"Heaven help us if they manage to successfully connect these deaths to COVID-19.
The first sentence says "COVID related" but if you read down, you'll that they're "possibly due to COVID-19."
Get ready...we may never be able to send out kids back to school."
Why isn't the media screaming about a 22% increase in just one week?-----Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19):
Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19):
These CDC reports of COVID-19 deaths show an incredible and, if true, frightening increase in deaths in just one week.
22%!
If that rate were to continue, we would reach over 101,090 total COVID-19 deaths in less than one month!
More than double the number as of May 7.
Yet we hear nothing from the media about the increase, just the total number of "deaths".
As if eclipsing the 80,000 is a goal of some political sort.
Or is it possible the democrat media doesn't want us to examine how these numbers are generated?

...instead of merely preserving hospital beds and other resources, this heavy-handed injunction has created a burden of its own design: a historic number of empty beds in systems left untouched by the pandemic.
Those hospitals have resorted to unprecedented levels of furloughs to stave off temporary budget shortfalls, but industry and economic trends point to more lasting outcomes unless immediate action is taken.

China Asked The WHO To Help Cover Up Coronavirus, German Intelligence Concludes | The Daily Caller
Chinese Leader Xi Jinping personally asked the World Health Organization to delay the release of critical information regarding its coronavirus outbreak, German intelligence has concluded.
Xi met with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on January 21 to request that he withhold information about human-to-human transition and delay the declaration of a global pandemic, according to German magazine Der Spiegel. The news comes amid rising sentiment that China should be held financially responsible for the pandemic.

PATEL: Protect Americans With American Supplies | The Daily Caller:
One of the biggest benefits of the pandemic may be a fundamental rethinking of some of our major national policies, none bigger than international trade. The theory behind free trade is not complicated or new. Trade promotes economic efficiency and prosperity. In a nutshell, trade allows each nation to produce what it’s good at (based on all sorts of factors, starting with its particular natural resource base) and to trade for the rest. This specialization of labor, in theory, lifts all nations by allocating each task to its most efficient producer.
Something Odd Is Going On In Parking Lots Around The US | Zero Hedge
Something Odd Is Going On In Parking Lots Around The US | Zero Hedge"Over the last few weeks, we have been keeping a close eye on the growing glut of automobile inventory, exacerbated by demand falling off a cliff, plunging used car prices and rental car companies suffering from an unprecedented collapse in business (or, like Hertz, simply going bankrupt).
To wit, just hours ago, we documented how declining fleet sales was having a profoundly negative impact on automakers.
Previously, we pointed out how a crash in used car prices could be putting significant pressure on the rental car industry.
And most notably, several days ago we also wrote that automakers were having so much trouble finding space for their unsellable inventory that ships bearing auto cargo from overseas were denied entry at US ports and sent back out into the ocean.
Now, we are seeing firsthand what buildups of inventory look like in major cities.
Philadelphia is rapidly becoming the case study which other cities will follow, because as Inquirer reports, the city's sports complex parking lots are now being used as lots for rental car companies based at the Philadelphia Airport.
In other words, there are so many cars available, not even airport parking lots can hold them anymore.
..Most recently, Bloomberg reported this morning that rental icon Hertz hired advisors to consider a bankruptcy and the auto industry has placed a major bet on incentives to try and move inventory off of their lots.
Based on what we're seeing in parking lots around the nation, it isn't working."

Is There A Relationship Between Global Temperature And Ocean Levels? Sure, But… | PA Pundits - International
"Alarms over rising oceans continue to sound. Politicians, actors, authors, and “climate activists” warn us regularly that the massive ice sheets in the Antarctic, and the Arctic, are melting. ...Graphic photoshopped pictures of New York skyscrapers show buildings flooded several floors high.
Shut off the alarms and let’s get back to science and examine the fundamental data and facts to see where the levels of our oceans are actually going.
Looking at Figure 1, we immediately notice that in the last 140 years, the oceans have risen nearly ten inches, an average of seven inches per century for which visual records show to have been the case for at least the past 800 years...

- People are only allowed to do the things a very few "experts" sanctioned by the state think are proper.
- Voluminous regulations are created covering every aspect of daily life and then arbitrarily and capaciously enforced.
- Those in and of the state exempt themselves from the regulations enforced on the people.
- The people bear the burden of the mistakes of the state and its experts, the state and the experts never are held accountable.
- Fear is used both as a motivator and a control.
- Enforcement is often militaristic and excessive (Meal Team 6 rolling out in an MRAP with body armor and AR-15's shutting down a small bar in Texas).
- The state has assumed control over the economy.
- The only sectors of our economy allowed to operate are those the state deems "necessary".

"It's Like Pre-Crime" - California County Launches Snatch-And-Grab COVID Spy Program | Zero Hedge
"Are you ready for this week’s absurdity?
- Ventura County, CA to hire dozens of Covid spies
"19 residents of Ventura County, California have died so far from Covid.
That’s 0.002% of the population.
...So the county government has now launched a ‘contact tracing’ initiative to hire 50 investigators, and perhaps more later, to track down people who might have Covid, “immediately isolate them,” and then “find every one of their contacts” to isolate those people as well.
They also state that, if someone has Covid and is living in a home with other family members, “we’re not going to be able to keep the person in that home. . .”
This is a mass surveillance apparatus that effectively amounts to a snatch-and-grab.
You get a knock at the door and are forcibly removed from your home and taken away from your family because some county bureaucrat traced you to someone who might have the virus..."
