SURGEON GEN just said, "This will be the HARDEST/SADDEST WK of most American LIVES"

Hello Dutch Uncle,

As the current briefing by Dr. Birx states, this peak is dependent upon everyone maintaining the recommended procedures. If everyone goes to political rallies and BBQ parties, then, yes, it will be the first peak.

I don't think I've done a good job of explaining the three peaks I was talking about.

Not flare ups after the death rate has peaked.

The three normal peaks which we can expect.

1st peak: The number of active cases.
2nd peak: The number of current hospitalizations.
3rd peak: The daily death rate.

It happens this way because it takes the disease some time to kill somebody. First they contract covid-19. Some 5.5 days later, they feel symptoms. Maybe they try to tough it out for a few days. They get a test. If it gets worse they go to the hospital. More days go by. If it continues to get worse then they die. It doesn't all happen on the same day. That's why there is a time delay between the three peaks.

If there is a resurgence of the disease in the fall, we will see those three peaks repeat during that second round.

The three peaks happen for each outbreak and each locality.

Different localities will see their three peaks occur at different times. It's not like the whole nation will see one big peak together on the same day.

The three peaks will happen in NYC before they will happen in New Orleans.

The timing is driven by the course of the spread, and the severity is driven by when stay-at-home orders were issued.

Trump said it. Birx said it. Now the Surgeon General. What the hell is going to happen this week? Notice he did not say COULD be.

Oh well, as long as he didn't say ALL Americans lives, everything is good!

[FONT=&][FONT=&]U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams warned Sunday amid the coronavirus pandemic that the week ahead [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]would [FONT=&][FONT=&][FONT=&]be the “hardest and the saddest” of “most Americans’ lives.”

“This is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans’ lives,” Adams said on “Fox News Sunday."

“This is going to be our Pearl Harbor moment and our 9/11 moment only it’s not going to be localized, it’s going to be happening all over the country,” Adams said.
He added, however, that there "is a light at the end of the tunnel if everyone does their part for the next 30 days.”

“There is hope but we’ve also got to all do our part.”

Host Chris Wallace also pressed Adams on President Trump’s repeated promotion of the antimalarial drug hydrochloroquine as a coronavirus treatment. The drug has not been approved for that use and experts have warned a run on supplies could lead to a shortage for those who need it for its FDA-approved uses.

“Here’s what we’ve advised the president: When people are in a tragic situation, we want them to be able to have a conversation with their healthcare provider about everything they can do to save their lives,” Adams responded. “We feel a little bit better regarding its safety than we do about a completely novel drug.”...
