Amid his confirmation that he “shut the nation down” if scientists told him too, Joe Biden explained just what the Trump admin had got wrong (and how to ‘fix’ it)…

“In order to keep the country running and moving and the economy growing, and people employed, you have to fix the virus, you have to deal with the virus.”

Well the good news is… as the following five charts from John Merline’s Issues & Insights blog show, the US is ‘beating’ the virus…

If the Democratic National Convention made anything clear, it is that Democrats are entirely invested in making the coronavirus pandemic look worse than it is in the United States. . . .

In his acceptance speech, Joe Biden said “Just judge this president on the facts. Five million Americans infected by COVID-19. More than 170,000 Americans have died. By far the worst performance of any nation on Earth.” Later he said, “We lead the world in confirmed cases. We lead the world in deaths.”

 

Fact checkers somehow missed Biden’s flagrant abuse of statistics. NPR’s “fact check” of Biden’s speech said only that, if anything, Biden undercounted the number of COVID-19 deaths.

But the number of infections and deaths is meaningless out of context. What matters is how many have died per capita, how many who’ve been infected have succumbed to the disease and where the trends are right now. . . .

Source: Worldometers

On confirmed cases per million, the U.S. ranks 9th, but this is in part due to the extensive testing we’ve done.

In fact, despite what Biden and Co. will have you believe, we are in the top of the pack when it comes to COVID-19 tests per capita (19th out of 215 nations).

Source: Worldometers

(Note also that only four of the other 36 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations do better than the U.S. on tests per capita.)

When it comes to the case fatality rate – the share of confirmed cases who have died – there is no comparison.

Source: Worldometers

Not only does the U.S. outperform most countries – as well as the world overall – the case fatality rate in the U.S. has been steadily declining.

 

Finally, there’s the chart Democrats really don’t want you to see: The number of new COVID-19 cases peaked a month ago and has been trending downward ever since.

Source: Bloomberg

Not only is the epidemic becoming less deadly, but its spread has slowed.

Democrats don’t want you to know any of this, and neither does the Trump-hating press. Democrats can’t let you know if they hope to reclaim the White Hosue and take control of Congress based on fear and panic.

The chart from Bloomberg Key is titled, “Price Change 1 Day Net”. Either that is an error on Bloomberg’s part or it is fake, sorry to say.

CDC quietly updated facts. True COVID deaths less than 10,000. Most deaths related had 2-3 serious other health dx and most of those were of the elderly population. Look

    Tyler Durden is a pseudonym to protect the individual’s true identity from those that would attack him, he is labeled as a “user” (probably contributing writer) for Zero Hedge.

I always had an idea that since my friend deals with plagues and viruse and I deal with natural diasters. We pray and it gets done, We seek the hand of God as well as His heart because of the diasters and viruses, but we are directed by the Hand of God- to be specific, if one of diasters or storms or plagues is not doing its job in bringing souls to Christ we pray against it.
We are only interested in obeying His direct call and stand against what is not in His direct call. Stand against the darkness and it will cease to be a problem. Stand on your authority as a believer then Satan and all his cohorts have to flee. Put on the armor of God daily and fight and then watch as miracles start happening. Remember it only takes one to chase away 1000. You are the beacon of light in a dark and dangerous world.

Why is it assumed all Democrats are lying and evil? What about the lies and inaction on the Republican side? The rhetoric of the past four years that appears to support racism, disrespect cherished American values, belittle people with disabilities, ignore the environment, suggested violence during his first campaign, and ignores medical advice, all of which strike me as contrary to Christ’s teaching, truly pains my soul. I pray for both parties, for collaboration, for goodness, and for an end to this virus that not only kills some but results in lingering effects for others. Dear God, bring us yo your live, truth, and healing.

And please don’t forget, the CDC and associated sources are intentionally misleading the stats. Non-covid deaths “reported” as covid. Same with “confirmed cases”. So the bottom line is, the CDC numbers and charts are greatly exaggerated and our rates are in truth, substantially lower. (We’ve encountered MANY personal instances to confirm this claim, that we first learned about through internet stories. I was astounded to learn of friends who experienced these non-accurate reporting scenarios first hand, in great numbers.) Seek Jesus always and let the truth calm fearful hearts.

Need to see WEEKLY CHARTS, not “Cumulative”

Here is the HOSPITALIZATION RATE page from CDC. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE WEEKLY CHART…

You have to
1) Shrink your screen size to 67% so you can “OK” the block out page.
2) Switch the TOGGLE from CUMULATIVE to WEEKLY.

I also advise un-clicking all the various age groups and then clicking “OVERALL” in the Box on The Left of The Page…

THIS CHART PUTS A WHOLE IN THE BALLOON IMMEDIATELY… May it RUN RAPIDLY and BE GLORIFIED in JESUS’ NAME (2 Thes 3:1-3).

The whole thing is 1) One has too LOOK FOR the WEEKLY charts, 2) One has to LOOK FOR the WEEKLY HOSPITALIZATION RATE, and, 3) One has to LOOK FOR the WEEKLY NEW DEATHS.

The MEDIA is CONSUMED with CUMULATIVE CHARTS. They will go up EVERY WEEK, but think of it like a BASEBALL CARD or a RUNNING BACK’s CAREER STATS… Obviously, their production AS A ROOKIE and in their EARLY CAREER was more impactful than their last years. If you look at LIFETIME ONLY, each year gives them more hits or strikeouts, touchdowns or yards, even if they only had 1 each in their last years. If we have 1 more case this week than last, the CUMULATIVE will be higher, while the WEEKLY RATES DESCEND… The WEEKLY CHARTS are on WIKIPEDIA, I will post it separately, BELOW, and ONE CAN FIND SOME WEEKLY CHARTS starting about 1/2 WAY DOWN THE PAGE… They do not show WEEKLY HOSPITALIZATION CHART, is MUCH LOWER, I found one on CDC but it has a block-out screen that must be Ok’d AND then have the default switched from CUMULATIVE to WEEKLY… Pray WEEKLY CHARTS are distributed on FOX and OTHER MAINSTREAM MEDIA SITES…

Not surprised and praise God, our prayers have been heard. We are doing as He asked, repenting and praying and praising. May our Savior be with us each and every minute.

Be not discouraged everyone. The Lord works at His speed His wonders to perform. He promised to never leave us alone and that means in the good and tough times. He is there.

Thank You Triune God, for Prayer Warriors. Thank You, Lord for James Fielding’s “reply”. Seems to me James has done his homework. Facts he shared I was not aware. One of our Founding Fathers warned about the importance of the electorate being educated on truthful facts. How can we be competent “voters” if we haven’t considered the facts?.

Heavenly Father thank you for those who do the studies and the truth the studies prove, so correct information is spread. Lord, please place a desire, and open the “eyes and ears” of the Electorate before they go to the polls to vote in November. For all who desire truth, fairness, solutions to world problems seems to me there is a clear choice. Our ways are not Yours, Lord, and our ways are never perfect as Your’s are, but You give us enough Truth so we know the Truth if we open our eyes and ears to it. I appeal to Your eternal Mercy, Forgiveness, and Grace to heal our land, and preserve Your America and world. In Jesus Name. Amen

I had actually researched on my own comparing our deaths per million with France using the readily available statistics and was surprised to find that ours was much less. So much for socialized medicine being “better” than our system. I compared our deaths with a country in South America, and found the same difference.

Not surprised at all. Democrat party are liars. Took God out of their speeches and bowed down to Belial. Just because they got a black running mate doesn’t mean anything to me and I’m black. I vote for whomever stands for the commandments of the Word of God! Voting for Trump administration again! The agenda of God shall prevail. This nation will repent and return to God!

    Hi Tracey,

    I am a Black female and I not voting for sin, apostasy and debauchery no matter what it looks like: a white mainline Democratic male or a black charismatic attractive female. All the young black females are not falling for this wool-over-their eyes. Some want to know what is Kamala’s platform.Some may not vote because they said Biden will be President. Also, young black single mothers don’t want homosexuality forced on their children by Arthur, Disney, Frozen and other cartoons. Please pray that they will vote for the right person. Honestly, many who are not Christians will not vote.

It really doesnt matter what biden thinks. He is a CRIMINAL and is about to be PROSECUTED in Ukraine for the theft of at least $17.4 billion “U.S. Aid”(hillary), by forcing the then Ukrainian President to pay a bribe/% of it or not receive any Aid at all. biden ARROGANTLY bragged about it awhile back.

The bribe $ was bounced around the globe via banks making it difficult to trace and ended up in their personal accounts and the dnc chicago.

And Ukraine is proceeding.

I applaud Ukraine for NOT BEING COWARDS about this like the gao,doj, fbi, homeland security, cia, etc ARE COMPLETE COWARDS. Because they are involved(?).

This same CRIME was repeated in at least 5 different countries. Forcing them to pay bribes for U.S. Aid.

Understand why the emails were deleted now??? Some 55,000 Judicial Watch has uncovered.

Every day that passes GETS WORSE! for them. They are all lieing and screaming now.

They knew about covid also. Italian media reported China researching in 2015! Google it! peloZi ARROGANTLY said, she “knew about the virus, chose to focus on her HATE CRIMES/illegal impeachments instead”. THEY ALL KNEW, 2015. Which means THEY are responsible for that also. Their goodship lollipop has serious flaws.

Not all those that say Lord, Lord, will be there.

62 million abortions . . . 10X WORSE than Hitlers innocents murdered.

Shall I continue? I doubt those who drank their koolaide like me much.

Its pretty simple. GOD IS NOT MOCKED by “democrats”. He has seen perversions before. Anybody know where?

    Apparently, we have an easy antidote already – HCQ, when used properly. But it is being banned or made difficult to get hold of. The Ohio Health Department banned it, but were forced to retract within a day or two. Thank the Lord for that! How evil is it, that a good treatment exists, yet there are forces that prefer to let people die by preventing them from receiving it?
