I'd like to put a little perspective to the COVID-19 "Surge" as it's being called:
641 COVID-19 patients in PA hospitals today.
675 COVID-19 patients in PA hospitals last week.
728 COVID-19 patients in the hospital two weeks ago.
1,783 COVID-19 patients in PA hospitals a month ago.
2,748 COVID-19 patients in PA hospitals two months ago.
There are 641 beds being used for COVID-19 out of a total of 35,000 hospital beds in the Commonwealth.
The "surge" appears to be related to those who have been found to have the anti-bodies and are finally being tested rather than active cases at this point.
“Don’t worry about Grandma, dying alone in the nursing home. She has dementia and is scared, but she surely understands. It’s for the greater good.”
“Don’t worry about losing your business, the dream business that you opened with a second mortgage on your house... oh, and don’t worry about losing your house. It’s for the greater good.”
“Don’t worry about your child’s depression because she can’t figure out how to navigate the online classes and she misses her best friend. It’s all for the greater good.”
“Don’t worry about your Aunt who can’t get treatment for her cancer. Her sacrifice is saving lives...just not hers. It’s for the greater good.”
“Make sure you call CPS on your neighbor for letting her kids go outside to play! Don’t worry when the stranger takes her kids while they cry out for their momma. It’s all for the greater good.”
“Don’t worry about the looters and people burning down your town. They’re peaceful. It’s all for the greater good.”

HOW DID THEY CONVINCE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO:
▪️social distance
▪️mask up
▪️have no funerals
▪️forcibly homeschool while still taxing us for public education
▪️stay in our homes
▪️stop going to church
▪️forfeit incomes and personal businesses
▪️turn on our friends and neighbors with a phone number
▪️hug our grandparents through plastic
▪️thoroughly have us on the verge of civil war with each other.
ALL TO TURN AROUND AND TELL US THAT MOST OF IT IS NIXED AND COMPLETELY NEGATED, IF WE WANT TO:
▪️protest
▪️riot
▪️kill even more people
▪️loot businesses (many already on the brink of bankruptcy)
▪️deface national monuments
▪️destroy our cities
▪️defund & disband our police
▪️set everything on fire
...and all the while, we're allegedly at tremendous risk of an oh-so-deadly virus that can be diagnosed without official testing, or with so-called testing being counted & reported dishonestly, and reported on death certificates even if we die by falling off a cliff...
...and even though it's super "dangerous", the things that actually keep us healthy, like:
▪️health food stores
▪️farmers markets
▪️garden nurseries/seeds
▪️gyms
▪️health facilities
▪️chiropractic centers
▪️naturopathic health centers
▪️outdoor activities and parks
The surge will get worse until mid to late October. The US will be shut down at that point. It will stay in some sort of shut down until after election day. Depending on who wins, we will remain housebound, or it will miraculously disappear.
