I see America had its worst ever day of new cases 01/07/2020
Despite the resurgence in Victoria and to a lesser extent NSW - we've been pretty lucky.
Even the UK, despite it previously bad figures, seems to be on a better path now.

Students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama are reportedly throwing “COVID parties” with their friends and gambling on who will get sick first, according to local officials.
City Council member Sonya McKinstry testified on Wednesday that a series of previously reported parties were all part of a morbid game that included intentionally inviting COVID-positive students in an attempt to intentionally contract the deadly virus.
“They put money in a pot and they try to get COVID. Whoever gets COVID first gets the pot. It makes no sense,” she said.
City council members did not mention the University of Alabama by name, but the school is the largest college in the city and the flagship school of the state’s university system.
Tuscaloosa City Fire Chief Randy Smith briefed the council on these parties earlier this week, saying that authorities thought students’ intentional gambling on virus transmission “was kind of a rumor at first,” but added, “We did some additional research …. not only did the doctor’s offices help confirm it but the state confirmed they also had the same information.”
Despite the news, McKinstry insists the city is taking the public health threat of coronavirus seriously.
“We’re trying to break up any parties that we know of,” she told ABC News.
There have been at least 37,536 recorded coronavirus infections and 926 fatalities in Alabama.
What do you think about this?
That hiding behind a mask is akin to burying your head in the sand. That herd immunity is better than hiding from it. That you have as much chance of getting it as a cold or flu and if you are in fair health to begin with your symptoms will be the same. That the sooner we are allowed to get our lives back the sooner this will go away.
It's going to go through 80+% of the population no matter what we do. All the precautions being taken were originally designed to simply not overwhelm the hospitals.
So the real question is should 1000 people die over the next 6 months or the same 1000 people die over the next two years while ruining the global economy?

I get confused by the messaging also. "Flatten the Curve" is everywhere. It was the official message. It was never "prevent total infections" or "Less people will die".
But that has apparently changed? So the original intent was a lie? And why have I not heard any discussion of this in the media? Why haven't I heard this question asked?
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

Because the MSM wants the populace scared. They want you to think that death is hiding behind every corner. They want you to think that if you don't wear a mask that you will die a horrible death as well as killing grandma and grandpa too. They want all this for one reason and one reason alone, to hurt Trump's reelection. They don't want people back at work and the economy recovering. They don't want people living their lives. That's why the narrative is always changing. That's why you can't contract Kung Flu at a riot peaceful protest, but if you dare venture to a bar or restaurant or party or a republican election really, then there is 1000% chance you will get it and kill everyone around you that you love and care about.
That's what I've been trying to say from the beginning.
...but I don't talk so eloquently.
There's no MSM plot in Australia
