It is the CDC data, not a talking point. That's the difference between right and left. You think everything is a talking point because you deny the existence of objective factual reality, literally everything depends on how you see it.
I try not to self promote my
blog but I'm going to retype the whole thing. All the links are in the blog page, in bright pink. Even the NY Times has recognized that 90% 90%, yes, I said 90% of all those 6 million positive tests are at worst a symptomatic at worst, possibly containing a very significant percentage of false positives (like all 77 NFL positive results). That news may suck for you politically, and you may not want to hear it but the people your side has been citing for 7 months deconstructed their entire threat projection, very quietly, in three days last week. Fauci, you know, the genius.
The CDC has analyzed something like 75 million tests in getting to the result I'm happy to say I predicted in March. Covid is not a hoax but it is a hysteria. You can argue that a 90% a symptomatic and false positive rate isn't important, not a good argument but at least an argument. But you cannot argue, without some who has access to the world's largest cache of American COVID data (the CDC), that the numbers are the numbers. Random Drs. of this or that simply do not have access to data that supports their always scary opinions-that never really come to pass but by the time the public notices the Polar Ice shelves have not melted there's a scary new kind of Zombie Apocalypse disease that will infect tens of millions, kill millions, and swamp the American healthcare system-which of course turns out to be entirely science fiction as well.
The CDC has overestimated and exaggerated the threat all year. But if you've been reading their weekly releases you'd notice that new Covid cases were under the baseline projections for 18 consecutive weeks-its a little paragraph the CDC buries every week in data sets and points. But please, keep the shut down going in the Blue States cuz the aren't blaming Trump for the shut down (another statistical fact you might not enjoy). That last sentence is a right wing talking point, and a really good one.
