I'm not as concerned with infections, AKA positive tests, as I am hospitalizations. Unless hospitalizations go up, the increase is likely just a function of more tests.

I-TEAM: MCG study will track how COVID-19 affects your BRAIN
AUGUSTA, GA (WRDW/WAGT) — Doctors at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University worry the damage done by COVID-19 could affect patients even after they’ve recovered from the virus.
Some of the breathing problems may be neurogenic and from infection of the neurons in the brainstem that control your breathing,” Dr. David Hess said. “That’s what concerns us.”
In other words, the virus attacks the part of your brain that controls breathing. It could explain what happened to the mayor of Grovetown. Gary Jones was hospitalized after he couldn’t catch his breath. Yet, he still seemed to get enough air.
Tonight on the San Antonio news, they said the USDA awarded a 39 million dollar contract to an event planning business, Create-a-Date, in the city to deliver 750,000 meals.
Number of meals delivered or provided? Zero. Why would they give 39 million to a wedding planner with no experience distributing meals?
“Let them eat (wedding) cake.”
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say someone knows someone...
