Now Ohio is spiking too. New cases tripled and hospitalizations up 25%. Deaths usually follow in 2-3 weeks.
Unlike FL, TX and AZ, Ohio was much more cautious about re-opening.
As I've been saying, it has nothing to do with re-opening early. It's going to happen to anyone that re-opens at any time in any way. If Taxas and Florida had re-opened month later they ight have seen their spike a month later but we aren't going to be able to stay locked down until a vaccine is available, if ever.

The important indicator is the infection rate running at record highs along with the hospitalizations, we are back at April 24 in terms of all numbers except deaths. Deaths are down for a number of reasons but at this point increased infections are causing the closures of the economy. We are going in the wrong direction while the world is moving forward.
That's a myth. Australia just re-locked down Melbourne, South Korea saw an uptick in new cases this past week, and Japan is considering re-imposing emergency measures after 5 straight days of rapid increases.

Look at the number of cases that triggers a lockdown in other places. Minuscule compared to what is happening here. Then they contact trace and get everyone quarantined and people actually comply. Not like here. We are failing at this.
Evidently all the states and health care experts care about new cases, you should too because that is why even republican governors are shutting down. The death rate is lower because of treatment, techniques and compromised people staying at home.
So people were dying at a greater rate in April because they weren't staying home? Where were they going? Everything was closed.

Most of those places have a tiny population compared to ours.

Hospitals changes the way they treated patients, prescription drugs, slow to intubate, putting people on their stomachs and at this point many at risk are remaining home.
We really need contact tracing in Texas. If only businesses would require their employees to be under contact tracing, it would really help.
Agree. In Florida, restaurants and bars do NOT have to disclose to the public whether there is an outbreak at the restaurant or bar. Customers that were in attendance have no way to know whether they have been exposed to Covid there and there are no contract tracers to contact them.
Some restaurants choose to contact the local press to identify an outbreak. Some restaurants choose to remain silent. Could be hundreds of people exposed that might want to be tested or isolated from others after eating at the restaurant that is associated with an outbreak of Covid positives. But people in Florida have no idea whether there was a big outbreak at a restaurant they visited. State rules allow the Covid outbreak associated with bars/restaurants to be hidden.
