What is clear about the China coronavirus today is that we have no idea how many people currently have it and no idea of who really died from it.
In Rhode Island which is seeing testing going up, 70% of recent tests are retests – this may not indicate an increase in cases but only in increase in tests. Students, individuals who will certainly never die from the China Coronavirus, are tested as schools are back in session. These individuals are likely retests and not related to an increase in incidents:
First we look at testing. RI breaks out new tests and repeat tests. Note testing is up huge since Spring, but 75% of the tests are now retests. We can see the jump in retests coinciding with colleges and schools starting up. Presumably most of these retests are mandated screening pic.twitter.com/11x0u0yUfH
But it’s perhaps impossible to really know the number of new cases with the coronavirus today because the CDC counts both individuals who currently are found with the virus, as well as individuals who are identified today who have had the coronavirus in the past, as individuals classified as new coronavirus cases:
We know that only 6% of the deaths recorded as China coronavirus deaths are solely related to the coronavirus only. The remaining deaths recorded as coronavirus deaths are related to individuals who on average had 2 to 3 comorbidities along with the coronavirus:
Now there is an effort by the Democrats to push for more shutdowns and mask wearing. They claim their position is based on science but like virtually everything the Democrats claim, this is not true nor is it based on science. The CDC stated that there is no evidence masks prevent an individual from contracting the China coronavirus:
Clearly it would be smarter to protect the high risk individuals – the elderly and those with multiple comorbidities – and let the rest of the population move on with their lives.
President Trump on Tuesday evening fired Director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Chris Krebs.
A few days ago CISA director Chris Krebs rebuked President Trump’s claims that votes were deleted and changed by voting machines and tabulation software.
“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.” the DHS cybersecurity agency said in one of the most ridiculous claims yet.
“There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in a statement released last Thursday.
“While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too,” the members of Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council Executive Committee said. “When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.”
President Trump Tuesday night promptly fired Chris Krebs!
…votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more. Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
President Trump followed up with a third tweet addressing the 2020 election.
“The only thing secure about our 2020 Election was that it was virtually impenetrable by foreign powers. On that, the Trump Administration takes great credit. Unfortunately, the Radical Left Democrats, Dominion, and others, were perhaps more successful!” Trump said.

Now that some conservatives are jumping off Twitter and Facebook due to censorship and bias in favor of Parler, experts are weighing in on whether or not the “free speech network” could rise to become an actual competitor of the two mega-tech platforms. The big question for Parler is whether or not it can rise […]
President Trump was up by nearly 700,000 votes on election night in Pennsylvania when all of a sudden vote counting came to a halt.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia stopped counting ballots on election night.
This is when crooked officials in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh got to work stealing the election for Joe Biden.
Millions of ballots appeared within a few days and hundreds of thousands of ballots were counted for Joe Biden as officials blocked GOP poll observers from having access to the vote counting centers.
GOP poll observers and lawyers for President Trump’s campaign were blocked from observing the process despite a court order from an appellate judge.
According to the court order, GOP observers must be allowed within 6 feet of the ballot counting.
Observers were forced to stand 30 to 100 feet away from the ballot counting and resorted to using binoculars.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday said all the state law requires is observers be allowed “‘in the room’ where ballots are counted. The law does not set a minimum distance between them and the counting tables…The legislature didn’t provide one, and the court can’t, either.”

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he fired Department of Homeland Security’s Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Chris Krebs in a tweet, after Krebs said the 2020 election was the most secure in the nation’s history.
Trump tweeted:
The recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud – including dead people voting, Poll Watchers not allowed into polling locations, “glitches” in the voting machines which changed votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more. Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Krebs’ Twitter bio, even after Trump’s tweet at 7:07 p.m. ET, still read: “Director @CISAgov. http://CISA.gov/RumorControl. American voters decide American elections. Likes, retweets, follows ≠ endorsements.”
Krebs’ last tweet came earlier Tuesday, again disputing allegations of any election system manipulation.
Before that, Krebs had issued a number of tweets disputing any suggestions that the presidential election had been compromised in any way.
CISA released a statement on November 12 that said, “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result.”
“There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” it said, adding:
While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections. We can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.
The tweets and statement came as the Trump campaign has been disputing election results in several states they say will change the outcome of the election.

The canvassing board of a Michigan county voted against certifying the results of the election because of two Republican members, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) lashed out with the expected insult.
The votes from Republicans on the Wayne County Board of Canvassers on Tuesday deadlocked the motion at 2-2.
"Based on what I saw and went through in poll books in this canvass, I believe that we do not have complete and accurate information in those poll books," said Chairwoman Monica Palmer, a Republican.
Board Vice Chairman Jonathan Kinloch, a Democrat, called the Republicans "reckless and irresponsible" over the vote.
Tlaib, a vocal opponent of President Donald Trump, blasted the Republicans and called them racist.
"The Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers put politics above their duty to our residents," she tweeted.
It’s plain and simple, folks. The Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers put politics above the… https://t.co/C2TQPfdL0Q
"Suggesting that all of Wayne County can be certified, EXCEPT for Detroit, is horrifying racist and a subversion of our democracy," she added.
Michigan Republican Party Chairman Laura Cox released a statement praising the Trump administration for helping identify irregularities that led to the vote against certification.
"The people of Michigan deserve to know what happened in Wayne County on Election Day and the days following. I am proud that, due to the efforts of the Michigan Republican Party, the Republican National Committee and the Trump Campaign, enough evidence of irregularities and potential voter fraud was uncovered resulting in the Wayne County Board of Canvassers refusing to certify their election results. This action will allow more time for us to get to the bottom of these deeply troubling irregularities. The people of Michigan deserve fair, open and transparent elections, and we will continue to fight for just that."
The county had until Tuesday to certify the election results, which will now go to the office of the secretary of state. That office has 10 days to certify the results.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said that the results would be certified over the vote of the county canvassers board at the state level.
"Should the current decision of the Board of Wayne County Canvassers hold through the adjournment of today’s meeting, the Board of State Canvassers will be responsible for certifying the Wayne County election," said Benson in a statement on Twitter.
"In similar circumstances in the past, state canvassers have appointed the Bureau of Elections to carry out the processes of canvassing the vote and voter totals. The Bureau stands ready to fulfill this duty and we expect this will address clerical errors and improve the quality of the canvass overall," she added.
Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also criticized the Republicans on the canvassers board.
"Today’s action is a blatant attempt to undermine the will of the voters. The process, however, will move forward. Under Michigan law, the Board of State of Canvassers will now finish the job and I have every expectation they will certify the results when the job is done," she said in part.
