the media is getting the US hook line and sinker by constantly (mind you, THEY get to work from home) on reporting cases, cases hotspots, cases post partial opens.

they never give us the test : death ratio, or case : ventilator ratio. why? perhaps because Trump was anxious to re-open, and they MUST go opposite of everything the POTUS stands for , at all costs. seems so.. a shame as it stresses many already vulnerable psyches on up to the whole suicide rate skyrocketing and thusly depression and hitting going up manyfold.

look at this CDC graph:

COVID-19 Provisional Counts - Weekly Updates by Select Demographic and Geographic Characteristics

what great progress. and points out the constant refusal to provide stats on age demographics.

- 80% of deaths are 65yrs on up
- 91% of deaths are 55yrs on up.

Hank Aaron hitting his 755HR while hitting .229, does not make for some prolific season in time.

why are our seasoned fellow citizens not bifurcated from the youth? it doesn't fit the SIP narrative. instead we get 'shaming reports of 20 and 30 somethings at bars. that is pretty much what we need for the virus to bounce off ppl with antibodies and eventually give up. meanwhile, not forcing already infected seniors back into nursing (we will NEVER forget Gov. Cuomo). protect our seniors vehemently and this will go over like a very bad influenza season.

so the next time you get that frightening cases only piece....and do know/remember that fear sells, and that they are out for marketing clicks, nary any journalistic unbias.

Please show me ANY objective evidence that the "suicide rate is skyrocketing."
