More recently, though, she has been eclipsed by Dr. Scott W. Atlas, Mr. Trump’s new pandemic adviser, who advocates allowing the virus to spread naturally among young people, while the government focuses its efforts on protecting the elderly and vulnerable. Many public health experts say such a strategy would lead to needless death and suffering.

Half the country supports this insanity. :snoop: :snoop: :snoop:

Just back to the coronavirus crisis for a moment, Reuters have this in their round-up today, that hospitalizations have topped 50,000 for the first time in three months.

They report that North Dakota reported only six free intensive care unit beds in the entire state on Wednesday, when it was one of 14 states that reported record levels of hospitalized Covid patients.

Hospitalization are a key metric because they are not impacted by the amount of testing done.

President Trump has repeatedly downplayed the number of cases in the US, falsley claiming that if they didn’t test so much, they wouldn’t have so many cases. Testing makes no difference to the number of people infected – it just allows you an idea of how many are.

The proportion of tests coming back positive is greater than 50% in South Dakota and over 40% in Iowa and Wyoming. The World Health Organization says rates of more than 5% are concerning because they indicate undetected community transmission.
Rounding the corner :francis:

Trump-loving pastor who blamed COVID-19 on fornication dies from COVID-19

so i guess he was having sex outside of his marriage if he died from covid.
The sardonic humor though...:mjlol:


Baxter told televangelist Jim Bakker in March that the coronavirus pandemic was punishment for sex between unmarried couples.

“If we think we can just ignore God and live a sinful lifestyle, well, we cannot do it,” Baxter said. “You know, I believe in what you’re saying, that God may be using this as a wake-up call. This coronavirus may be a privilege, because I’ll tell you right now, there’s a much bigger judgment coming. ”

The ministry did not disclose how Baxter became infected with the deadly virus.
