COVID-19 cases are trending upwards in nearly half of all states in the U.S., according to a new analysis of Johns Hopkins University data by USA Today.

Coronavirus infections in Alaska and Arizona more than doubled in the last week, according to USA Today. Cases in South Carolina and Kansas have increased by more than 50 percent.

The number of individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 spiked by almost 30 percent over the July 4th weekend in a hard-hit Missouri area, according to USA Today’s analysis.

Do we even know 15 months later what a "case" is??

[rktman]

Have you or anyone you know ever thought of this item? BOOM! It’s a “case”. But it’ll be all over in 2, maybe 3 weeks.

[\/\/ayne]

Did they ever get a test that works?

[Cobra64]

Run for the hills! Wash your hands and don your masks!

“Do we even know 15 months later what a “case” is??”

You know, like a case of beer.

Coronavirus infections in Alaska and Arizona more than doubled in the last week,

Yeah! AZ went from one to two.

The number of individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 spiked by almost 30 percent over the July 4th weekend in a hard-hit Missouri area, according to USA Today’s analysis.

If the incubation period of COVID is 4-5 days, it's not possible that July 4th barbecues could cause an an increase in hospitalizations on July 4th.

[rktman]

OH NOES! That’s like a 100% increase. Or is it that 100% of those infected with covid are 100% infected. Fully infected?

1. How accurate are the positive tests?

2. How severe are these cases, are hospitals being burdened?

3. How many of these cases are vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated ?

[Bell Bouy II]

Tell me about deaths, cases I dont care about.

[heavy metal]

biden’s fault for opening the border and spreading thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a global pandemic...

[mykroar]

Is the curve flattened yet?

[LIConFem]

So USA Today did the “analysis”, eh?

[FreeReign]

Coronavirus infections in Alaska and Arizona more than doubled in the last week.

Worldometer, as of July 5th, shows the seven day running average for new daily cases in AZ equal to 493. For a week ago, on June 28th, Worldometer shows the seven day running average for new cases in AZ equal to 493.

The Hill is FOS.

1. How accurate are the positive tests? - Very

2. How severe are these cases, are hospitals being burdened? - Not very, no.

3. How many of these cases are vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated ? - Almost all unvaccinated.

[LostInBayport]

Cases.

Hospitalized, called in sick from work or annoyed by a case of the sniffles?

It makes a difference.

[Persevero]

Why would you say “very?”

Famously, people have taken several tests a day - like Elon Musk - and had them read both positive and negative. He had no symptoms and does not believe those that read positive were true.

came from the border, by plane, by bus,
by Xiden, except for the cutest children who were
sold or trafficked or worse.

[joshua c]

do they report any actual numbers or just percentages?
