sad isn't it? the thought that it could of been prevented from reaching this level.

I did not solely say prevented, I said prevented from reaching this level.
if you can not see that then I’ll be waisting my time.

Everyone works at home now. I got a salary one week later this time. We are deploying a new readability checker at the moment

I just calculated the number of deaths as a % of the states population for NJ, FL, AZ, GA. below
State Deaths Population Deaths as % of population
NJ 15,715 8,936,570 .00176
FL 5,183 21,993,000 .00023
AZ 2,784 7,170,000 .00038
GA 3.176 10,520,000 .00030
Why follow NJ when it appears that your chances of a covid death there are significantly higher than the other states you mentioned.
The "spikes and "huge increases" are MSM talking points.
Figures came from Johns Hopkins University who is the designated official covid tracker.

Need to multiply those numbers by 100 to get %

The "spikes " are the positive cases.

Yep, you're correct. Got in a hurry.
Last column is % of population that died from virus.

NJ 15,715 8,936,570 .00176 .175%
FL 5,183 21,993,000 .00023 .023%
AZ 2,784 7,170,000 .00038 .038%
GA 3.176 10,520,000 .00030 .03%

Spikes can be the result of several things . Better or less accurate posting and actual increase in positive results. While spikes are going up, deaths and hospitalizations are continuing to go down.

[Boost Creep]

The country is testing 700,000-900,000 people a day now, the numbers are going to go up.
The important thing is the death rate continues to decline.

I think we totally agree, but it's to political or the monetary impact that is making the reporting wrong/false and that is what so many people hate (IMO). I work in Healthcare, like many others here, and if the Government is reimbursing/paying the bill for every "Covid" case... times are hard, and there are going to be A LOT of CASES reported. That is why you have seen several news agencies report the deaths as Covid. If you died in a car accident, and had Covid...it's a covid death. Now watch the hospital/medical facility hold out it's hand and want to get paid for that. Not that everyone is doing that, but there are a lot taking advantage of that to keep their places open.
