    And how dumb a statement is THAT! Nothing is "going down" except some people's intelligence! New cases (hospitalizations) INCREASED by more than 80% in the last two weeks and the death rate is UP.

    Guess you cannot understand a chart, if you could you might notice the death rate has a downward curve since April 19, 2020.

    Too bad you cannot figure that out.

    Oh he's wealthy, way more than many in the US, but being a total progressive/liberal deadbeat, he had to marry into money to get his wealth, because he, like all of them are too lazy to earn wealth on his own.

    It didn't work all that well and compared to the damage of wart it did to the economy made, it is way to dangerous to try again.

    I think it's you that can't read a chart. There was no increase in cases until a few weeks ago then deaths started to rise this week. But no worry. I'll be sure to remind you when it is more obvious. :)

    1. According to the latest immunological and serological studies, the overall lethality of Covid-19 (IFR) is about 0.1% and thus in the range of a strong seasonal influenza (flu).

    2. In countries like the US, the UK, and also Sweden (without a lockdown), overall mortality since the beginning of the year is in the range of a strong influenza season; in countries like Germany, Austria and Switzerland, overall mortality is in the range of a mild influenza season.

    3. Even in global “hotspots”, the risk of death for the general population of school and working age is typically in the range of a daily car ride to work. The risk was initially overestimated because many people with only mild or no symptoms were not taken into account.

    4. Up to 80% of all test-positive persons remain symptom-free. Even among 70-79 year olds, about 60% remain symptom-free. Over 95% of all persons develop at most moderate symptoms.

    5. Up to 60% of all persons may already have a certain cellular background immunity to Covid-19 due to contact with previous coronaviruses (i.e. common cold viruses). The initial assumption that there was no immunity against Covid-19 was not correct.

    6. The median age of the deceased in most countries (including Italy) is over 80 years (e.g. 86 years in Sweden) and only about 4% of the deceased had no serious preconditions. The age and risk profile of deaths thus essentially corresponds to normal mortality.

    7. In many countries, up to two thirds of all extra deaths occurred in nursing homes, which do not benefit from a general lockdown. Moreover, in many cases it is not clear whether these people really died from Covid19 or from weeks of extreme stress and isolation.

    ...

    19. Several media were caught trying to dramatize the situation in hospitals, sometimes even with manipulative images and videos. In general, the unprofessional reporting of many media maximized fear and panic in the population.

    Oregon officials came out swinging at a group of state troopers caught on camera refusing to wear masks at a local coffee shop in Corvallis despite a statewide mandate. Surveillance video shared with local outlet The Oregonian shows what appears to be four state troopers enter a coffee shop, all without face coverings, on July 1. All employees behind the counter can be seen wearing masks. The store's assistant manager told the local paper he informed the first trooper who arrived that masks were required, but the officer allegedly refused and went on to blast the governor's mask mandate. The Oregonian reports that one unnamed trooper has been placed on administrative leave as a result of the incident, citing a statement from Oregon State Police spokesperson Timothy Fox. The agency did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment Friday.
    Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced a statewide mask mandate for all public indoor places on July 1 as part of an effort to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus as much of the U.S. is experiencing concerning new jumps in cases.

    Oregon health officials reported a record number of new COVID-19 cases on Thursday.

    Brown responded to the incident involving the troopers directly after the surveillance video from the shop, Allan's Coffee and Tea, went viral.
    "It is inexcusable that a few Oregon State Troopers disregarded my face covering requirement yesterday, and ignored a request from a fellow Oregonian to follow the rule," Brown said in a statement Thursday. "Oregon State Police Superintendent Hampton and I agree that their actions and behaviors were absolutely unacceptable."

    "Let me crystal clear: No one is above the law," she added. "Superintendent Hampton and I expect the Oregon State Police to lead by example."
    Oregon Governor Kate Brown means it.

    If we can't bring down the Coronavirus and bring it down soon, We'll be required to wear the face masks everywhere we go and that also includes 6 feet distance. I know that there will be some that won't follow the guidelines but it will be for our own good. Bottom line.
