Your posts on this topic are disgusting. You need help.

Yes, there has been an increase in testing, but this does not account for these numbers or the increase in positive results on testing. The US has had among the worst responses to the virus, and there is no Plan B from what we have now. Plan A was contact tracing back and limiting spread through lockdown and social distancing. The US did not do that, or at least not effectively. Instead, the virus became a political issue and the federal government initially refused to deal with it for fear of upsetting the stock market. This problem is similar to climate change, in that once the consequences are indisputably apparent, it's too late to do anything about it. We had the chance to avoid this calamity, but we didn't. There were warnings in January from epidemiologists and US intelligence about the threat of the pandemic, but it was too inconvenient to deal with and this is an election year. Now our economy is in shambles and people are dying. There were alternatives, but the horse is out of the barn by now

I had a conversion with another pilot, who still quotes the death rate at 5%, and doesn't take into account asymptomatic non-tested people, and totally disregards the fact that early on the people tested were the worst cases...

Estimates of 20+ million asymptomatic people prove that an overwhelming majority feel nothing, less than a common cold. But lets keep everything shut down, that'll stop it... It worked so well the first time...

The US is the wealthiest country in the world, with an overwhelming ability to test... But yeah, I'm sure they're keeping real good track of cases in Bangladesh.

“ Chang said it is common for Parkland to be at or near 100% full when we are not in the middle of a pandemic. ”



So Parkland, outside of a pandemic, is normally full anyway. Yet, it’s not even full right now during a pandemic.
