Why aren’t the recent cases and deaths at Snow Hill Nursing Home mentioned?
52000k population not including vacationers and how many were actually sick? So absurd at this point.
how many people even had any symptoms? or even knew they had it.The flu is alot worse!
The nursing home immediately implimented quarantine sections. The state followed up, and found the operation to be in compliance.
The rate will go back down after Labor Day. There are so many instances of over-reporting (lying, really) that not much confidence should be placed on the numbers anymore.
OH , but the Md Governor Boss Hog says everything is okay !! Dugh
How many are from out of state, another area, not locals? How many were in OC large crowds?
Fortunately Worcester is a heavy Republican area and CV19 doesn’t effect Republicans!
It is a bunch of BullSh--t! Not a True statement! Truth in reporting Covid=19 cases!!
CNN reported 5 Trillion deaths 🤣 in Worcester
Stay away from OC!
Uh huh ......
Can Biden please get tested what kind of precedent he setting for all the children. Biden please do better. In a few weeks your finger will be on the nuclear warhead and you might have the most deadliest virus known to mankind eating aware and raging through the White House. Harris get tested now.
Northwest Woodsman: Enough of this BS! Yes, there is a flu virus floating around out there but repetition of these baseless statistics is ridiculous. They quote a 4.1 rate but unless you have tested 100% of the population, that figure is meaningless. Many people have had it, had little or no symptoms and recovered without complications. The reality is that it is a danger if you have some serious pre-existing issues and then you may be at risk. However, you would be at risk if it were just a normal flu season anyway. Just take reasonable precautions like wiping down shopping cart handles, door handles, etc., and get on with your lives. Don’t continue to cower in fear because of the promotion of this flu for political reasons. All of the major media continues to hype this as a component of the general plan to prevent President Trump’s re-election. Use your observation skills. People are not dropping like flys around you like the ridiculous claims that have been floating around the media for the last three or four months. We’ve been had folks! Start fighting back. I’m seeing more and more people returning to normal living and that is a good sign.
Right.....tell that to someone who doesn’t know any better.
Great, we don't care. Open the economy.
