Prime minister warns UK "not out of the woods yet" as England gets ready to reopen barsIn this screen grab, Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks during a media briefing in Downing Street, London on July 3. PA Video/PA Images/Getty Images

He said that the spike in the English city of Leicester, where some coronavirus restrictions have been reimposed, showed that"we are not out of the woods yet. The virus is still with us." Johnson said there was"no doubt" that the lockdown saved"many hundreds of thousands" of lives, but had a"devastating impact" on the economy.

Johnson also said that"local lockdowns will be a feature of our lives for some time to come." He explained that if the virus continues to spread in an area, authorities will first target specific locations and close premises, restrict access, and trace contacts of anyone who tested positive for coronavirus.

Wow 80% seriously tested negative?!

This is strong leadership in a COVID outbreak. Doesn't mention all free food and baby supplies that will be delivered by the Australian State of Victoria. Trump De Dump chooses to mislead, and proactively underplay and mismanage the virus response

That’s how testing works. Test more people, get more positive results. How many of these positive tests are really just a cold?

Good. Herd immunity is working.

More than 80% tested negative for the coronavirus Thursday in South Carolina. It’s all how the Media sells it!!!

Can we call this as hypocrisy

Fakedemic

Hooray for heard immunity!

got fear porn?

Oughta give them hydroxychloroquine for treatment then, right?

So the 15 to 25 million protesting since George Floyd has nothing to do with it?

AntiTrumpReport Same in Miami

Who cares

Mark everyone with an out of state tag so when they go home it's straight to quarantine😵😵

Myrtle Beach!!!

***shocked***

Democrats again

And none are sick. None going to Hospitals. All had no idea that they had it, because they felt fine

Follow EthicalSkeptic for RealTalk

Herd immunity.

I don't know how they can say that... the people I know who were tested Monday still don't have their test results. If the State knows results in 24 hours, why aren't they informing the people?

well wouldn't cnn now recommend hxq+zith+zinc for their treatment

What about Maxwell?

Are y’all putting out another Fake Story? Come On Man!

How many rioters looters and protesters were there 2 weeks ago? Just asking for a friend

Dems and lib media ridiculed HCQ even though they knew it was effective against the China Virus. Democrats have blood on their hands.

Bs

So when is this 'herd immunity' supposed to occur?

Herd immunity idiots

Natural selection at work.

I russia color don't one black

Deaths are way down. Used to be 3-4 times higher!!!!

I feel CNN are very happy about this situation, they are thinking about November elections . They don’t want the situation to get better at all . This a big problem on USA because media trying to use this pandemic for political agenda.

Just stopped in to see what a failing biased fake news organization looks like.Looks a lot like CHOP

Were there 10 tests? This is extremely hard to believe. Only 2.4% have tested positive in my county in NY including when they were only testing the slickest people. It is less than 0.5% daily now. 20% sound really fishy.

It’s official. USA = third world country.

Sabula🤸💃🕴️🕺👯

Maybe they should ignore CNN and take the drug anyway. I wish CNN would stop fighting Trump every step of the way and let science work.

AJ.. get a f'n clue. Use a brain cell. I know it'll be tough for you to do that, but Trump isn't the governor that kept things open there.

No that's how the Republicans are in Washington changed their tune when covid-19 started hitting the red States

That means nothing If you don’t know the number tested. It could’ve been 20 people / 4 positive

Nobody cares....mortality is dropping.

Tests take 3-7+ days in vast majority of cases. People tested yesterday, we will know in another 3-7+ days. 20% is ridiculously high no matter 😷

You people are ridiculous. Testing was slow you complained, testing is picking ip now you complain. Not every positive test is a serious case. There is no need to test asymptomatic people. People that are really sick will be. 787 deaths out of 42k cases in SC is under 2%!

I called it last week. McMaster is holding our for the 4th of July weekend because of tourism and then we'll get some mandates. It's like the mayor in Jaws. Everything is fine people...NOT!

We should have had A LOT more tests by now.

Please follow this live broadcast. Welcome.

jeffreyatucker It doesn’t matter! If you monitored the seasonal flu through the same lens you would see the same thing. Covid is politically expedient for you so you alarmists are ratcheting up your propaganda… btw, where are the daily death counts? Oh, wait, no one is dying from this.

These folks are killing me...no, no I’m serious they are killing me!!

It's a red state, but we also have tons of tourists flocking in acting like it's a regular summer vacation. Our Gov is doing nothing to help. Sucks for those of us who've been trying to do the right thing. In 2 weeks, after July 4th. It will be really bad.

jeffreyatucker Now do antibodies 😉

What about Friday? Or Wednesday?

Out of control COVID train. Where is Fake Hair Trump? Why is he not helping the country? All he thinks about his overblown ego. The COVID is a runaway train that will kill people ar an alarming rate. Our leader does not care.

So 80% tested negative and what percent is hospitalized with it....stop trying to scare people...we already know Trump was right on HCQ and you enemyofamerica caused how many deaths...

I don't believe it liberal's B.S.

Mission accomplished - America will be close to being a third world country by election day. Trump calling this a victory.

I'm going to say this and it can be fact checked Gov. McMaster wouldn't wait on a 14day decline in the trajectory of covid19 and rushed to open with accelerate SC and now we have people dying at a higher rate it's only going to get worse

This is not a big deal.

How many are A symptomatic. That’s the number I want to see

No spikes from BLM rioting though 👌

So... How close are the bottom tested numbers getting towards achieving the number required for herd Immunity?

80% didn’t

what we're actually sick%

Plus when they see you wearing a face mask, they look like you’re not from this world. Hey People, stay safe!!!!!

If they paid enough attention to hygiene, they would be much better off now.

I was traveling throughout Ohio today and I can tell people don’t believe in COVID-19. No facemask, a nonsense social distancing

Sounds like more fake news

More lies FakeNews CoronavirusHoax

My success in binary trading is as a result of the great experience of Gordy_robertfx. I followed his instructions and i invested, i got my payout within 24hours of my trade

Not surprised. COVID-19 is a hoax to them since they catch it🤦🏾‍♂️

20% of what number?

I say that because I just heard on Television 20% of the people tested in the state the person was speaking about tested positive and they had NO SYMPTOMS

Funny how that as we get closer to Election Day, the so called “surge” has moved from the Blue states to the Red states. Scamdemic?

I think its time to re evaluate the efficiency of this test

Just stay inside for 2 1/2 months.

Testing positive does not mean being sick. Get over your giddy selves.

I'm so pissed.. What the hell having fireworks when 1,000 are dying. Poor Suzie Q. Working doubles and no days off for weeks. What's wrong with this picture.

covid surge is due to them fiddling w/ the numbers, counting 'probable' cases to keep you in fear. You have to look up the numbers yourself through your state's health dept vs the hospitals, etc. cnnfakenews

They also make a fake covid 19 test.

Cnn is fake news

WINNING! So bigly, no one ever thought we could win this much. Yuge!!

Sooooooo 80% tested negative?

Another tragic milestone in this country.

With a 50% false positive rate...that works out to negative 30% positive cases.

Hello. Look at this shocking conversation.

No, do you mean Trump is wrong about this being a hoax. This doesn't look like it's under control as the 'Failure and Chief' stated yesterday. This administration continues to prove how incompetent they are. Time for a major change.

booodonaldtrump

LOTS OF PROTESTERS came from SOUTH CAROLINA. EVEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA about 2 weeks ago there were 6 protesters had the virus and then they wanted all protesters to be tested again . SO THE so call experts who said protesters didn't help to spread and make cases go up are wrong.

QUARANTINE WITH ME GUYS! Check out my latest shoe video featuring ASOS on my YouTube Channel LINKED BELOW, THANKS! AND PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL. PRETTY PLEASE 🙏 Help me get to 500 subs this month. THANKS!. Here's the LINK ↓

More testing, more cases, makes sense. But the death rate... down.

Lmao these numbers are inflated to keep the economy shutdown to hurt Trump and if Biden wins poof it will disappear

South Corolina

Myrtle Beach today. This nation is doomed by stupidity.

The more testing the more cases.

So how many died?

👌

Yawn!

Thanks a lot henrymcmaster

Anyone who believes anything CNN 'reports' is a fool.

Deaths are declining and Hydroxychloroquin works.

MrDJP86 🤢

Normal the people respect nothing, they must die.

Good news! herd immunity is coming now that we have proven therapeutics and a declining death rate, despite the efforts by murderous Democrats like Cuomo to increase it by seeding nursing homes, consider this pandemic done and now it's time to get on with our lives.

Fast approaching to a herd immunity, well done

Hydroxychloroquine

Welcome to the ongoing message broadcasted live

less testing less positive cases. problem solved realDonaldTrump

WITH antibody testing

Omfg mmmjiminssi 😳 keep your ass in the house with Baby Mochi fo-ev-ahhhhh

Wow, 4.8% in my state and we are still working to keep it dropping. Very scary for South Carolina and all of us

and what percentage of those had no symptoms?

Leningrad Lindsey

Yay! Herd immunity, here we come! 🥳🇺🇸🎉

So easily avoidable. This is criminal

What’s the mortality rate again? Like 0.4%?

Symptoms prompt you to get tested

It's just ironic. All these people out protesting and saying Black Lives Matter ignoring social distancing guidance. Protesters get sick and end up killing their parents. That's how much black lives matter I guess..👏👏👏

Lindsey Graham, shortly people in your state are going to realize the horse shit you’ve been peddling.

Holy fuck
