Oh yeah, people are being so fucking responsible that we set a new record! See what "open up" gets you. If one of my aunts or parents dies from this shit, I will never vote for a Republican, even for drain commissioner.
Same logic if a relative dies due to not being able to get treatment for most of the year because of the tyrants orders?

I'd like to know what the Whitmer Death Count is, all the people that died from shoving sick people in nursing homes AND the people that unnecessarily died because of the inability to receive needed care.

We're about the same population as Sweden, but have a higher infection rate and higher death rate. We locked down EVERYTHING and they did just about nothing. True?

This is unverifiable and speculative.

Another 2,015 today. Let’s see if they affix an asterisk on this one too.

I'd like to see an asymptomatic count of positives. Typically if there is going to be an asterisk, it goes up right away.

We did FIFTY ONE THOUSAND tests yesterday. That's an all-time record. Why don't they report that?

Two week ago, we were averaging about 31,000 daily.

Oh, and the "percent positivity"?? That's around FOUR percent... just barely above the rate we've been running since the beginning of JUNE!

It's such a frickin' joke that they're playing with these numbers and not being HONEST about what's going on.

4% positivity is too high... and if we increased testing and we are still running the same it’s not under control. If it were more tests should reduce that number.

Would you rather the 400 new positives we had in July or 2,000 now? Get real.

Raw numbers don't really mean a whole lot in the context of testing capacity. I'd be willing to bet the increased testing has yielded more asymptomatic cases - people that wouldn't have been tested in July. The only people that are freaking out about raw numbers either 1) do not understand context or 2) have an alternate political agenda.

It's not that they would not be tested in July... They COULD NOT be tested in July. You had to have symptoms to get tested. PLENTY of folks were walking around not knowing they had it.... Roughly at least 4% of the population.

The flu is going around now. Masks didn't help.

A lot of people, especially Republicans, aren’t wearing masks. Gee I wonder why they didn’t help?
