Open it all up now! This whole thing is a massive farce. The death numbers a similar to the flu!
Duh....The RIOTS cured the virus! Its amazing, who'd a thunk it! But dont get comfy kids, they're not done with ripping our freedoms away yet...just wait till they get this "pesky" little RIOT outta the way
I keep telling you people, but no you love being a salve
The only number that seems really relevant to me is the current hospitalization number. I'm glad to see that number continue to drop, as it indicates continued progress and makes it clear that we can safely open the State back up. Particularly the gyms and the schools, come August/September.
10:42am, precisely!!
Adolph Hogan needs to stop mandated wearing of these stupid mask and make it a person's choice.
These stupid mask only stops 2% - 3% of the virus. They are a scar tactic.
Italy has stated that this is not a virus but a bacteria that swells the blood in the vessels that blocks the flow of blood and that is what kills people if not treated with 100mg aspirin and a blood thinner. Ventilators are useless.
The hospitalization rate is dropping disproportionately then what it was even though the cases continue is because of the use of...........hydroxychloroquine.
That's impossible, sheeple said there would be a massive spike after OC let all them western shore people and out of staters in to spread the deadly disease.
