Can anybody explain this .In the USA the Infection rate is as bad now as it was in April but the average Kill rate in April was 2000+ a day but now its averaging out at about 700 . Why the big discrepancy in the mortality rate .1 Is the Fever becoming less virulent and will it just fade away .2 It was a bit of a scam in the first place and to many deaths were being put down to the fever and gave a false Mortality rate .3 America is now deliberately under counting deaths .The figures just dont seem to add up .

No.3 @ 4/6 imo.

The virus killed the weak and elderly first.  Now with some States reopening too early, it's infecting younger people who have a better chance of surviving.  But also a better chance of infecting the old and weak who avoided it the first time.  Give it a week or two and the death numbers will probably start rising.  The hospitals are also starting to run out of ICU beds.  Yep, give it a week or two...

seems to be a trend a rush to reopen by leaders with bad haircuts .Trump ,Leo Borris .Im sure there are old people in Florida ,California and Texas but the mortality rate is only 20% of New Yorks .Something just dosent add up .

Each state has it's own interpretation of a lockdown.Some parts if the US opened bars and restaurants with no restrictions nearly a month ago ignoring the health advice.

According to the telly the US had 122000 of the worlds recorded 482000 Covid deaths.They're getting it bad and they have yet to peak.Florida is gonna get it rough next killing a load of old folks.

Some of the Republican States like Florida have been telling porkies as well.  A lot of people dying of flu in Florida, for example.

And, of course, as the Stable Genius has said, they're gonna reduce testing so the virus will magically go away

Ah sure,what they don't know,won't hurt them!!

One of two things:

1) Testing extended to younger folk / what Watty said.

2) Hospitals secretly injecting patients with Dettol.

I have a Son  living in Queens--you would be arrested if found outside without a mask--everybody going about their business as usual--probably helps  that the dole is 503 bucks and federal aid is 600 bucks EVERY week--that on top of helicopter cash of 1200 bucks !
