Chris Martenson just posted a vid on youtube about the CV case spikes in some states:
Covid-19 On The Rise In 20+ States

Overall, and number wise, I'm not seeing a significant jump in cases according to WOM data, as you can see in the chart I previously posted.
In Texas, hospitalizations have mostly been increasing since June 1. On Thursday, the state reported 2,008 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, slightly down from the record high of 2,153 reported on Wednesday.
On Thursday, state health officials reported 81,583 positive cases, an increase of 1,826 from the prior day. That was down from the single-day state record of more than 2,500 new cases set on Wednesday. Officials reported 35 new deaths on Thursday, bringing the state’s total to 1,920.
Harris County has the most cases in the state, with 15,552.
Texas has had one of the fastest re-openings of its economy and additional restrictions were set to be lifted on Friday.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.
Not sure where Chris is getting his data. California is seeing a small increase in new cases, but certainly not a “spike”, and we are not seeing any corresponding increase in hospitalizations. We are opening up pretty rapidly considering Newsom was so against it before. I had my first indoor meal today at a country club before a round of golf. The place was pretty empty, with maybe 15 people in a room with probably 200 capacity. Tomorrow, indoor movie theaters can open at 25% capacity, but all of the big chains are saying they are not ready yet. No surprise there. I know I won’t be going to a theater for quite a while. Gyms, bowling alleys and other businesses are also opening. I’ve even seen a couple NEW restaurants opening. Talk about optimism. Hopefully people will be responsible at the individual level, as I do think that will make a lot of difference.
