Florida, AZ, Alabama spiking...Jacksonville FL has closed restaurants again, Miami looking to do the same.

There's more testing which shows more being sick.

Need to watch those hospital beds to gauge if things are truly bad. If begs remain empty thats a very very good thing!!

"Cases" is a meaningless metric that the media uses to scare the ignorant. It literally means nothing because it is not a deadly disease to the healthy individual. But the general public is too stupid to understand that most people dont even know they have it.

So, in a normal year the hospitals just close up during the summer right?


THERE IS NOTHING EARTHSHAKING ABOUT COVID 19

Why is it still mandatory we have to where this useless mask instead of personal choice.

Everybody wants facts but they will not listen when Fauci, medical and scientist claims they only stop approx. 2%-3% of the germs. That means we are breathing in 97%-98% of these germs.
