I’m Seeing Some Trump Fatigue Out There

  The other reason the US is seeing a surge is because Democrats have been protesting in large groups on the streets for weeks now. They are young, so they won't die, hence why you don't see death rates going up.

  Even mayor Garcetti now admits protestors are spreading the virus.

  The most damaging events haven't yet happened to Biden. The media has dealt with kid gloves over Biden, even though he's been implicated with the Epstein case - there are victims with testimony against him, his son and himself have been implicated in Russia and China making business deals, he himself has been implicated spying on the Trump campaign.

  He's just cancelled all his events and probably looking to cancel any debates, putting pressure on University of Michigan to cancel the debate and not wanting to do any replacement debate - that's right, instead of the typical 3 and not agreeing to the format of 4 debates the Democrats do themselves, we'll see 2. Watch and see, all the other debates will slowly get cancelled either by the Universities or by the Biden campaign.

  President Trump relied on info from previous admin's "experts" shutting off travel to/from Chi con territory and Europe. He freaked the LEFT out since China is there gravy train.

  Looks like President Trump is also right re/Hydroxychloroquine in spite of the FDA's inadequate research - again! Henry Ford Macomb study reports it SAVES LIVES and Fauci's Remedesivir is totally worthless after he insisted the gov't buy up as many reserves of it as possible.

  Liberals and their biases - can't admit the positives because they want the country locked down and economy dying - hummmm wonder why that is - ahh, yes, we know. Once a Dem always a Dem - thankfully so many in this country do have open minds.

  Sadly... hospitals ARE overflowing now in the US.

  And herd immunity doesn't work, as the way Sweden is going shows. The sweds can't travel openly in Europe, because of the way they are going.

  In Switzerland we didn't have a strict lockdown. But we managed to lower the infections that contact tracing is possible.

  Europe is also widely testing, not only the risk groups.

  Here in Switzerland the government showed real leadership, listened to science and showed empathy with the people.

  US is a huge country and you can't compare US to Switzerland.

  We all realize Sweden has had a rough time. All the riots in many US cities certainly haven't helped regardless of the Left's rhetoric. The bars/clubbing and social lives of the young have caused great increases, also. Death rates are down for most part which is a positive. The severity of the strain isn't making COVID patients as sick as previously and, hopefully, really is weakening although the younger ones are more resilient. The young aren't hospitalized for as long and ICU methods not as critical as in April here. Many young ones haven't taken COVID 19 seriously and have acted foolishly.

  Yes... bars and clubbing is a problem as well as riots.

  Bars and clubs here require all people to give their phone numbers and email adresses to trace contacts. Many gave fake adresses and there were some superspreaders. So bars and clubs now have to test the correct information. Many have to close down again.

  It seemed there was a surge once THOUSANDS of demonstrators hit the streets. It was amazing that no one flipped out over it yet if a guy walked down the street without a mask, they were willing to stone him!

  Sadly... hospitals ARE overflowing now in the US.

  Where our son works, 30% of nursing and support staff have been laid off and management is forcing a mandatory 10% cut on physicians under long term contract. NO overflowing conditions. Two COVID patients. At no time have there been more than 16 patients total. Two deaths (elderly from nursing homes).

  Reports from the Methodist Hospital San Antonio are different.

  Okay that CNN article is ludicrous:

  the worst day so far. He said he had 10 patients and only three beds available

  Oh no, at 70% capacity, what a disaster.

  That article is purely picking the worst case it can find, no way a giant hospital like SA Health has only 13 beds. They even have an official statement on their website saying how prepared they are.

  Big hospitals across the country are laying off and closing including SA Health who laid off 30% of their staff.

  San Antonio stats might be indicative of the hispanic community - I've not had time to check out the above-referenced link. COVID 19 is really hitting the hispanic community in the San Joaquin Valley bread basket (California) - they work in close proximity in the fields/packing sheds etc., and many don't think they'll be affected. Brutal statistics for hispanics in my state, also. Many employed in hotel business and they don't wear masks - or weren't. None of the hispanic gardeners wear face masks - they might be now that it has been mandated but the sun obviously doesn't knock the virus out or not enough skin is left uncovered - they wear so much sun protective clothing and the Vitamin D can't penetrate skin. Not good. Too many family/friend social gatherings with no social distancing/masks. The numbers are looking much better for the African Americans here. Too many use public transportation and take the infections into the nursing homes or work at more than one nursing home facility thus spreading the disease. Nursing homes are not protective of residents and have large turnover of caregivers - poor hourly pay.
