Daily covid cases are rising again

[Tgo01]

Daily cases are starting to go up again, time for Latrin to panic.

Watch how fast the entire country DOESN'T shut down now that Orange Man is out of office. Shit, 37k daily cases and ~350 daily deaths (a 50% increase for both cases and deaths compared to last week). I do believe at that number of cases/deaths (and 50% increase from the previous week) last year there were mandated shutdowns of vast swathes of the economy, mandatory masks, mandatory social distancing, some states and locales even had police checkpoints to ensure you were allowed to be out and about, and some states such as Michigan even outlawed being within 6 feet of another person not part of your household even if you were just walking down the street, the president and every governor was even coerced into making a daily press briefing because of how serious the virus was, and of course every Democrat governor was saving lives and Trump and Republican governors were personally responsible for every death that happened in the country and within their own state.

Now though I hardly even hear about the virus anymore. Almost as if Trump was right when he said the Democrats' response to the virus was a political hoax....HUMMMMM.....

I still hear about it... and obviously you do as well since you knew the daily covid cases were on the rise again.

Democrats certainly weaponized the virus for political gains though.

I was just bored and checked out this link: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

I do still hear about the virus, it's just no where near the extent I heard about it last year when cases/deaths/increases over previous week were at the levels they are at now. Last article I read about the virus said cases were increasing at an alarming rate in LA and I think the main reason they even did an article on that was because LA county brought back mask mandates. This is nothing compared to last year where nearly every news article was about the virus and how Republicans didn't care about people dying. Now apparently no one cares about people dying because the most the entire country has right now is mask mandates.

Here are the top stories according to Apple:

Floodwaters still rising in western Europe with death toll over 110
Congresswoman arrested while demonstrating for voting rights on Capitol Hill
Ohio man's rescue of mother and son, 10, at North Carolina beach caught on drone footage
2 charged with plotting to blow up Democratic headquarters

Top stories according to Microsoft:

Death toll from European floods passes 100
Who will blink first? Observers say Texas gov. has advantage over Dems
Arizona State Senator calls for new election, says Biden electors must be recalled
After a steep plunge in cases, every state is seeing an uptick

Out of 8 top stories there is a whole one story mentioning the virus and that downplays the shit out of it as merely every state "seeing an uptick" in cases. A 50% increase in cases and deaths compared to last week is an "uptick?" Shit with these numbers it was the end of the world when Trump was president. Trump was 100% spot on yet again when he said the Democrat response to the virus was nothing but a political hoax.

Almost like something major changed in the last year...majority of people at risk now are the ones who have chosen not to be vaccinated.

So you don't REALLY care about saving lives, just the lives of people who do things you want them to do.

It wouldn't really be much of an "I told you so". Total cases are still extremely low, especially considered to last year at this time. It is following the same model of rise from last year, just at a waaay slower rate. We'll probably have another decline and then another, larger rise is sept/oct.

I think we are basically just seeing seasons that will continue to peter out as time goes on and medicines advance.

Well yeah but Latrin posts "I told you so" posts even when he was completely wrong.
