Aside from having to wear a mask i havent seen any signs of a 'deadly plague' like disease at all. Just media propaganda.

71k 'cases' of what? 'Cases' are NOT of COVID-19 nor infection by SARS-CoV-2. There is NO test for COVID-19.

The number of reported cases are being exaggerated by anti-Trump campaigners. The only TRUE indication is the number of deaths DIRECTLY attributed to Coronavirus & nothing else.

😢

Trump said it would be gone by April though

Cases v deaths. It is important journo's.

morgfair Cases, not deaths... Hyperbole, ppl...

Thank you, President Trump, said the virus. US Friday hit its highest daily number of virus cases since the pandemic began, 81,400 new infections in what could be our worst stretch to date, with hospitals strained and death counts beginning to rise.

CDC clearly states 'Masks Do Not Work'

They are spiking around the world. It will be this way until a vaccine/herd immunity occurs.

Birthday parties are my favorite! Let’s get together and blow on a cake that we then make everyone there have to eat. It’s just perfect! Don’t change Florida!

You can't just wish it away.

No different to the flu and it's coming into winter in the US what the hell do you expect if we kept data on influenza the figures would be no different 220000 deaths in the u.s. is the annual United States natural mortality rate it's normal the data is being used for a lie

It’s quite obvious, the only cure for Covid is if Biden wins. The media will stop counting the cases and Covid will miraculously disappear. The Democrats will then pat themselves on the back and say they fixed the problem😂

GOP. It's all about freedom to die and kill others too. Trumpet logic is only a me me me approach. Hollowborne mentally

Most predictable spike in History.

The whole scare tactic is pointless. This deal isn’t going anywhere so it’s time people realize and learn how to live with it.

And with a witness who has proof of joe Biden being in on hunters money gifts from Russia, china& Ukraine proves Biden has lied and used his Vice President office to make his family rich; quid pro quo joe!😂😂😂😂

FakeNews

Criminal negligence. The US’s death rate per capita is 20 times that of Australia. If it had our rate less than 12k would have died rather than over 220K. Such a disgrace for a wealthy nation.

“4 more years of Covid!!!!!” Republicans say

Might make the disengaged middle wake up and figure out that they're getting *actually* stiffed by idiot, contemptuous GOPpers.

'We're rounding the turn -- it's just going to go away.' -- Donald Trump, at four of his rallies last week. On Nov 3rd vote as if your life depends on it -- because it might.

wwhhhhaaaaaa!!! Keep America scared! The election is coming!

TRUMP HAS SURRENDERED TO THE CORONAVIRUS

Not True.

New leadership needed to deal with this pandemic. The trump administration failed us. It’s gonna get worse some estimate 400000 death. Please God I hope not. He knew in January and did next to nothing. No strategy No plan No health care. NO SECOND TERM 😷🇺🇸🌊🇺🇸

Hello from Florida.... We're F**'Ed.

Today's daily dose of fear porn, brought to you by

Colds and flu has all but disappeared

Read this story about NYC as this is what the DEMs have in store for cities all around our great nation if we let them take control: VOTE TRUMP! VOTE GOP!

Hmmm 1) We're testing more people than ever before 2) If you have a cough or any one symptom and you're in a hot spot you're counted as COVID positive. I've had a cough for 20 years so I'm COVID postive according to the CDC.

Please report the death rate. That’s the number that is most important. Everything else is just a distraction.

This is what happens when there is no leadership from the top down. TrumpCovid

VOTE EARLY BUT IF YOU VOTE ON ELECTION DAY DO NOT LET ANYTHING STOP YOU

These are increased cases due to increased testing people. Don't go into a panic for nothing.

Only the media cares, tell me what the death rate is. Thats right its so low, they dont want to talk about it. They would rather us cower in fear, Ive had a cold before, not a big deal.

Not in my state...doing just fine.
