Today the CDC says that for every one new positive test there are ten undetected cases of COVID-19. The most recent recorded day (yesterday) >36,000 tested positive for the virus. Last one day record was 34,203 on April 25. If what they are saying is true when are they going to admit all their bullshit modeling and worst case doomsday scenarios were wrong?

Why can they say if everyone wears a mask and stays 6” away from each other 33,000 less people (of an estimated 168,000) will die this year? Yet attributed no gains from the increased use of cleaning disinfectants used on all public services, hand washing/sanitizer and sick people actually staying home from work because well it’s not only acceptable now it’s expected - if they had a job to stay home from.

Has the CDC released the number of negative tests? How many people are being randomly tested each day and where? Yes there is an uptick in ICU admissions - people who put off taking care of their heart condition, diabetes and other medical issues are finally showing up at the hospital and oh yeah they are positive for COVID-19 - go figure.

Schools (K-16) have been shuttered as well as day care services closed, amusement parks, beaches and the great outdoors, and all sporting events emptied of fans and vacationers from all over the world.

Why does anyone with half a cell in their brain trust anything these medical experts are saying now or said three months ago? Yes, the virus is bad, it kills people of all ages with underlying health issues. The most vulnerable and least protected will undoubtedly suffer the most from this virus but sounds as if we are all going to be infected by the end of the year if not already and then life will go on - without ever having a vaccine.

Anyone else tired of this thing yet? The small businesses and just making ends meet hourly workers who lost their livelihoods will likely never recover and some businesses large and small will go bankrupt and never return to the neighborhoods that relied on them.
