Here is the presstitute CNN's report on US Covid-19 cases—https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/09/health/us-coronavirus-sunday/index.html .

According to the report, the US has the most cases of all countries and the highest number of deaths.  If this is correct, it says something about our health care system and the quality of leadership at CDC and NIH.  Normally, CNN is very supportive of both.

There are people who, for whatever reason, claim that the pandemic is a hoax and that no one has died, much less the 1,000 daily deaths reported.  It is all a plot of various descriptions.  I wish these people would shut up as they enhance the believability of the
"conspiracy theorist" charge that is used to dismiss truth-tellers.

Another group of skeptics believe the threat is over-stated and that precautions such as masks and social distancing are unnecessary.  They argue that these precautions are dangerous in themselves and are a new form of making us subservient to the state.  

The problem with these skeptics is that by dismissing precautions they elevate the infection rate and, thereby, play into the hands of those who intend mandatory vaccinations and a "health passport."  

The virus is real, and people of all ages die from it.  It is true that deaths are concentrated in those with health conditions.  These people are concentrated among the elderly who have not lived healthy lives or are genetically predisposed to health conditions.  Why some of the young die and others do not even come down with a bad cold is unknown.
