Dr. Birx Calls Florida, Texas and California the 'Three New Yorks'
Three months after New York state became the epicenter of the nation's coronavirus outbreak, the White House's coronavirus task force coordinator, Dr. Deborah Birx, said the country is now facing "three New Yorks." Birx called upon the American people to behave responsibly during a Today show interview Friday morning and said everyone should assume they have the virus in order to protect those with underlying health conditions and others in vulnerable groups. The U.S., which has more virus cases than any other country, surpassed 4 million cases less than 24 hours before she appeared on the program, just 15 days after reaching the 3 million mark. Birx said it was important to "change our behavior now" before the virus is able to mount a resurgence in places like New York, where its spread devastated hospitals in late March and April. Because of the intensity of its outbreak, New York was the state with the greatest number of cases until Wednesday, when California surpassed New York's virus case count with more than 400,000. For about three months, New York also held the record for the state with the largest single-day increase in new cases, until Florida broke it on July 12 with 15,299. "What we have right now are essentially three New Yorks," Birx said. "We're really having to respond as an American people, and that's why you hear us calling for masks and increased social distancing, to really stop the spread of this epidemic." You guys are so lucky!!!

Quote HistoryQuoted: I gotta say, I'm freaking out a little here.... As someone who lived through the NY situation, I totally understand what you're going through. Stay calm, limit your contact with others, wear a mask when you go out and gloves when you touch common surfaces like gas pumps, credit card readers, etc. and you'll probably be fine. After a while, things will improve, you'll fall into a routine and begin to relax some of your precautions. Try not to read too many Arfcom threads on it. @eracer |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I gotta say, I'm freaking out a little here.... No need to be. When Covid first hit most of the numbers reported were mostly folks that had bad symptoms, like enough to to to the ER symptoms. Now down here in FL they are testing everywhere and anyone. The lines are often very long and almost no in in them have any symptoms at all. Many are going because work requires a passed test to come back, many just want to know. Of course the numbers are going up.' As long as you are taking basic precautions there is very little to worry about. Ie wash your hands (gloves not needed as it make many use them too much and ignore hand washing imho) Wash your hands, keep your fingers out of your eyes and mouth (amazing at how many people do that) |

They need Texas and Florida to go blue in order to consolidate their power by usurping the executive branch of the federal government.
If Satan appeared in person and said he was running for U.S. president, and ran on a platform of promising a bunch of free stuff in exchange for burning up the Constitution and the recognition of basic human rights and freedoms, and a majority of people in this country were stupid and wicked enough to fall for it, would that mean he could be legitimately elected president? Fair is fair? Sorry your gal lost? Because that's exactly the situation we have with the democrats right now. They shouldn't even be allowed to run a candidate. The entire party should be tried for treason and dealt with as the law prescribes. If you let cancer grow and metastasize, eventually it consumes you. |

I'm in North Texas. Our county, Wichita, had around 100 total cases and two deaths, as of six weeks ago. Today, total case count is up to 808, 17 hospitalized (9 critical) and 9 deaths. County population is approximately 140K.

We had numerous poultry plants in the news here that had hundreds of workers mysteriously not show up for work the day after rumors circulated online about a possible ICE raid. One year later and they still haven't been raided. |
