The White House is claiming the Covid Pandemic is over - so why are infections and hospitalisations increasing?

Everything Trump says is a lie. If you believe him, you are an uneducated idiot, so when he says its over, it means it is getting worse, and will continue to get worse. If he tells you its fake, or tells you to take off your mask, what are you going to do? Well, obviously its real, and put your mask on.

🤔 even the data that the CDC is publishing would bring that statement into doubt.

Then Dr Fauci was on the BBC here on Sunday politely correcting most of the White House statements about Covid-19.

Finally - Covid-19 is not going away. Nature has led to the mutation of a virus into SAR-COV-2 and that is a highly infectious virus that is in the population and is being transmitted between humans with a natural R value of probably somewhere around 2.8 - 3.0. So far humans have only managed to totally eradicate one virus on the planet; smallpox and only then after decades of intensive vaccination programmes globally. We're doing well with polio now, it is limited to only a few countries again through decades of intensive vaccination programmes. So just simply nature and the science tells you that this virus is simply going to be here for the foreseeable future - years, decades, probably longer. So I think that statement is wrong and foolhardy giving people false hope - esp as USA is about to hit the winter when we know that death rates from all sorts of things including especially respiratory infections will rise. I'd wager they will soar in the next 4 - 6 months most likely.

The only way this will be over is when there is a safe and workable vaccine, people can take their mask off and I’m able to go back to watching movies at a local theater with no fear of catching COVID.
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@SW-User good luck with that...
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
Evidently the White House is lying
@Picklebobble2 Indeed, and certainly not for the first time.

@bijouxbroussard 😱 I'm shocked

oh god, i can't even make a sick joke about this...
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Yulianna it sounds pretty surreal, luckely Strongbow still gets it.
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@Kwek00 yeah, it's good we have people like that to keep our feet on the ground, so we don't lose sight of the prize.

@Yulianna there is a price? 😶

@IstillmissEP Conventional PCR, not real-time PCR. They're not the same thing. Unlike politicians, scientists know what they're doing.
Briggett · T
[@PTCdresser57 That’s pretty good way of expressing the last ten months.
It’s history repeating itself over and over again except we’re living it on a daily basis.
Didn’t ever think I would see so so many people believe in lies after lies by just one person. The bigger lies more people seem to be getting sucked in the of alternative facts or proven un-factual facts.
But all this happening because the Big Guy, upstairs is laughing his head. How many times and more chances to get their act together. Come now people it’s only about 36% of people stopping the other 17% of people who would really to change their views and joining on side of what’s right.
The sad part in all this is about trying to save face in front of co-works, close friends, family members and other loosely affiliate groups, because to walk away or give up now after 5 years of being on the same team doing the masters bidding no longer with make weak and a total looser.
Interestingly enough the masters universe, he doesn’t have any plans or alternative offers because he no place for losers. So too those who are riding the rails, going along just to along, start now thinking about your self respect. I know it’s so so very hard of a thing to do by walking away or quitting team and leave your teammates and possibly loosing place. The fifty percent are waiting and counting on you.
That diesel, it’s humming All Aboard!!
Platinum · M
@PTCdresser57 your total deaths are 1000, please explain....the tests are not accurate and over 90% testing positive have mild symptoms and the ones dying have underlying health problems...death go up every October ....
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
Because they're eeevil, and they liiie.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@DunningKruger good old "they" are at it again huh 🤔.
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@Kwek00 "They" begin, explicitly, the White House.

Context is everything.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@DunningKruger "they" work so much better without to much information 😎
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
Well, I hate to say this but... it's because Trump is a lying f*ckwit!
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Adaydreambeliever Now lets be honest... You didnt hate saying that at all.😷
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
JeanAnna · F
Another big lie by Trump. We all know the Covid is progressing, and Trump knows it too, but his supporters will believe anything he tells them. Pathetic.

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
They arent increasing.. The numbers are just going up..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman That’s right. Our president told us if we just stop [b]testing[/b] people, the numbers will drop. 😜
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
They missed a couple words. "Doing anything" about the covid pandemic is over.
Nobody00 · F
They don't. Go inside a hospital and check those magically increasing hospitalizations YOURSELF instead of trusting Fauci and Gates who have invested in vaccines as well as CDC vaccine company. Centers of Disease Creation. All these numbers and hospiralizations are only on the news and their paid websites.
Nobody00 · F
PTCdresser57 · 61-69, M
MrsFugger...I have known 2 that died...one that was hospitalized and found out yesterday that a friend...her family has 4 sick with it.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Nobody00 Did that. This is what a COVID hospital looks like (and before you complain - out of the reach of the American CDC, Fauci, Bill Gates, "Deep State" or whatever other bullcrap you believe in)
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J60fQr0GWo]
Because it’s a virus.Viruses do that.And they burn themselves out eventually...if you let them.This one won’t because we are trying to stop people getting it.....dare I suggest the USA has it right?
Cue shooting down in flames.
@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON Thank you 🤗❤️😀
Abstraction · 61-69, M
@TheSirfurryanimalWales I certainly won't be shooting you down. You articulate your position well and make some really valid points.
There are different strategies at different stages of a pandemic too, hey. In early stages you try to catch it like SARS. Our state government put us through a lockdown for the second wave - which worked - but there's a cost, yes. We're coming out now and they're trying to manage it with contact tracing, etc. It's different when it becomes widespread in a population. I only know I don't want the damn thing. I had pneumonia as a little kid of about 3 - I actually remember feeling hot, getting out of bed and going out to the paddle pool before my mum saw me through the window. So my lungs are vulnerable.
@TheSirfurryanimalWales 🤗🤗🤗.

Love you, L.

I don’t think it’s over but we have to learn to live with this and can’t be closed down. We know what we have to do now and people have to be respectful of others space and wear a mask for now.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Keepitsimple These are Americans you are talking about.................😷
Because Trump supporters are brainwashed to the point that they will believe [b]him[/b] over their own [b]eyes[/b]. Even Trumpsters who are losing loved ones from this virus aren’t grasping the severity. Some have died themselves praising him with their last breaths. It’s almost like religious fanaticism.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@bijouxbroussard Yeah, the fact that covid is the most out of control and likely the most deadly in deeply red states and people are just doubling down on their love of TRump is a... pretty horrifying insight into where humans can go when pushed far enough.
Platinum · M
That's if infections are accurate, we cannot be sure the tests work...hospitals always get busier in October ...
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Thinkerbell Very good.. At least that was creative..Now can you prove me incorrect at all?😷
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@whowasthatmaskedman

Thank you. 🤭

The proof, or lack thereof (regarding whether rally counts are correlated with voter turnout), will come on Nov 3.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Thinkerbell I absolutely agree and am happy to await the will of the people.😷
people get sick and go to an emergency care center or the hospital. if they are diagnosed with covid-19 private insurance and gov't plans must pick up 100% of the charge with no co-insurance or deductible. millions of dollars a year go uncollected because people never pay their share of the cost. if you were a doctor or hospital what would you do?
@PTCdresser57 so many tests are false positives and so many people are diagnosed the gov't doesn't have enough inspectors to verify every case.
PTCdresser57 · 61-69, M
I know all that Sara but when drs sign that a person has covid or died of it they truly believe that is the truth.
@PTCdresser57 most doctors are honest but if a hospital or nursing home threatens to pull their admitting privileges what choice do they have

@IstillmissEP Yes.. That makes perfect sense
😷
PTCdresser57 · 61-69, M
Testing Istillmiss just identifies infection and rates. Infections don't explain hospitalizations or deaths.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@PTCdresser57 But you arent supposed to look there..😷
Repete · 61-69, M
I listened very carefully and I said ( the White House said) I was wrong . The White House didn’t say a word. trump said it some of his people said it ( I think just to agree with their boss) but the white can’t speak it’s only a building .
@Repete I’m pretty sure folks mean the official statement coming from the president and/or his spokespersons. 😉
Repete · 61-69, M
I know but I couldn’t resist.@bijouxbroussard
justanothername · 51-55, M
Because the pandemic is getting WAY worse.

I didn't know the White House was claiming that.
Repete · 61-69, M
They put it on the list of things trump accomplished in his first term as president. @YoJisda1

@Repete My gosh. Three schools in my district just closed because so many kids got it.

Sorry to hear that. Take care and stay safe..@YoJisda1
purplepen · 51-55, F
People are still getting sick from it, even if it's getting redefined as a non-pandemic.

The spread can be temporarily slowed down so that healthcare services can keep up with it. At least that's what they are trying to do in Canada.

It sucks for everyone. Even the Prime Minister says it sucks.
The Republicans have a slogan "Make America Great Again", but they (purposely) mixed up one word, it should say "Make America White Again". Covid is affecting certain people more than others, and that is what they want, therefore, the Pandemic is over, now it is Ethnic Cleansing.
GERRI · 51-55, F
According to Politifact, It was listed in a press release "Ending Covid Pandemic" which could be taken as a goal and not meant as an accomplishment. Also, Politifact said it wasn't in the original press release and no one knows when it was added.
The current administrations claims in regards to Coronavirus are "alternative facts" for people that cannot do math.....

It was suppose to wipe out half the planet

It's just dumbfuck trump being in cloud cuckoo land again this time next week hopefully he will be in the nuthouse 😉😘😘

Because fake numbers, fake news at it again... and the covid hoax lives on
Elessar · 26-30, M
@SW-User These morons are the primary cause why the pandemic is still ongoing and wasn't addressed months ago, change my mind.
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@strongbow do you have any clue at all why this happened and how? Obviously not.
It’s very real and it still is and it can come back and if we don’t take big action we’re gonna go instinct before the water rise kills us
justanothername · 51-55, M
@strongbow John Hopkins university numbers are provided by hospitals with Covid patients around the US and the world.
