It's a good thing smonkey has continued to monger this fear because the media dogs have completely dropped it and focused their leftist schlitZ attention on the peaceful expression of frustration going on all over the country.

Smonk,
Forgot some words,
Within 5 days of your friend being admitted the total confirmed hospitalizations almost doubled, while the currently hospitalized really didn't change that much, but I've explained how that happens. Your friend, we'll call him John, John gets admitted but the same day Bill who was already in the hospital gets released, currently hospitalized doesn't change but confirmed hospitalizations does. These reports are "real time" so there might be a couple days delay in numbers changing.
Also I almost forgot, put your mask on an get back in the closet.

Within 5 days of your friend being admitted the total confirmed hospitalizations almost doubled, ever think for a second that one of those was him. I know when I had my COVID test it took 2 days for the results to come back (negative). That was part of the issue with testing, labs were overburdened and it was taking some time to get the results back. There's no conspiracy to hide hospitalizations, no one, no governmental agency has anything to gain from doing that.

Backwoods at least you got the she part right for a change.
What you are is a liar. Not only are you a lair but your an illiterate lair.
I would like for you to show me just where it is that I said every Tyson employee is intentionally spreading the covid 19. Nothing could be further from the truth! In fact I feel really bad for them. Could you imagine the fear they live in daily?
Backwoods I guess the news and observer are conspiracy theorist along with WRAL . Right?
Hospitalizations and case counts go together boy.
Did I write the article Boy?
I would like for you boy to show me where the Hospitalizations went up.
He was hospitalized May 10th.

NC limits information on meatpacking plants' COVID-19 outbreaks as case numbers grow
But neither Burke nor Wilkes counties provided information on the number of employees at the plants in their county. Late Thursday afternoon, the Wilkes County health director said her agency wouldn't provide details on the number of cases reported at an individual facility and pointed a reporter to the Tyson Foods website. https://www.wral.com/corona.../19118349/
Smonk,
One more thing, exactly what about COVID 19 do you need to know that you aren't being told?
The same thing all the news organizations are asking
What are they hiding and why?

I think that Smonk is showing that she is not a Social Justice Warrior as she tries to proclaim.She is name calling especially those employees of Tyson Foods.Why is she trying to say each and every Tyson employee is intentionally spreading the covid 19.Is she trying to provoke an uprising against Tyson Foods?

Smonk,
You kept saying that Wilkes Health Department never reported a particular persons hospitalization because the number of patients hospitalized never went up, but the number of confirmed hospitalizations did, I tried to show you how that was your mistake but you still claim the authorities are not telling the whole truth.
As for your story, it only proves that NC DHHS and the Wilkes Health Dept. has rules they have to follow and some companies aren't required to report sick workers to them which is no fault of the NC DHHS and Wilkes Health Dept.. But apparently Tyson in Wilkesboro did co-operate they allowed Wilkes Health Dept. on their property to test workers, they hired a health care company to test the remainder of the workers and reported the number and names of those that tested positive to the Wilkes Health Dept. so contact tracing could be done.
Again put your mask on and go hide in the closet.

O.K. one more time backwoods, I am a woman!
Smonk is one of those conspiracy theorist hiding out somewhere.
Really try reading backwoods
Here you go Boy, Don't take my word for it.
NC limits information on meatpacking plants' COVID-19 outbreaks as case numbers grow"The virus gets into a meat plant and that can turn disastrous," Gralinski said. "The cold air is going to be very conducive to keeping the virus viable for longer, so it's just kind of a bad situation - and unfortunately if we look at the demographics of who tends to be employed in these facilities, they might not have the best access to health care."
Workers then go home and into their communities, giving the virus a firm foothold. A survey by journalists from seven newsrooms across the state showed local health departments are tracking COVID-19 outbreaks at meat processing facilities and reporting that information to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services.
But many aren't telling the public where those outbreaks occur - and neither is the state.
In North Carolina, some industries - notably nursing homes - must provide DHHS with details about a COVID-19 outbreak. But in most other industries, including meat processing, no such requirement exists.
In a public briefing, Cohen said the state very much wants to know about infections at meat-processing facilities so it can help contain the virus. But there's no lever she can pull to force them to cooperate.
"These industries are not ones that are required to report to our local health department or the state," Cohen said. However, it is not a required reporting. So we do not have a systematic way of knowing about all of the pieces of this pie."
The Catawba County Health Department identified eight cases at a plant operated by Case Farms in Burke County and seven cases at the Tyson plant in Wilkes County, which has seen a case count in the hundreds before the company shut it down. In each of those cases, the employees worked at the plants in neighboring counties but lived in Catawba County.
But neither Burke nor Wilkes counties provided information on the number of employees at the plants in their county.
Wilkes County's health department did not respond to a reporter's inquiry.

Are we to feel sorry for all the rioters who will now be infected with Covid-19 because they disobeyed social distancing rules...... especially the ones who were bused in?
Tilly, I didn't realize that this was the topic! Did I say we were to feel sorry for the rioters?
NOPE!
They are taking a big risk! I see most are at least wearing their masks. Unlike your beloved Donald!

Smonk,

We have all been informed that the coronavirus disproportionately affects African Americans, but this just doesn't help their cause.

All lot ifs in Shaman's report, but we are taking precautions and the rates of infections have decreased, just look at powerballs posts if you don't believe me, oh wait that's right you don't believe the numbers, you think NC DHHS and the Wilkes Health Dept. are hiding the facts.

Boy, you sure are ill informed!
In North Carolina, workers and community advocates in the Tar Heel area started to raise the alarm in April, as local news outlets reported a string of infections linked to the Smithfield plant.
In neighboring Robeson County, 59 residents who work at the Tar Heel facility have become infected, out of a total of 669 cases in the community, according to Melissa Packer, the county's assistant health director.
But like the rest of the public, Ms. Packer does not know the full extent of the outbreak at the plant.
In conversations with state officials this month, Ms. Packer said, a number of county health directors requested that plant-specific numbers stay private. One of the reasons, she said, was that the local officials wanted to avoid antagonizing the meatpackers while they worked alongside them to curtail the outbreaks. A spokeswoman for North Carolina's health department, Amy Ellis, declined to reveal plant-specific data. She said the state has recorded a total of 1,952 cases across meat plants in 17 counties.
"When a plant hits several hundred cases, they get more tight-lipped, and that makes it difficult for workers to protect themselves and their families,'' said Mr. Reeder, president of the United Food & Commercial Workers union local 293. The Smithfield Foods plant in Tar Heel, N.C., is one of the world's largest pork processing facilities, employing about 4,500 people and slaughtering roughly 30,000 pigs a day at its peak.
And like more than 100 other meat plants across the United States, the facility has seen a substantial number of coronavirus cases. But the exact number of workers in Tar Heel who have tested positive is anyone's guess.
Smithfield would not provide any data when asked about the number of illnesses at the plant. Neither would state or local health officials. YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IS LETHAL BOY, GROW UP AND TRY THINKING OF SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF!
Results from coronavirus antibody tests have started to trickle in, and they bolster the consensus among disease experts that the virus is significantly more lethal than seasonal flu and has seeded the most disruptive pandemic in the past century. Do the math!" said Jeffrey Shaman, a Columbia University epidemiologist who has been studying the coronavirus since early in the outbreak.
Shaman and his colleagues have developed a model of the coronavirus spread that estimates that only 1 in 12 infections in the United States have been documented in official counts. That leads to an infection fatality rate of 0.6 percent, he said - a figure that roughly matches what has been seen in New York City.
At that rate, the United States could potentially experience 1 million deaths if half the population became infected and no efforts were made to limit the contagion through social distancing, a vaccine or proven therapeutics, Shaman said. That's 20 times worse than a bad flu season," he said Monday.
COVID-19 may kill about 1.3 percent of symptomatic patients, an infection fatality rate that is 13 times higher than the flu, according to a peer-reviewed study slated for publication in Health Affairs. Researchers analyzed 40,835 confirmed cases and 1,620 deaths across 116 counties using GitHub data from Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University and The New York Times through April 20. Based on mathematical modeling, researchers estimate the national infection fatality rate for symptomatic COVID-19 patients is 1.3 percent, with county-specific rates ranging from 0.5 percent to 3.6 percent. For reference, the fatality rate for seasonal flu is about 0.1 percent.

Smonk,
Thats right, the NC Department of Health and Human Services and the Wilkes County Health Department are all in on this giant conspiracy to not tell the truth of how many are sick from COVID.
This is still only slightly more lethal than the common flu, you know the common flu where there is a vaccine and it still kills between 15 and 60 thousand people every year. So put your mask on and go hide in the closet.
