both from a health and economic perspective and has basically bungled every part of its pandemic response.
America on the other hand never had control of the virus at any stage. No its not all Trumps fault but he must take a large portion of the blame, blame which is showing in the result of the election.
‘The UK is different from the rest of Europe in that their handling of the pandemic has been a complete shitshow both from a health and economic perspective and has basically bungled every part of its pandemic response.’
‘Their handling’ sets up a plural subject....so ‘has bungled’ should be ‘have bungled’
And it’s not ‘loosing’ it’s ‘losing’.

Nov 11, 2020, 18:36If the death rate is 0.5% that amounts to one in 2000 people dying.
----------------------------
1% of 100 is 1 death per 100 people,
so 0.5% (half) is 1 death per 200 people.
- Although death rates will always be unclear, as no one knows what % of cases go unreported.
But if only 10% of the population get the virus.....which is consistent with 100000 cases a day....then one in 2000 die. Follow the bouncing ball.
As for the severity of the current outbreak, the daily deaths are no higher than late July /early August. There are probably more cases, but also running many more tests suggests there are also many more asymptomatic cases.
1% of 100 is 1 death per 100 people,
so 0.5% (half) is 1 death per 200 people.
Illustrating some amazing mathematical prowess here !
Lower deaths now may also be attributable to the fact that the first wave killed a lot of the vulnerable group. Remember, this thing barely registers a noteworthy death rate in under 55s. So far 18382 people under 55 has died in the US due to Covid. 129012 deaths are in the age group 75 and over.
Actually many of the people tested positive now are university kids where they have strong testing protocols....the death rates are still below July/August. The higher case rate is due to more testing, the nature of testing and the fact that up north there is more opportunity for indoor transmission.
Just short of 2000 deaths in the US yesterday.
The deaths are starting to catch up with the number of cases and hospitalisations.
Some US states and cities are going into partial lockdowns to reduce deaths until the vaccines are approved.
Good old Lori Lightfoot comes down with a heavy hand....no the deaths are pretty much like July. Much of the case load is increased testing among young people.
Actually it’s nothing like as bad as it was.....2000 deaths in April were focused in about 4 states......now it’s 2000 deaths across the whole country. It’s nothing like as intensive as it was.
Nor is the death rate as high...in April there were a relatively low number of active cases because you built from zero. There were just north of a million active cases....now we are above 5 million. With the death rates about the same that would say active cases are progressing to deaths at about a fifth the rate.
But your basic point is right, we haven’t found a treatment that relegates getting Covid to a non threatening event for many. And society is unwilling to accept the deaths...so the vaccine is the only alternative.
Given that Hydroxychloroquine cuts the hospitalization rate by 84% its a great pity Dr Fauci and the globalist media turned so many against the drug.
These fakes need to be locked up.
Also lock up the demonrat governors who have the worst death rate by far, including genocidal maniac Governor Cuomo of New York State. Fancy ORDEING infected people back into old age homes. Fancy lunching a law suit to over turn trump's travel bans from China and Europe. Fancy being so totally unprepared and begging for help from Federal Government when the primary responsibility is at state level.
Fancty given their views on lockdowns they allowed mass rioting with no masks and social distancing.
Bwahahahahaahahahha wahta bunch of fakes.
Then we had CNN host and brother of Governor Cuomo, Fredo Cuomo outside a house he had bought with no mask arging with a local all while positive with the chinese virus! Fancy being sent a letter by his landlord for not wearing a mask when the twit had been telling all and sundry to wear masks etc on his CNN show.
H AHAHAHAHAHAHA
US just hit 280,000 cases in one day yesterday.
Trump should be carted out of the Whitehouse with immediate effect, and bring in Biden.
In the meantime, Trump continues his donation collecting charade that he has a chance of turning over Democracy...
Trumps personal bank account has collected millions and billions...
European deaths in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Austria and Germany hit 2600 yesterday. Clearly all the heads of state should be removed.
