    We know better than to just believe everything he says, so let's try to find some real answers.

    Here is a site with up to date statistics:

    Worldometer


    We can scroll down and see the US statistics for ACTIVE CASES and NEW DEATHS.

    These are the figures which will tell us when we have reached 2 important peaks in the pandemic.

    When people test positive, that data is added to the ACTIVE CASES.

    When people either die or recover, they are removed from the ACTIVE CASES.

    NEW DEATHS is the deaths per day for that day.

    We will first see a peak in the ACTIVE CASES, followed by the peak in the NEW DEATHS.

    That means we can watch these numbers change and know when we have reached those peaks.

    Currently, the figures are:

    ACTIVE CASES 420,611.

    NEW DEATHS 1,656.

    Let's try to post the daily numbers so we can watch the trends and we will know when the peaks have been reached for the entire USA.
    The morality rate just keeps reducing............the morality rate for everyone under70 years old? 0.04....the seasonal flu has a higher death rate than C19. This is becoming nothing but a joke. Obama resided over a Novel Virus outbreak that infected over 60 million US Citizens with a similar morality rate. C19 has over 50 million new cases to catch up with the Obama Administration.

    The goal of our health care system is to make money, not keep the nation as healthy as possible. Since stockpiling the needed supplies for a pandemic is not a money maker it is not done.

    If we had a health care system where the goal is to keep the nation healthy then preparations for a possible pandemic would be part of the equation. The proper PPE would be on hand, ready if needed; not wished for by workers who need it but find none because it wasn't profitable to stockpile it.

    Bingo! Capitalism, well-fettered capitalism, is the best economic system we've come up with so far. But this is where it fails and fails miserably.

    The slight dip in Active Cases on Weds was another teaser. The figure is once again higher than ever for yesterday.

    Deaths continue at approximately 1000 per day.

    We are still on track to be over 200,000 dead in late September.

    Could be reaching a quarter million by election day.

    Trump is doing his best to make that happen. Rallies, forcing schools to open, ragging on sports to open. Trump seems determined that the United States become the #1 producer of COVID virus on the planet.
