#'s MO, post every POV so he can always go back and claim he was "right". Funny stuff!
Bad choice of words. The virus has killed over 105,000 people, over 450 in 1 day in NJ and over 800 in i day in Ny. Ny has tested incredible well that most of the positives have been flushed out in combination with the lockdown and social distancing that reduced the virus and it’s positive rate. The Virus is clearly not losing steam in Brazil killing over 1100 in a day and a lot of South America countries and in Sweden. Behavior , masks, social distancing has managed to slow the spread. If you do not think a super spreader coming off a plane from Brazil or from another South American country cannot spike this virus up again, you are not paying attention.
We already know that Murphy's nursing home policy killed over 5,000 people. He also fired one whistleblower to hide the truth and now more are coming forward. This is not going to end well for Murphy.
You must be kidding me. Part of NJ’s problem has been the lack of testing and the lack of quick results from testing that caused the spike. Despite having the saliva test, from Rutgers early, it couldn’t be scaled up quick enough to use effectively and I am still not sure it is available statewide. When NY was doing 25,000-30,000 tests per day , NJ was doing 5000-9000 per day. Mobile sites were closed by 10 am after 500 tests. Total failure. NY with to robust testing ramped up testing to 40,000 per day and last week 60,000-65000. NJ finally got to 20,000 in the last 5 days. It is about time . He shouldn’t be claiming any success in discussing testing. He should be discussing how and where to get the saliva test so symptomatic and asymptomatic people can be tested to further reduce the positivity rate and isolate.
You aren't paying attention. I was talking about here not another hemisphere. My statement is based on facts.
In the name of Science and for the good of all mankind, I volunteer to be that lab rat...
Oh yeah. I forgot it cannot go from one place to another. Lol!
Why are you confused? You stated you were not talking about South America but put your head in the sand that it can travel back here with a super spreader to respike things here.
More support to have Murphy move up the opening from June 22 toJune 8. Most barbers and hair salons are already ready and have taken precautions.
OMG. You are dumber than salt. Someday you might understand how ridiculous that statement is.

Just stop with ridiculous posts like this. The deaths have mostly dropped due to cases dropping, overall, which is largely due to NY/NJ cases/deaths dropping hugely, while cases/deaths in much of the rest of the country have stayed fairly level with some increasing/some decreasing. The other factor in deaths decreasing a bit more than cases, proportionally, is likely improved treatments in hospitals, particularly use of convalescent plasma, remdesivir and others, as well as better understanding of how to prevent/treat the cytokine storm. Has zero to do with the virus losing potency and no evidence that that is happening has been presented in any scientific form I know of.
Because social distancing is way more important and people wearing masks think they are bullet proof. Every single day many people walk up close to me and all of my associates to ask a question. Most pull their masks down to talk too. I'd rather have someone stay 6 feet or more away from me than wear a mask next to me.

Yep, he tweeted "tomorrow" earlier today. Let's hope it has some efficacy, although my fear is it will be equivocal, since most mildly ill patients get better without treatment, so finding statistically meaningful effect could be difficult with the study size.
I've posted numerous studies showing masks are effective in filtering out virus-sized particles and of course, much larger virus-laden droplets, as well as a great study showing even cloth filters greatly reduce transmission in the hamster model, which is a very good respiratory model for humans (since we can't ethically test transmission in humans). That plus the fact that all of the countries that have best controlled the virus are highly compliant with wearing masks, especially in crowded locations like subways. Do I need to go find these and link them for you or are you capable of finding them on your own? Or do you somehow think these studies are flawed and if so, please elaborate, although my confidence in your ability to build a scientific rationale for your case is pretty low.
I am not saying the virus is weakening, but you have to admit these world graphs do suggest it is possible:
