These nothingburgers leave me feeling empty and deceived.
Keeping openin ‘er up!
Those hospitalization numbers have been revised for a number of days now. I don't trust them to be complete and accurate initially. Remember the May 23 numbers that dropped to 367? They are now revised to 432.
And to the anonymous poster last week who linked to a March Fox News video on WHO recommendations for masks, guess what happened today. WHO is now recommending masks for all people in public places in areas where COVID is community spreading and social distancing can't be guaranteed. Going to come to the side of reason now, or was it just cherrypicking stories that fit with your beliefs?
Friday numbers. 56 states and territories. 550k Tests. First time over half million. 28k Positive. Big question is whether the number of total tests will continue to go up.
"Big question is whether the number of total tests will continue to go up."
As long as the Feds are reimbursing for them - you betcha'. Mississippi LOVES that easy federal $$$$$ that they never come looking for...until recently. And hell, the dang State Auditor doesn't even trust the local Feds to report such things.
We’ve made the big time. The Wall Street Journal has an article about how uncontrolled community spread has pushed the Wayne County hospital to the brink. Apparently people are too stupid to take basic precautions as it is thought to be spreading at parties and gatherings.
“After the governor began the first phase, a lot of our community took Mother’s Day, it appears, and went to visit moms and grandmothers, and we saw our numbers really began to increase,” said Angela Atchison, head of Wayne County’s emergency management services.
Keep up the good work. Maybe the spike of secondary infections after Memorial Day that should show up by the end of June will push us into the top ten most infectious states.
