well we get lots to get to today is president trump really in trouble what the hell is going on

with mayor de blasio we'll give you all the latest on what's opening and when and all that stuff

and um it's friday that's the good news uh joe bartlett uh you're in south carolina now

what is i keep hearing about this spike down there uh. Florida, Texas, you're on the list.

Do you know anybody that's had it or is worried about it down there?

Actually, personally, I don't know anybody that has it down here,

but I get the numbers in the county, and they are going up quite a bit,

you know, 30% or something like that.

But I will say this, the number of deaths have not gone up dramatically.

Yeah, there's a couple of things. One, people getting it now are getting a weaker version of it.

Apparently it's mutated a little weaker. That could just be temporary, but that's the case right now.

Also, the drugs, it started with hydroxychloroquine and Z-Pax,

and then there was algae, randisivir. They've found so many more drugs that the treatment

makes it much, much, much, much, much less severe when you get it. Now, the other thing is,

and the reason the hospital death rates aren't going up so much, is especially in Florida

in these other places, the people that are getting it are much, much younger.

And what they can figure out so far with all the contact tracing is that when everything opened up,

the people under 35, especially people in their 20s, went nuts, crowding into bars, jamming into people's apartments,

running around sleeping with each other, all that stuff you're not supposed to do.

And that's where the outbreak was.

So it's in that group.

The only good part of that is enough of that, and they may create some herd immunity in those younger people
