Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be.

In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found.

On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, according to a database maintained by The Times. If the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing.

Former first lady Michelle Obama claimed on Monday night that the Trump administration was taking children from their families and throwing them into cages but failed to mention that her husband, former President Barack Obama, was the one who built them......

CDC: "... the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or #COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 8.1% during week 27 to 6.4% during week 28, representing the twelfth week of a declining percentage of deaths... "

This has me asking why new, possibly unconstitutional (illegal), mask mandates and offer tighter restrictions are being put in place.

Biden Campaign Refuses To Release Cognitive Test Results

Joe #Biden told reporters that he’s been “tested and am constantly tested” for cognitive decline... Biden never actually said what any of the results were.

I'm old enough to remember a press conference a few weeks ago when Trump said he'd been tested for COVID-19, and reporters shouted demands to know the results. Not the same if you're Biden
