The United States may be at a crucial point in the coronavirus pandemic, with cases rising again and officials deciding whether to stay the course on reopening. At least 19 states have seen new cases go up in the last two weeks and six states on Tuesday reported record increases, CBS News' Manuel Bojorquez reports.
Florida reported 2,783 new cases. Texas reported 2,622, and Arizona reported a one-day jump of 2,392 new cases. Oklahoma, Oregon and Nevada also reported their highest single-day spikes in cases yet.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dismissed concerns Tuesday that reopenings are driving his state's record-breaking run. He said spikes there are due to increased testing, particularly in high-risk areas like nursing homes and farming communities.

exactly. These are the stats that matter not the total cases. As long as the health care system is not overwhelmed there is no reason not to open fully
Today: One death for every 200 confirmed cases. BFD!
Just saw some pics....no one...but no one is wearing a mask.
More testing - more cases found. Look at the death numbers - that’s the real story.
Yeah. Between the protests and the fires covid’s totally below the fold now in AZ. So people have moved on. But Tucson’s mayor is pissing and moaning that our governor should make them mandatory so it’s all good. Funny how she forgot that she shutdown the city before he shutdown the state. So in theory...
Give the positives a regime of HCQ+zinc and be done with it. Geez, how much crazier can they make it?
>>>And tell me how many empty hospital and ICU beds there are
On Tuesday, there were 678 COVID-19 patients across the state’s hospitals, 73 of whom were admitted on Tuesday, Williamson said, the largest number of admissions in a single day since the pandemic began.
Of the state’s 1,600 available ICU beds, on Tuesday morning, just 268 were available, the lowest since the COVID-19 crisis began.
“This morning we theoretically had three ICU beds in the Montgomery region,” Williamson said. The Tuscaloosa area had a single ICU bed available Tuesday morning.
The 7-day rolling average of the percent of tests that are positive statewide in Alabama doubled within the last two weeks, from 7 percent to nearly 14 percent.
Sounds like plenty of beds open. The reason there are fewer beds than earlier is hospitals have resumed elective cases. Nearly 300 ICU beds open in a state with the population of Alabama should be enough but their local officials are keeping an eye on it I’m sure
When did they recover? How many left the hospital? How many double-counted tests? How many lite cases? How many asymptomatic cases?
Vulnerable? Wear your mask, stay outside in the sun, breeze and over 40% humidity and isolate inside w/o airconditioning.
Otherwise, carry on and we will reach immunity faster.
They were talking about it on our local news, I will check and see if they posted a story on it.
Horowitz: The new panic lie: Increased coronavirus hospitalizations and cases in the southwest
All of a sudden he shows up with a mask....and says everyone should wear one.
Then he tells us about his running....and that he only wear it if someone is close by. So you folks who are walking around with a face mask when no one is around....take off the damn mask and breathe in the fresh air.
And they’re all testing more than ever too.
Yawn. Unfortunately folks around me hear this hyped on the news and get even more virus paranoia.
“On April 6, the state started reporting the number of patients with positive tests who are hospitalized. It was 1,153 that day and 2,518 on June 16. This data does not account for people who are hospitalized but have not gotten a positive test”
CBS desperately wants another shut down to usher in quid pro quo Joe.
The number of "patients with positive tests who are hospitalized" is NOT the same thing a people who come to hospitals because they have COVID systems and who are then hospitalized.
Do you understand the difference?
Did you read the article that I linked?
Read the entire article.
Fine, then don’t treat them. If someone comes into the hospital with an ingrown toe nail but tests positive for CV then kick them out. That’s what your advocating. You’d make a great campaign manager for Biden.
Ditto.
No, not at all.
I'm saying there is no second wave increase in COVID. The increase is from people who are hospitalized for other reasons, who also happen to have asymptomatic COVID.
And the long, detailed article I linked you too, documents that.
I'm not saying kick people out of the hospital, and your Biden remark has to be one of the dumbest remarks I've seen.
