Detroit's Outbreak Is 'Off the Charts'

[Demovictory9]

Cases also have been rising rapidly in Detroit, where poverty and poor health have been problems for years. The number of infections surged to 1,381, with 31 deaths, as of noon Saturday. A Detroit doctor called the city's trajectory "even more steep than New York" and "off the charts."

3. Ah, yes, Detroit, home of Bible thumper radio host Bob Dutko..

who two weeks ago, explained to us common folks that since 80% of corona virus victims experience "only" mild to moderate symptoms, he's fully in support of his dear leader Trump, saying that corona is nor really a big deal. The media is exploiting it to make dear leader look bad, because they hate him.

There are no words to describe how creepy this is.

4. Lived in SE Michigan for the last 50 years and never heard of the guy

Doubt you could even find one person in a hundred who know who he is. The problem is that there is a high population density and people aren't following the governor's directive because they aren't going to have anyone tell them what to do, especially the government.

5. Interesting information, thanks MichMan..

I live in Oregon; Dutko is on the local Crawford Broadcasting station here, and others within that network. Something like 20 or 25 stations. His website claims that his show is "Michigan's most listened-to Christian talk". Home station is WMUZ in Detroit.

Glad to hear that his claims of popularity are BS.

He also sells crap called "Top Ten Proofs" of various bigotted claims, about abortion, LGBGT, creationism, the usual thumper propaganda.

7. Same for the South, esp. the rural areas

And there is a LOT of rural in the South.

6. Have a friend who is a mailman near there

Says people are not even trying to take this seriously. Back yard get togethers, kids running all over like its summer vacation, people congregating on the street
