Have anyone ? Has anyone and yes I have. Anyone that's a carrier can not have symptoms and give it to others, Covid and common cold included

A study has suggested that coronavirus can survive on surfaces for several days. A person touching this surface and who subsequently touches their nose or mouth could potentially become infected. Many gas stations around here have provided vinyl gloves for customers pumping gas. Don't see them so much anymore.

This person is not sick, but it is rcorded as a "case". The medical community knows the economics of this very well. Most of our nws media knows this, but they enjoy sensationalizing the case numbers because it improves ratings and increases advertising revenue for this media source.

By now, most people who follow the news media know that swabs produced in China have a 40% false positive rate.
Hospitals get a $30k bonus? Where did you hear this? I work for a surgeon and I have never heard this.

Here is a fact check on additional funds for COVID-19 patients. As usual, the truth is somewhere in between.

Anyone find it a little odd that 5 days before the election there is a massive spike in cases? Just in time to frighten people away from the polls.
Quite the coincidence....

Kids back at school. Colder weather where people are spending more time indoors. Outbreak at Woodland. Outbreak in Waldo County. General fatigue setting in. Sigh.

I think you've got it backward. People are flocking to the polls in record numbers to vote early.

Kids are back in germ factories. There's a big spike in the Calais area, partially caused by a church group. It's spread into the elementary school, and employees at the hospital are testing positive. Cause and effect, not coincidence.

Kids have been back in school for over a month, and the tourist have gone home because of the cold, we went from 10 or 12 cases a day for months but by some crazy coincidence it spikes up to 50 to a 100 a day 5 days b4 Election Day.....

The polls are not open only absentee ballots and early voting, early voting is very strict, masks and distancing are mandatory in city halls.
Like I said kids have been back in school for over a month.
Something smells like corruption to me, what's to stop jackboot Janet? Our legislators? Gideon has quit her job and is now a full time campaigner.
