Does it look like the first wave?

This is not a virus like Ebloa. Get out and enjoy life!

86 have died in Sumter county and 80% of all people who have died from Covid-19 were over 70.

Ebola killed about fifty percent of all infected but they developed a vaccine. Ebola was not as easily contagious, but far more deadly.
We had no good plan against Ebola in the U.S. Doctors were allowed to return to the U.S. from Africa and did not have to quarantine.

Governors want and have the legal obligation to plan a strategy for their state and the different states have different needs. Some state governors have been outraged when Feds wanted to step in with a national plan.

Dr. Fauci changes his tune and message on a rotating basis. Depends on who gets to him first. BTW, he's gonna be retiring real soon!!! I'd say don't trust a deep stater, read an unbiased scientific factual article you can trust. CNBC? Really biased reporting. Wouldn't trust them for anything. Whatever you do, do not trust reports coming from JB. Making up "scientific fact" seems to be his MO lately. Think for yourself, don't believe everything you read.
