The number of COVID-19 cases in the US rose by at least 10 percent in 21 states last week — while a new model predicts a “huge surge” is expected to impact more Americans as early as next month.
New infections accelerated mainly in the West, according to a CNN analysis of Johns Hopkins University data, although some Eastern outliers like North Carolina and New Jersey also saw upticks.
The states where infections are rising include Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington state, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Given the woeful inaccuracy of many tests (including contact tracing!), I have my doubts.
“””FL is not on the list. Interesting. Didn’t Desantis end the lockdown?”””
Damn right he did and about past time.
The actual trend in Alabama is SHARPLY downward with statewide daily infections at their lowest rate since May, and weekly Positive % down to 7.3%, the lowest rate during the entire scamdemic.
Not a big deal.
The only COVID surges are in Fauci's brain and pants, the former being not real and the latter being rather puny.
Slow it down is called prolonging it....effectively causing a second wave.
They are ignoring Sweden. Look at the data - single digit death rates, they consider it ‘over’.

...similar in other countries in Europe - so it seems the virus behaves strangely differently in the USA ;p
I don’t believe the data.
Same for Ohio.. It's still trending down.. Imagen that.

BFD.
Protect the vulnerable people... like we do for flu.
For everyone else this isn’t something to freak out over.
🐃💨💩
Problem is, too many 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 still believe the propagandist media.
Alaska has so few cases that adding 10 cases is a 10% increase. They’ve had 10 deaths all month.
Not interested in wearing a damn mask just to appease your paranoia!
Bla bla bla, more cases, worst ever, hotter than ever, most deaths, coldest weather, horrific flooding, storms menacing the coast, what will we do, what will we do?
Constant fear inducing slogans. Designed to make the population afraid. A fearful population is easy to control.
Like my parents told me, shake it off, your ok.
Exactly. Spike due to college kids going back to school, and much more accurate tests, with everyone being REQUIRED to be tested for this, that and the other thing.
And yet, deaths ARE NOT rising, and 99% of people are recovering, most with no symptoms or mild symptoms.
But, let’s keep us locked down, shall we? Grrrr!
LIBERATE WISCONSIN! LIBERATE AMERICA!
but did we flatten the curve on hospitalizations yet?
Hillary ! in a landslide !
We were/are sold a pig-in-a-poke. The lack of integrity in the “experts” and “scientists” is disheartening...and pathetic.
Looks to me like AL has slightly rising cases over the last few weeks, but it corresponds with an increase in tests over the same period. Hospitalizations look flat. Daily deaths continue to fall. Sure wish the governor would follow Desantis’s lead but my guess is she extends the mask mandate again.
Exactly. Note that this is not a report by a medical group (to be perhaps over generous to Johns Hopkins), but rather a “CNN analysis”. In other words, 100% fake news.
The reason there are more cases is that there is more testing going on. And testing finds cases. Indeed, testing that tests only for virus fragments finds lots of false positive cases. Deaths are a better indication, but even then nor a very good one, since many states are deliberately reporting deaths from other causes as due to the virus. Bottom line: it’s worse that the average flu, but not nearly bad enough for the systematic destruction of both the economy and civil liberties that is now ongoing.
Each city is its own region — we have gone back to school for 6 weeks in my city — no increase in numbers, no surge, hospitals emptying out.
I think what is not being taken into account is the cross productivity of other (previous) corona infections. My guess is and the literature seems to support it that by having T-cell immunity to corona genus, that it significantly reduces the amount of infection to achieve a herd
Of course this will all be moot in about 6 weeks when vaccination is available,
I think Jan 1 we will be wide open as people will choose to get vaccinated and back to life.
