CDC says Covid-19 about to lose epidemic status.

[JudgeLarryDawg]

Coronavirus deaths in the country have nearly reached a level where the virus will cease to qualify as an epidemic under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules, the federal agency reported on Friday.

The CDC qualifies a disease outbreak as an "epidemic" if the number of deaths attributable to the disease exceeds a certain percentage of total deaths per week. That threshold for pneumonia, influenza and COVID-19 fluctuates slightly depending on the time of year, ranging from around 7% at the height of flu season to around 5% during less virulent months.

CDC data indicate that deaths from those ailments began skyrocketing in the country around the second week of March, hitting a peak around early May and then plummeting quickly after that.

The agency notes that the official tally of deaths "will likely change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks." Yet the number of deaths attributable to COVID-19, pneumonia and influenza have been declining for 10 straight weeks, the agency said on its website, suggesting COVID-19 may cease to qualify as an epidemic in the next few weeks.

The left will never let this happen. Then they will claim Trump told the CDC to say this which will mean a new house investigation and new impeachment.

Appears to me that impeachments help Trump. Pesky little things called facts creep out there into the ether. Helps his numbers. Impeach away! Seems to be the only times the pubs will fight for Trump, anyway. They have to, especially in the House, where they are up for reelection every 2 years. And Trump has made some kind of deal with the devil, Chinese Mitch, most likely out of necessity. Impeachment indictment trials and the ability to crown all his crony corporatist judges (better than marxists for now) make him fight for Trump in these matters.

The assertion that asymptomatic people are lining up to have a q tip shoved deep inside their head might be one of the dumbest MAGA ideas yet.

I know many people who have gotten tested out of caution for family members and to see if they have already had it. But by all means, stick to your talking points.

Not talking about antibody testing.

The many people who refuse to wear masks because covid is fake news are getting jabbed in their brains despite no symptoms. That’s what’s you are going with?

Yes, like I said, I know several people who have been tested for it without any symptoms. In case you aren’t familiar with modern Covid testing, You don’t have to do the old nasopharayngeal test. They now have tests available which just swab the front part of the nose. Very simple and not uncomfortable at all. But you should stick with your talking points since you have no attachment to science.

Out of curiosity, if you are all asymptotic why did you get tested?

One got tested for his job, and as soon as the positive result came in, we all followed suit.

In carrollton one restaurant had 1 female waitress test positive - she only got tested because she was exposed to it from another friend outside of work .....she was positive. Then one by one each of the staffers at restaurant got tested because they were around this one employee.....all tested positive and none had any symptoms......so maybe it’s not a dumb MAGA idea .....simply people being tested because they were around a friend of a friend who was positive???

Not to mention that masks are not an effective defense against Kung Flu

Watch out I had posts deleted by using that moniker. Donaldsonville dawg ratted me out..lol

He is wearing a mask!!!

The more they test positive and the death rate keeps going down, in fl 1.8%. They don't want testing now, when they were crying, like 8yr old girls, about testing 1 month ago..smdh.

Keep testing and spitting out positive tests bc every time a positive case happens the death rate is crashing. This will all backfire on the crazy left that made this political soon

According to CDC...thru July 3, less than 10% of US hospital beds are occupied with COVID patients & those suspected of having COVID. Less than 10%.
Meanwhile, the daily COVID deaths are down 84% from the April 19 peak...and falling. And those are overstated in the first place. Every audit is REDUCING the counted deaths.

Actual measured data shows there is no second wave "outbreak". We find more cases only from hundreds of thousands of tests...but infection rates are DROPPING, not falling. The virus spread is playing out, and fading. And now we find out that people who test positive for antibodies....meaning they already recovered from the virus AND ARE IMMUNE...are being counted in many states' "new cases" numbers. My goodness, that is bordering on "fraudulent".

And SCIENCE teaches us that masks are unhealthy, and can make you sick, and offer NO protection from a respiratory virus. Are they forcing people to wear masks so they can try to spread the virus??

Meanwhile, the US just had the best increase in Retail Sales in US history, along with the most new jobs created in US history. And the most black and latino jobs created in US history. This is looking terrifying for the DEM Party and their nursing home candidate.

This is actually a very critical point. Compare this to the situation in April, when the virus was at its peak, and only seriously ill people and health Care workers could get tests.

Yeah, the raw numbers of positive tests are high , but put them in context.

Well, they aren’t perfect, but they help, so wear it.

Those tests are likely few and far between, and they might even be just incorrectly done brain jabs.

The actual number of coronavirus cases in South Florida as of April 10 was 11 times higher than initially reported, a recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study that tested for antibodies revealed.

That revelation suggests more people have contracted the virus without dying, which means the infection (or true) fatality rate (IFR) may be lower than initially believed.

CDC’s findings, last updated on June 26, drove the number of coronavirus cases in South Florida as of April 10 up from over 10,500 to an estimated 117,400.

That means the IFR, which takes into account asymptomatic cases, was lower than earlier projections, standing at less than one percent (0.19 – 0.6) as of the end of April, down from at least two percent before the CDC study.

The CDC study covered the South Florida counties of Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin.

Breitbart News relied on COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) confirmed cases and death figures for those countries provided by the Johns Hopkins University tracker.

Using the new CDC and Johns Hopkins data, Breitbart News calculated that South Florida’s death rate was no more than 0.6 as of May 1, down over 80 percent from an estimated 3.6 before the antibodies study.

That mortality rate is between three and eight times lower than the earlier estimates — of two to four percent — that prompted the lockdowns

The 0.6 IFR takes into account the three-week lag, a conservative estimate, between the identification of a COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) infection and when the infected dies.

When taking the data at face value, without accounting for the time it takes for an individual to progress from being diagnosed to dying, Breitbart News determined the death rate was even lower — 0.19 percent.

In comparison, the flu’s death rate in the United State is 0.1 percent on average. Not all fatality rate estimates account for the estimated time between infection and death.

The 0.19 percent mortality rate (without accounting for the lag between infection and death), as of April 10, is down about 90 percent from about two percent before the CDC study.

According to the CDC data, the coronavirus mortality rate could be higher than the average flu, at least in South Florida.

While the number of coronavirus cases (excluding mild and asymptomatic infections) has significantly risen in Florida in recent weeks, the number of deaths has remained fairly stable, lower than the peak in May.

That again suggests more people are contracting COVID-19 without succumbing to it.

However, as explained before, there is a lag between infection and deaths, so the fatalities could increase in the next three weeks.

Florida, the third most populous state in America, has become one of the hardest-hit by COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

This report only focused on the IFR, which tends to be lower than the crude (or case) fatality ratio that excludes people with no symptoms and only focuses on the reported number of confirmed coronavirus cases.

Health experts believe the IFR is a more accurate representation of the real mortality rate.

Besides South Florida, the CDC antibodies study covered other U.S. regions.

Coronavirus deaths in the country have nearly reached a level where the virus will cease to qualify as an epidemic under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules, the federal agency reported on Friday.

The CDC qualifies a disease outbreak as an "epidemic" if the number of deaths attributable to the disease exceeds a certain percentage of total deaths per week. That threshold for pneumonia, influenza and COVID-19 fluctuates slightly depending on the time of year, ranging from around 7% at the height of flu season to around 5% during less virulent months.

CDC data indicate that deaths from those ailments began skyrocketing in the country around the second week of March, hitting a peak around early May and then plummeting quickly after that.

The agency notes that the official tally of deaths "will likely change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks." Yet the number of deaths attributable to COVID-19, pneumonia and influenza have been declining for 10 straight weeks, the agency said on its website, suggesting COVID-19 may cease to qualify as an epidemic in the next few weeks.

I think they can add a COVID-19 death if you knew someone with the virus or you were sick with a virus before testing was available.
