Great visuals and rankings to show where the latest increases/hot spots are in the USA

This stay at home policies really did help to bring down the spread of the virus.



Some hotspots still -- what a mess in Wisconsin.

Meaningless. People need to stop looking at these case counts. They are rising because tests are increasing rapidly almost everywhere. Some tests take a day, others a week. Some are PCR, some are serology. Focus on hospitalizations which are independent of the flaky test data.

It is about AZ but applies to all states. The media knows this but keeps putting out misleading information that makes things look worse than they are.

Now that the Supreme Court of WI has tossed out all the stay at home, though, the carp may hit the fan.

Trump is now thinking that we need to change the way deaths are counted because he thinks people falling down the stairs shouldn't be counted in Covid-19 deaths. No crap Sherlock, and they aren't. Looks like the heat is up and Trump is fearing that enough Americans are gonna look at deaths as a failure in this country. https://www.thedailybeast.com/team-t...d-death-counts

But here is the thing, the numbers technically were needed to reopen under the Trump plans which are now thrown out of the window since Trump is worrying about the economy, not human lives. He is arguably making it worse for another lockdown for a second wave whether it is reopening or the whole fall/winter spike that will hit about the time of the election.

So how long are we supposed to stay in lockdown?

What’s the Endgame here?

Until it is safe to reopen. I can't truly give a timetable. We are at the virus' mercy

What does that even mean?

We were to stay closed until the curve flattened. That has happened. It's now safe to reopen.

If YOU don't feel safe, stay home.
