Good News: World On Brink Of 4th COVID Wave

Is this believable? The problem with all the hyperventilating news is “can we believe it?” The news has always been about hyping stuff up, right? For amplifying a story to more Doom than it deserves, right? So, how much of this is about the leftist news’ need to proclaim Doom? Which people are tired of and often discount. How much is them wanting to continue the Big Government control of citizens by proclaiming Doom? And how much might be real, but, people tune out?

World on brink of fourth wave of coronavirus

A year after the frightening beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the world stands on the brink of a fourth wave of infection as nations race to vaccinate their populations and stave off a new surge in hospitalizations and deaths.

Total reported cases rose across the globe in the last week of February after six weeks of decline, driven in part by new, more virulent variants that transmit between people at startlingly higher rates than the initial strains out of Wuhan, China, and northern Italy.

“This is disappointing, but not surprising,” World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters last week. “This is a global crisis that requires a consistent and coordinated global response.”

The United States recorded about 66,000 new cases a day over the last week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), down 73 percent from the apex reached in early January and similar to levels of transmission from October. But the precipitous decline of late January and early February has plateaued in recent days, raising fears that a new wave is just around the corner.

I thought China Joe was going to end this? No?

Some models show an increase in cases just around the corner. One model maintained by the PolicyLab at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia shows reproduction rates — the measure of how many people are infected by someone who has the virus — rising in three quarters of the counties surveyed. States in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest showed higher transmission rates last week.

Several states have loosened restrictions on businesses and gatherings imposed over the summer, even though infections continue at higher levels today than when those mandates were initially put in place.

And by linking the two it appears that the Credentialed Media is trying to perpetuate everlasting authoritarian government. Perpetual lockdown. They provide zero statistics or facts that show the two are correlated in the least.

Senate COVID relief bill paves way for student debt forgiveness through executive action

The Senate version of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, which cleared the chamber Saturday, was amended to remove taxes on forgiven student loan debt through 2025, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Why it matters: The provision, which was included by Democrats this week, paves the way for President Biden to forgive student debt through executive action — one of his campaign promises — without burdening thousands of Americans with a new tax.

So, one more reason the COVID bill is mostly not about COVID relief.
