There hasn't been. People are:
1) mixing and matching two non-comparable data sources.

2) not accounting for the fact that deaths can be classified as pneumonia *and* COVID-19.

It is stunning that such a simple question is still causing so much debate.
Has there been a pneumonia-death surge in Florida or not? twitter.com/ASlavitt/statu…

This is pretty grim...
Virus Survivors Could Suffer Severe Health Effects for Years

OMG!
Some recovered patients report breathlessness, fatigue and body pain months after first becoming infected. Small-scale studies conducted in Hong Kong and Wuhan, China show that survivors grapple with poorer functioning in their lungs, heart and liver. And that may be the tip of the iceberg.
20 years ago when cargo pants were a thing, a local news station ran a report based on the fact that kids had, you know, a lot of pockets. The teaser was "are Bay Area teens DRESSED TO KILL?".
What a joke, take a Purell bath, nutter.

"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
Back in April I mentioned the importance of Zinc with HCQ when I said this:
Since then many stories have been written about it and I noticed that the studies of HCQ not being effective did not use it in this cocktail. Well now I see someone else noticed the same thing:I don't think HCQ is worth a darn by itself. It needs to be combined with Z-Pack and Zinc
MYSTERY surrounds why an anti-malaria drug is not being tested as a Covid-19 treatment in combination with zinc, which doctors say is crucial for efficacy.
As we reported recently, President Trump revealed he was taking hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) alongside zinc after reports that many doctors are doing the same to help ward off Covid-19.
Criticism of the President rose sharply after a non-randomised study published in the Lancet said that HCQ provided no benefit to hospitalised Covid-19 patients while being linked to increased deaths.
What the mainstream media did not point out is that the Lancet study failed to test HCQ with zinc. Other experts have found zinc to be vital for efficacy in this context...
With regard to reporting of the Lancet’s finding about increased deaths, Adams asked whether this should be seen as a surprise ‘given that we know the HCQ can have some heart issues with people who already have heart issues. Do [elderly people who are dying from coronavirus] have strong hearts? Probably not’.
He added: ‘What they don’t do on CNN is mention that if you don’t test it with the zinc [then] I’m not sure that you’ve really tested the thing that has the most promise. Where is that [test]?’
He has a point. A number of doctors say zinc is essential.
I've had this same question:
I want what this author wants...the truth...not politics because lives are at stake. I'm more interested in lives than who's President:The above makes the question of why zinc was not used in the Lancet study more baffling. And why don’t the media note that the combination of zinc and HCQ is crucial?
https://conservativewoman.co.uk/mala...-missing-link/Sadly, with a Presidential election approaching, it’s doubtful whether the barrage of fake news over this treatment will be replaced by professional reporting. We can only hope that the truth – whatever it may be – will win out in the end.
Without getting into the politics of the situation, from a pure covid-19 perspective, what's happening today figures to be... very very bad.
72 protesters got sick at a relatively dinky anti-lockdown protest in Wisconsin. I guess at least most seem to be wearing masks, but I don't think that's going to matter much with how tightly packed everything looks.
What would you say.....ya do here?
Ship sailed, we're full steam ahead. It honestly doesn't matter at this point. Everyone who might die is going to die, it's already baked into the system.
I don't know why we're bothering with anything anymore, truly. Sports should fully reopen, etc. I don't think it would make any difference.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
It seems all those idiots yelling at people were indeed wrong because once again WHO comes out with a different opinion.Unreal
