“In two weeks, we can end this pandemic in the United States of America,” said an upbeat Governor Gavin Newsom at a news conference on Monday. That California is “roaring back” has become Newsom’s mantra as he announces programs funded by the state’s record budget surplus. Ironically, nowhere was that assertion more true on Monday than in the state’s skyrocketing Covid-19 numbers.
The state has stopped announcing Covid numbers on the weekends, instead issuing one big number on Monday. Today, that three-day total was 14,097, which breaks down to an average of 4,667 new cases per day. The last time daily case numbers were that high in the state was February 22 of this year during the winter surge. Test numbers are way down since February, however, which means a greater number of new cases may be going undetected. Also, case numbers are usually lower over the weekend and on Mondays because fewer people get tested on weekends. That does not bode well for the coming week.
Likewise, the state’s 7-day average test positivity hit 4.1% on Monday. According to the state dashboard, that’s up 1.1% in just the past 7 days, which is a 37% rise week-over-week. It’s also higher than the overall U.S. test positivity rate, which say at 3.77% on Monday, according to Johns Hopkins University. The CA number is especially concerning because, unlike raw case numbers, it is an average and it accounts for the rise and fall in testing. The test positivity rate, which hit a low of 0.7% on June 5

are they only reporting on cases? hospitalization? death?
Cuomo’s fault...
You can get reporting on hospitalizations and deaths, but its not the lead item in stories. It wont be unless these go up similarly .
I assume this is to assure mail in voting on Newsome’s recall effort. Have to do something to keep that Communist Traitor in position to destroy California.
The Arizona reported new cases have been over 1,000 a day for about 5 days according to AZDHS. However, “new cases” is always subject to being skewed by changes in testing patterns. Some of the other statistics I follow such as COVID cases in hospital beds and COVID ICU usage are showing an mild upturn which is concerning.
I pointed out the upsurge to our church business manager on Sunday so that he would keep an eye on it.
The death rate is still flat, but that statistic will lag hospitalizations. If all of the stats start to turn in an upward direction, then the wife and I will probably head to our out of town cabin in the woods for a while. We spent nine months there last year.
I think ever so slowly, even those who fully buy into all the COVID precautions, are realizing that this virus is going to be with us at some detectable level for a long while.
But that doesn’t mean we should bring the economy to a virtual halt, as was done last year. The majority of people are eager to resume lives as normally as is possible.
For some, that means still Masking up, but it also means they socialize more and go back to work.
They’ve been trying to get the everyone in that state to vote by mail since long before last year.

“Coincidently” the state has gotten less Republican as the mail % went up.
3 X 4,667 = 14,001.
Math, much?
Regards,
Is there a metric which tells us how many tests are taken, and the percentage?
They should report only the number of recoveries.
Regards,
One cannot help but wonder how many of these cases walked over the border and spread this around as they went...and it multiplies.
And the citizenship status of said cases?
Fear porn
That’s the test positivity rate number. Testing is way down from earlier this year but positive cases up. And this is after CDC raised threshold for positive case after Biden was inaugurated.
Key question is whether hospitalizations rise with new cases. Time will tell.
The Great Unwashed, as it was truly meant.
keep letting them flow across your border, dummies.
Yep notice this is starting all over again? People are gd idiots.
Newsolini shuts down state before recall election in 3...2.....
