As U.S. coronavirus cases surged past 4 million on Thursday, the number of daily covid-19-related deaths surpassed 1,000 for the third consecutive day. More than 500 of the fatalities were recorded in Florida, California and Texas, where the novel coronavirus is spreading at alarming rates. “What we have right now are essentially three New Yorks with these three major states,” White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx said, a reference to the earlier epicenter of the U.S. outbreak.

If I’m right, new cases in TX and FL are about to turn around.

Yes because the CDC has just told states to stop testing people who tested positive once and did a ten-day quarantine. They've determined that you will still test positive for up to 90 days as virus remnant remains in your system, but you will no longer infect others. Up till now we've been retesting the same people over and over again, and they always test positive.

In ten days case numbers are going to fall off a cliff.

Or they are just counting everything as covid deaths. The fact remains no other disease on earth is counted as killing someone even if it didn’t . Only covid 19. You have to be joking .

L.A. county made masks mandatory back around latter part of April or beginning of May, don’t recall exact date..Re-opening did not start till around mid June in L.A county, but protestors had already taken to the streets the week after memorial day.

“Death rate will skyrocket.”

“Yup, especially when you include motorcycle deaths, drownings shootings etc.”

BB15 - In kaehurowing’s bubble, the only deaths that count are WuFlu deaths. He worships the prickly looking Covid virus. It is his idol, and he’s probably made a graven image of it and it’s surrounded by candles. It’s omnipotent. It’s more powerful than God in his mind. People who die from WuFlu are deader than those who die from cancer, accidents, etc.

I pray for TX AND FL

I agree that in Hawaii numbers have increased from very-very low to very-low. But there are barely enough statistics to show long-term trends at this time.

Keep calm and vote RED (Remove Every Democrat).

And in Texas the problem largely appears to be in border counties. Some Mexicans seeking treatment here and some locals going over and catching it there.

I don't see a second wave on her earlier charts.

I thought we "flattened the curve".

I suspect you could narrow down the issue to dirty state DOH’s and number inputers

Here in PA there are a lot of reports of people going to get tested, signing in, finding the wait too long, getting up and leaving without ever being tested and then being notified they had tested positive.

Does she look like she spends any time around people who aren't white?

“Trump could also help things by not calling covid the’plague,’ ‘silent killer’ or other such dramatic names as it does nothing except adds to the irrational fear people have of this bug!”

That’s very true. By doing that he grants power to it that it doesn’t have. He’d be smarter by going in the other direction and call it the “2020 Flu” or something. Play it down.

“... Trump can be his own worst enemy.”

Sadly, this is true often. Incentivizing healthcare companies to lie about Covid cases and/or deaths by rewarding them with thousands of dollars for each one is a BAD plan. For them, there’s a ton of money to be made by prolonging the problem. So they lie about the numbers (cha-CHING!), and people freak out about the numbers being so high — when they’re not really.

And incentivizing people to stay home and get their handouts instead of going back to work: Another very bad idea.

He wants the economy back, yet he is sabotaging that very effort.

As of July 24 California has 21 deaths per 100,000 cases. Not a high death rate.

Here in N. California, the Hispanics are leading the pack re being newly infected. Sometimes more than 6 adults from a single address. They are running over 50% of the positive tests with about 30% of the population.

S. California is being overrun by illegals with the disease flocking into our hospitals down south for free treatment.

So since everyone is wearing a mask in California, what is happening?

Apparently SF, Contra Costa and the Silicon Valley areas are seeing new black cases as well as Hispanics.

So what happened recently that brought a lot of blacks into the streets yelling/protesting and screaming? Gov Gruesome Newsome didn’t lecture those protestors.

But I am telling you I’m gonna fight it!! There is a guy here in my city who organizes conservative protests...they forced our mayor to open the parks the last time!! I’VE HAD IT!! I’ll be there along with people I’m taking with me!! Dr. Fausi can be at a baseball game literally without a mask and yet we have to stay home and watch it from TV?

as in FLA as well. DeSantis is now officially investigating this and other huge discrepancies in all of this BS.

And if the virus were as deadly as Fauci, et al., would like us to believe, every home would’ve been provided with a HazMat disposal receptacle outside the front door. Strip off the masks and the gloves, deposit in said receptacle, and then suited-up government workers drive by every day and collect the nasty offerings.

Per capita, NY still has a commanding lead. Sorry, MSM.
