Number of Projected Covid-19 Deaths in Tennessee Cut by 88%! Senator Roberts Implies Mandatory Stay-At-Home Order Unnecessary
In a Tennessee Star Report radio interview with Michael Patrick Leahy, State Senator Kerry Roberts shared his observations regarding the effects of the mandatory stay-at-home order, signed by Governor Lee last week. Roberts reports that while some large retailers, such as Walmart, benefit from the order, many small businesses were forced to close. He questions whether the government should decide which businesses can survive and which cannot. In light of the now drastically lower projections for the actual impact of the Wuhan-virus on Tennessee, he suggests that Lee’s initial approach of strongly urging Tennesseans to stay at home was more appropriate than the mandatory lockdown we are dealing with now. Roberts has warned from the beginning that “there are people who have built their models on some very incomplete assumptions and they don’t have good denominators. When you look at the data.”
Coronavirus Likely Responsible for Fewer Deaths Than Reported
Like Italy, but unlike most other countries, the U.S. counts every deceased patient with the Wuhan-Coronavirus as a Covid-19 death, regardless of the actual cause of death. Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus task force response coordinator, confirmed on Tuesday that the U.S. will continue to err on the side of over-inclusion when counting Covid-19 deaths, despite most countries doing the opposite.

Senator Rand Paul Recovered from Wuhan-Coronavirus and is Volunteering at a Hospital
Despite having suffered from an assault in 2017, which caused significant damage to his lungs, Senator Rand Paul (R – Kentucky), who was the first U.S. Senator to test positive for the Wuhan-Coronavirus, has apparently recovered from Covid-19. After testing negative twice, which means he is now among the growing number of Americans with immunity to the disease, he is now volunteering at a hospital. Inspiration for all of us.
