Check the source. This guy is an prominent anti-vaxxer.Hmmmm.
This is an interesting read. I'll reserve judgement as yet.
Edit: you already did.

And here's the rebuttal:
J.B. Handley’s unthinking person’s guide to the COVID-19 pandemic
The fact that Handley is an autism antivaxxer doesn't do much for his credibility.
Anyway, we'll know in a few weeks. Death rates are a trailing indicator of infection rates. If death rates go back up, we'll know that he's full of shit. If they don't, then maybe some of what he says has merit.
It’s not always the data, it’s how data is used, what pieces of data is left out and what conclusions one draws from said data.he does a good job of listing all of his sources from studies.
it is a wait and see now
I didn’t read the article, but I suspect death rates won’t rise as dramatically for a few non-conspiracy/non agenda reasons. 1. State and local government “should” be better prepared and equipped to take care of those most at risk (assisted living facilities). Something like 50% of deaths in NC (and someone mentioned other states were similar) occurred in assisted living facilities. Also, I suspect many of these facilities have already been hit hard. Maybe I’m being naive, but I would hope we are better prepared now. 2. at least some of the data I saw is saying in many states the uptick in infected is occurring in younger people (going to bars/restaurants, protests, etc..) who are less at risk of dying from this. Thus a higher infection rate won’t have as high of a death rate. Death rate by age group data already shows that. I’m assuming that the data about infections on younger people is valid and pervasive, and it may not be. 3. Medical professionals are better prepared now and there are some treatment options like Remdesivir to help minimize mortality rates.Death rates are a trailing indicator of infection rates.

I could be way off base here, but those seem like reasons why (hopefully) the death rate won’t spike.
But are NYs assisted living numbers worse than other states? When accounting for population density?He mentions that about the assisted living places, just don’t do what NY Gov did.
Imo I believe the second wave is due more to the protests then anything. covid has slowed significantly in other parts of the developed world with similar or less populations from what I have seen so far even though i have not been keeping a close eye on itComing back around to this. There were definitely some weak minded, but probably not the ones you were referring to.
Confirmed coronavirus cases are rising in 40 of 50 states :: WRAL.com
Bars/restaurants/beaches opening and an overall sense of out of sight out of mind happened about the same time.Imo I believe the second wave is due more to the protests then anything. covid has slowed significantly in other parts of the developed world with similar or less populations from what I have seen so far even though i have not been keeping a close eye on it

in statistics, this is called simpson's paradox: Simpson's paradox - Wikipedia
The answer is bars. It’s not that difficult to figure out. They are a germ factory with drunk ass hosts during normal times.
Study shows that water indeed wetThe idea that this has to be put in an article and not just be the most obvious thing in the world is just stunning to me.
Is water indeed wet? Or can water make other things wet, but is not wet on it’s own? Always wondered that.Study shows that water indeed wet
