And it keeps going up. There is still an indication of an upward surge in cases nationwide.
According to Worldometer, here is the 7 day average for the last five days:
Sept. 12: 35,206
Sept. 13: 35,332
Sept. 14: 37,142
Sept. 15: 38,286
Sept. 16: 38,987
There are only two other times we have seen a five day stretch like this in the 7 day average. In both cases, the average went up by more than 30,000 per day in a few weeks time. If that's what we are seeing now then we can expect to be back to the summer peak in about 4 to 6 weeks.
which would put us at early November. What else happens in early november?
the ultimate conspiracy theory is that Trump is trying to spread covid so he can delay or disregard the election.
if we're in a bad outbreak...who is going to be a poll worker? Old people won't vote.
delaying the election will suddenly sound like a viable option. Certainly elected Rs would go along with it.
not saying I believe this, but it would benefit putin, so it would benefit trump.
Trump is certainly doing all he can to spread the virus.
For an anti-conspiracy guy you seem to be walking toward one of the more unlikely conspiracy theories.
We all know Trump totally blew it on the national COVID response (or lack thereof). But since then the response has been controlled locally and continues to be so.
Trump's control of what is going on with COVID is very limited, very crude, and completely lacks any precision. To think that he is and has been acting to effect a spike in COVID just in time for the election beggars belief.
