UPDATE: coronavirus cases in US have grown 42.8% in one week!

➡️ We have squandered 2 entire months & 2 trillion dollars (likely higher)... all to be worse than before.

Florida has 1:40 deaths to infections, but now want us to believe with 10,000 infections a day it's 1:400 deaths to infections. Theyre not hiding Covid deaths, are they?

Worrisome mutation: “At least four lab experiments suggest that the mutation makes the virus more infectious. Another study from Los Alamos National Lab finds that patients with the G variant actually have more virus in their bodies, i.e. more likely to spread it to others. pic.twitter.com/O6yOJHsUiI
