When cases go up a government protects its people by adjusting the laws and issuing other tougher guidance - that makes sense.

They can say this all day long but is it truth??? India isn't counting, South of the Border (and all of South America) isn't counting, Russia counting? AND HOW ABOUT CHINA?? And, what is actually killing our Americans? Is it their aging heart and immune system? Would they have died had they had the seasonal flu or pneumonia? Don't get me wrong; dying all alone because of Covid is just horrible.

Speaking of the flu . . . why haven't we heard about any influenza cases this flu season?? Just curious.

Could it be because of folks wearing masks in public indoor spaces and social distancing? Since reading this forum and doing some research on the subject, I have found out that the flu virus is NOT a coronavirus. The flu virus is an influenza virus. So.....folks who are positive for Covid can not be positive for flu unless the person is unfortunate enough to have both viruses at the same time.

Bottom line.......Positive reports of Covid are not being made for people who actually only have the flu virus.

There's also the flu vaccine, which has been out for several months already. Anyone who "would" get the flu vaccine, has already gotten it and reaping its benefits (which means - they're not getting the flu).

So explain why states like Pennsylvania where the restrictions have been severe & mask mandates have been in place since the onset of Covid, have had more Covid cases per 1,000 than Florida, where things are operating at close to normal...
