Wait, it gets better, we are seeing increases in some areas that remain closed.
No spike in coronavirus in places reopening, U.S. health secretary says
Reuters, May 17, 2020:
Story continues below advertisementWASHINGTON (Reuters) – Authorities are not seeing spikes in coronavirus cases in places that are reopening but are seeing increases in some areas that remain closed, U.S. health secretary Alex Azar said on Sunday.
“We are seeing that in places that are opening, we’re not seeing this spike in cases,” Azar said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program. “We still see spikes in some areas that are in fact close to very localized situations.”
Azar put the onus on reopening struggles on local governments.
“These are very localized determinations. There should not be a one size fits all to reopening but reopen we must because it’s not health versus the economy. It’s health versus healthy,” he said, adding there were serious health consequences to not reopening.
Asked about images being broadcast from some areas of the country showing people gathering near bars and congregating close together, Azar said that was the cost of freedom.
“I think in any individual instance you’re going to see people doing things that are irresponsible. That’s part of the freedom that we have here in America,” he said on CNN.

It’s actually beginning to get bizarre at how everything Trump does succeeds. If these stat.s hold up Trump is going to beat the p!ss out of the Demonrats in November even with the soon coming historic levels of Demonrat vote fraud.

The success of this virus as a tool to get voting by mail could only come from a rapid high body count. They needed an early image that it could kill us all as it kills the most vulnerable. Its spread was slowed, despite what appears to have been the intentional spread and infection of the most vulnerable, so the Democrats didn’t get the big fast kill they wanted. Once it spread across the nation, the shock was over. The evidence of little or no effect on the young and middle aged population has found its way to the public eye. The politically motivated con to get voting by mail is over. Its use as a political tool in many ways is over. It has become a spotlight focused on the monsters who used it as mass murder for political power.

Doctor Fauci, the Democrats, and the MSM were OBVIOUSLY PISSSSED that the “MADE IN CHINA” Bio-Weapon Lab created virus was not as effective as they wanted.
Pelosi and the DNC may sue to get the 3.7 million dollars back.

The thing is, they couldn’t use a virus that was worse than this one or it would have worked against them. They knew it had to be a rapid scare immediately followed by a move to get voting by mail. If the virus was obviously a weapon then they couldn’t have played it as another bad bug from China, and it wouldn’t have been hidden by the flu season until it was out of control. The bio-lab theories that came out added to the fear factor, not to the actual body count. The needed fear more than death, but they needed enough death to get the fear they needed. It was really the perfect virus for the job.

IMO, this virus was repurposed. I think it was supposed to be released when we were at war with NK and China so it would have a much deadlier effect, and at that time it would have been called a biological attack, not a pandemic. Hillary was supposed to be in the WH when this virus was released. It’s the perfect virus to kill the non productive who remember the past, and spare the young, productive, brainwashed socialists.

The virus could have been “exterminated” within 4 weeks if people were allowed to lead normal lives ( like kids going to school & churches re-opening ) and the vulnerable were sheltered until the virus passes, said Dr. Knut Wittkowski…
No good reason for a disease to stay in the population longer than necessary.. >> just evil..

I’ll ask a simple yes-or-no question: Do you personally know anyone who has been dignosed as COVID-19 positive?
I asked this same question yesterday in church, where we were seated in alternating pews for social distancing purposes and all hymnals and Bibles had been removed for surface contamination purposes, and the unanimous answer was no.
That social distancing really works. I haven’t seen nor spoken to either of my ex-wives in decades.

Once politicians have control over you they simply don’t want to give it up.

Your question. Dealers choice.
Follow up Biological Attack?
Southern Polar Orbit EMP Attack?
Continued Intellectual Property theft?
Monetary attack on US reserve currency status?
Continued Congressional and Corporate complicity?
Mach 5, 8, 25 Hypersonic antiship missile attack against Navy and pacific bases?
Nuking East and Left Coast ports?
All the above?
