180,174 dead Americans, 5.841+million infected. Trump Flu has now killed over 180,000 Americans. Texas led in deaths 169. Republican Governor Greg Abbott had to make a mask mandate in many Texas counties because the citizens weren’t bright enough to wear one. A great slogan is; No mask, no shirt, no shoes, no service. Why don’t these right wing dopes complain about having to wear shoes in a store?
Rough conference call on Friday, huh?
Guess your belt didn't make pph this week.

Only 169? Sounds like they are on the way down. Why would the governor go and mandate something that will likely help the virus to spread more easily? Oh, that's right, pressure from a witless, anti-science, superstitious public. Apparently from outside of Texas, if Texans were smart enough to know not to wear masks to begin with.

You forget weekend numbers are always lower. Doctors and nurses wear masks in hospitals. They work. That’s why they use them. That’s why 99 out of 100 doctors suggest ALL Americans wear masks. Texas has been devastated, rocked by Covid19 a horrible example to use.

I love that tired Doctors and Nurses line.
That's faulty deductive reasoning. Don't feel bad, a lot of hoaxperts are spreading that superstitous nonsense. I wouldn't expect you to know any better.

180,614 dead Americans, 5,875+million infected. Yesterday saw another 430 Americans die of Covid19. Texas led the way with 90 dead. America should hit 200,000 by mid-September. Making 2020 one of the deadliest years in American history.

Someone who believes only 4700 Chinamen have died from covid-19 probably shouldn't be calling other people dumb.
Carry on.

I fully support you moving to China to experience their superior way of life.
Virus’s retreat in Brazilian Amazon upends notions of herd immunity
The hospital system was coming apart. Coronavirus patients were being turned away. Basic necessities – beds, stretchers, oxygen – had run out. Ambulances had nowhere to take patients. People were dying at home. Gravediggers couldn’t keep up.
The human destruction in the Brazilian city of Manaus would be “catastrophic,” physician Geraldo Felipe Barbosa feared.
But then, unexpectedly, it started to let up – without the interventions seen elsewhere.
Hospitalizations of coronavirus patients plummeted in the state from a peak of more than 1,300 in May to fewer than 300 in August. Excess deaths in Manaus fell from around 120 per day to practically zero. The city closed its field hospital.
In a country devastated by the novel coronavirus, where more than 3.2 million people have been infected and over 105,000 killed, the reversal has stunned front-line doctors. Manaus never imposed a lockdown or other strict containment measures employed successfully in Asia and Europe. And what policies did exist, many people ignored.
The factors that are helping to keep the virus at bay in Manaus and other cities remain unclear. Changed behaviors and individual community characteristics surely play a role. Manaus is testing far more than it once did. But whatever the dynamic, scientists and health officials are starting to wonder whether early prognostications about herd immunity overshot the mark.
It was initially believed that between 60 and 70% of the population needed to develop antibodies to reach collective immunity. But Guayaquil never broke 33%. Manaus, the capital of Amazonas state, never got past 20.

Yeah, the real experts have been saying 10 to 20% for a while now. Almost everywhere that has gotten past its peak is confirming that range.
