In Montana--which is not exploding with covid by the way, only Comrade Dietz is pushing that false narrative--the hotspots are cooling down. We're six months into the virus. We've had 11,242 cases with 165 deaths. That's a 1.47% mortality rate. One of the first things Ditz' socialists tried to do was scare us with 4% and 5% mortality rates. They never materialized.

We've had a total of just 650 hospitalizations and have only 128 active hospitalizations. So much for explosions. The new cases are young people not social distancing. They don't get sick. The older people like me stay away from them.

What there has been is an explosion in his covid tests. We have 322,000 tests so far in a population of 1,060,000. The more people you test the more positives you are going to find....and we've tested one hell of a lot of people for our population size. We have only 2,443 active cases.

Ditz tries to make the excuse that we are isolated. Most Montanans are not isolated. We live in the bigger towns of the state. While we have wide open spaces between towns, the towns themselves are small in area. Billings for example has a population density of about 2300 people per square mile. Montana is a summertime tourist hotspot and the tourai brought their share of covid to Montana.

But Comrade Dietz will be screaming "the sky is falling" probably until at least 2022.

PS: Australia has experienced a very light regular flu season, a result of social distancing. The same will occur in the U.S. but the Ditz socialists will never admit that the lack of deaths to regular flu offset covid deaths.
I looked at Montana's number and yesterday was their peak in new cases. Mickey wants to call it a false narrative to claim that is
'exploding'. Pretty damn close if you haven't already hit a peak you're working up towards.

Mickey gives no evidence of how testing has increased in the past month. Typical Trump talking point. Show us data that this is true for Montana.

Oh well - Mickey will learn.
Yep, young people in the bars at night. I don't hang out with young people. Those under the age of 50 have a 99.98% covid-19 survival rate. That was published by the CDC yesterday. So number of cases don't mean much. You can continue on with your alarmist bullshit but no one is listening anymore.
