Yep and the elite liberal politicians don't care at all that massive genocide of the black community may be the result of them actually encouraging and attending the protests/riots/looting and not saying a word about COVID 19, knowing the black community is far more likely to die from it than any other race.

it's funny how the "world" will protest a movement hijacked by propaganda, but Hong Kong has been fighting the good fight for over a year yet barely any attention is drawn to it. Where's the world wide protests for that?. a reply to: CriticalStinker

And the census is this year, could that also be tied to it? It would be a conundrum for the Dems, they need the black vote in November, yet they're trying to eliminate blacks? That doesn't make sense. Unless, of course, they're going to try to pin the deaths on Republicans.

Philosophy
Definition: The word philosophy is derived from Greek roots that mean “love of wisdom.” As used here, philosophy is not built on acceptance of belief in God, but it tries to give people a unified view of the universe and endeavors to make them critical thinkers. It employs chiefly speculative means rather than observation in a search for truth.
How can any of us acquire true knowledge and wisdom?
Prov. 1:7; Ps. 111:10: “The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge . . . [and] of wisdom.” (If the universe were not the product of an intelligent Creator but only of some blind, irrational force, then no unified view of the universe would be possible, would it? Nothing that would qualify as wisdom could result from a study of something that was itself irrational, could it? Those who attempt to understand the universe or life itself, while endeavoring to leave God and his purpose out of account, meet with constant frustration. They misinterpret what they learn and misuse facts that they glean. Leaving out of account belief in God destroys the key to accurate knowledge and makes impossible any truly consistent framework of thought.)
Prov. 2:4-7: “If you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it, in that case you will understand the fear of Jehovah, and you will find the very knowledge of God. For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; out of his mouth there are knowledge and discernment. And for the upright ones he will treasure up practical wisdom.” (Jehovah provides needed help through his written Word and his visible organization. An earnest desire and personal effort, including the use of one’s thinking ability in a constructive manner, are also necessary.)
Is it realistic to expect to find absolute truth from this Source?

What is the origin of human philosophies?
They come from people who have limitations: The Bible informs us: “It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” (Jer. 10:23) History testifies that trying to ignore that limitation has not produced good results. On one occasion, “Jehovah proceeded to answer Job out of the windstorm and say: ‘Who is this that is obscuring counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up your loins, please, like an able-bodied man, and let me question you, and you inform me. Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you do know understanding.’” (Job 38:1-4) (Humans by nature have limitations. Additionally, their experience in life is relatively brief and is usually confined to one culture or one environment. The knowledge they possess is thus restricted, and everything is interconnected to such an extent that they constantly find aspects that they had not adequately considered. Any philosophy that they originate will reflect these limitations.)
They are developed by humans who are imperfect: ...
They are influenced by demonic spirits: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) “The one called Devil and Satan . . . is misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Rev. 12:9) “You at one time walked according to the system of things of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience.” (Eph. 2:2) (Philosophies that encourage people to disobey God’s wholesome and upright requirements reflect such an influence. No wonder that, as history testifies, human philosophies and schemes have often brought grief to large segments of humankind.)
Why is it an evidence of clear thinking to study the teachings of Jesus Christ instead of human philosophy?
...
Col. 2:8: “Look out: perhaps there may be someone who will carry you off as his prey through the philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary things of the world and not according to Christ.” (What a sad mistake it would be to choose such deceptive human philosophy in preference to acquiring true wisdom as a disciple of Jesus Christ, the second-greatest person in the universe, next to God himself!)
How does God view the “wisdom” offered by human philosophy?
1 Cor. 1:19-25: “It is written: ‘I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectual men I will shove aside.’ Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the debater of this system of things? Did not God make the wisdom of the world foolish? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not get to know God, God saw good through the foolishness [as it appears to the world] of what is preached to save those believing. . . . Because a foolish thing of God [as the world views it] is wiser than men, and a weak thing of God [as the world may see it] is stronger than men.” (Such a viewpoint on God’s part is certainly not arbitrary or unreasonable. He has provided in the Bible, the most widely circulated book in the world, a clear statement of his purpose. He has sent his witnesses to discuss it with all who will listen. How foolish for any creature to think that he has wisdom greater than that of God!)

I would fully expect the numbers to increase as testing is more widely available and being done on a larger percentage of the population than in earlier months. The numbers that should be watched is strictly how many are be admitted into hospital beds vs how many beds are available. There is no reason to isolate everyone if the hospitals can viably care for the few more extreme cases that occur.

Trump supporters only hear Trump so until he says there's a problem there is no problem,let him hold his campaign rallies because he's beaten the "wuflu" then when his supporters start dropping perhaps the penny will drop too...although I doubt it.
Spain eased their lockdown and now they're seeing a spike too, this thing will stalk us until a vaccine is found.

First they said no masks needed. Then masks. Now masks may not help. Then they said that was incorrect. And the vaccine. It was suppose to take almost a year. Now they are saying WORSE than aids and there will likely be no vaccine.
It's total nonsense at this point. Believe whatever FB, Twitter and the media allows you to believe. Believe anything else and you will be silenced.

Compare the monthly stats with the monthly stats from past years. Everyone seems shocked at the death totals today, but we're not freaked out and panicking in past years due to the death totals of flu, heart disease, and cancer.
Many of the deaths today in those categories are considered covid19 because they happen to test positive for it. It is amazing to see that Covid19 may be a killer, but at the same time it seems to have cured the usually estimated and expected numbers from dying from those other categorical illnesses.
