I'm sure the media coverage will change a bit in January when Biden actually takes over because he will not be the kind of person to just ignore what's happening and pretend it isnt a real problem.

Also you are talking about months from now and the spread of the virus may well have calmed down by then, so the coverage of the situation may be different because the situation is different.

And what do you expect Biden to do if it's still going as it is now?

Dude, you really have to start at least trying to vet your sources, alphanewsmsn.com really, where they intentionally leave out the context of Redfield's actual statement, in order to intentionally misconstrue (lie) what he said.

Here is the actual statement:

I think that the cost to our nation in continuing to keep these schools closed is substantial, and I’m hopeful that resources that are necessary can be made available. That’s obviously not... it’s way above my pay grade.

But there has been another cost that we’ve seen, particularly in high schools. We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID. We’re seeing far greater deaths from drug overdose that are above excess that we had as background than we are seeing the deaths from COVID. So this is why I keep coming back for the overall social being of individuals, is let’s all work together and find out how we can find common ground to get these schools open in a way that people are comfortable and their safe. And if there is a need for investment and resources, just like there is a need for some of the underprivileged children that are probably better served if they have certain comorbidities to do homeschooling, they need the access to be able to have the computer and the internet to do that.

Argue with him, not me. Sense you're the final word on all things covid, make yourself a twitter and you can argue with whomever your little heart desires.

His educational license to practice medicine expired in 2019, so he was not treating covid 19 patients in 2020.

If you have evidence to the contrary, you should contact the authorities in the state of Michigan.

Why, because I post it here? You seem to shoot down every piece of good news with the wish of more death so you can say you were right.

Pointing out inaccuracies and deception in the "good news" isn't wishing death, find a better talking point. By your logic I could say "good news! COVID will go away tomorrow!" and anyone who disagrees is wishing for more death so they can prove me wrong

Perhaps they post new cases in multiple updates throughout the day. I thought they post all at once.

I wondered the same thing. But, I think you are right. I'm fairly confident all of their daily deaths are posted in that morning update, at least. Not sure on cases.

I'll look at total tests behind today's 4k cases and compare to last week, once that data posts through covid tracking project. It's possible tests were down even for a Monday report. Also possible that cases really were down that much. But if that's the case, I wouldn't expect it to stick. We were at 19% positive last week....that dropped to 17% yesterday. So, if trend holds that is great....but a drop of half would be roughly 10% positive at same testing. That is too fast, I think.

I'm sorry that you feel an adherence to truth and fact is synonymous with a "wish for more death", it must be hard to live with such a failed sense of logic.

LOL Biden is no more senile than Trump is. Come on, be serious.

And yeah, Trump's response to this has been an atrocity. The fact that he's doing a half-ass job of backtracking and now admitting what has been true all along is proof. I dont need a news service to tell me that. I can just see it for myself and use my own brain.

Trump can be witty and adlib thru rally’s without prompters and shoes his mental alertness every time he appears in public. Biden does not know what city he is in or even what office he is running for when he appears in public. Remember the “I’m Joe Biden and I’m running for Senate in 2020” announcement earlier this year. Plus he as corrupt as they come and is in bed with China. Thus his reasons for objecting to the travel ban earlier this year and downplaying China’s role in the COVID
spread. His handlers are so afraid of keeping him away from the press that they will not allow him to do hardly any interviews for fear of another lame-brained gaffe. I have watched two parents slip into full blown dementia the last 12 years. Biden is a text book example of someone who is slipping from early to moderate dementia.

Update to my post a few days ago. My daughter did the at home test (kit) and sent it off to the lab as required in order to return to campus in a couple of weeks. In less than 48 hours, she was notified she tested positive. She has been and still is completely asymptomatic. They had inadvertently sent her two test kits. I told her to do it again and send it in to see what happens. In just over 48 hours it came back.....negative. In the meantime, we took her to our doctor and performed the "standard" (?) test and now awaiting those results. We have clearly been exposed to her during this time, although once she got the positive test back she remained quarantined from us to the extent possible. The spousal unit and I are both asymptomatic and going to be tested tomorrow, just in case. The numbers on this whole situation, IMO, are just way off. I don't believe we have had near the number of infections posted to date due to testing variables and irregularities from various facilities/labs.

And as I suspected, the standard test administered by our healthcare provider came back negative for my daughter. Yet, her "positive' test result will not be redacted and will still be counted toward the total number of infections.
