The Qanon kook running for US senate in the state of Georgia has Trump-19. This is not good , as it reminds voters that Trump supporters don't like wear masks and downplay the virus or dismiss it as a hoax.

Loeffler campaign says Georgia senator's Covid re-test was negative but she will undergo further testing
Sen. Kelly Loeffler's campaign says the Georgia Republican's previously inconclusive Covid-19 test has come back negative, but that she will continue to undergo testing for the virus.www.cnn.com
The virus is not a hoax. The hysteria regarding it’s severity to the vast majority of people is a hoax.
The hysteria is warranted for plenty of simple and easy to understand reasons. That is the case, if a person is capable of critical thinking as opposed to simply engaging in wishful thinking...
Reason 1. The virus is primarily transmitted by people who have no symptoms. Therefore, unlike the old days when you could spot someone who was visibly sick and intentionally avoid close contact with them in order to protect yourself, you can't make those assumptions about this virus.
Reason 2. The number of tested and confirmed virus cases in this country jumped by a million cases in less than a week.
Reason 3, 4, 5. The hospitals are filling up with Covid cases. Deaths are rising. And winter isn't even here yet.
Explain 3,4,5 with specificity. “Hospitals are filling up“ means nothing.
What was the exact day we decided that no one should contract the virus? Back in March, it was a 2 week shut down to flatten the curve.
Did you even read the OP?
What health care officials are trying to prevent is hospitals becoming overwhelmed. There are only so many beds and ICU beds, although wards can be converted to ICU units and long as two things are possible. First, they need ventilators and other required equipment. Secondly, they need to have additional trained personnel to care for those patients. Once that level is reached, guess what? There is no more critical care availability. A worst case scenario is when the health care workers themselves come down with the virus or are so tired or burned out that they can no longer do the work. If and when that happens, patients will be lying on gurneys, generally not cared for.
I understand the theory you are going by, but what does “Filling up” mean?
How many people are hospitalized because of the Rona and how many beds are still available?
Its like saying, “There is no widespread voter fraud.”
Its meaningless without quantification and context.
Why has Gavin Newsome gone out to dinners twice that were in full violation of his own lockdown rules? Seems to me he is not scared of the virus.
