CDC director explains why numbers surged in the south

Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has suggested that the recent surge in coronavirus cases across the U.S. South may have been caused by Northerners who traveled to that region on vacation last month.

“If you look at the South, everything happened around June 12 to June 16—it all simultaneously kind of popped,” Redfield said during an interview Tuesday with The Journal of the American Medical Association’s Dr. Howard Bauchner.

“We’re of the view that there was something else that was the driver. Maybe the Memorial Day, not weekend, but the Memorial Day week, where a lot of Northerners decided to go South for vacations.”

So, it wasn’t the opening of businesses, it was the northerners again?

Redfield noted that since the majority of the South had not yet experienced large outbreaks like the Northeast and West, many Southern states and cities reopened businesses early and didn’t require individuals to wear masks or practice social distancing at all times.

Once the contagion entered those areas, the spread could have occurred relatively quickly.

Watch:

 

Also, a big story out of Fox 35 reports that the numbers in Florida are reported inaccurately — dramatically so.

Alex Berenson reports that the Texas numbers are wrong too:

We can’t even report anything about COV. I published a story about a doctor in Texas who reported his successes with a drug treatment plan and Facebook said I violated the community standards by reporting what he said. You can read that story here and tell me what about it merits a violation.

Masks are a “pathogen collector” and the improper removal can be More of an issue. Most places are handing out “surgical masks” which are not designed to prevent aerosolized spread. Their purpose is to prevent splattering of liquids, such as blood in a surgical environment. In an environment of known viral pathogens do those workers rely on surgical masks, or are they equipped with oxygen supplied PPE.

The CDC director is a liar bureaucrat. We see definitely false numbers from places such as Florida. We see guidleines from the CDC that call for exaggerating the death count. He wants to keep the false narrative alive that the disease is spreading.

Could it be something else. Maybe it’s more that Fauci and Redfield also are medical experts who are covering for Government incompetence. Notice, nothing more has been revealed how the CDC were incompetents in testing and THAT is why private labs had to get involved. And what about Fauci. Nothing is being said about shipping virus tests to Wuhan or the money sent to China. It’s the same playbook of any Democrat, “Hey, look over here…”.
