C'mon Rick. You know it's just fear porn to extend the manipulation and control as the overall numbers continue to plummet.

227/54,906 - .00413
141/54,906 - .00257

Do we know if any of the test subjects had any other health concerns which made them susceptible to covid? No. So much necessary information is missing from **** like this. Doesn't matter tho, media and individuals such as yourself, will still report as irrefutable fact.

Come on man.... We know the virus affects everyone differently. Let alone the negligible difference in the above numbers anyway. If you can't see the light at this point, it is what it is man.

I said it was "reported". Take that for what you think it's worth. Reuters has been one of the least hysterical of the MSM.

The people most likely to get exposed to covid have either already had it or been vaccinated at this point, so yeah I'd expect cases to go down. That doesn't mean the new variant is any more or less contagious, just that covid's (any variant's) best avenue for expansion has been largely blocked.

How can you say it is more contagious if less people are getting it, regardless of the reason?

Take a look at Hungary's numbers. Not looking very good.

Oh well, prepare for another lockdown and shutdown. I knew things were looking too good there for a couple of weeks.
