Corona Virus Peak Watch Thread

Houston is surging, Mayor Turner and Judge Hildago are frustrated because their easing back into opening was foiled by Abbott. Now their hands are tied. Hospitals are readying for more cases.

Turner and Hildago should be relieved that Abbott has taken all the heat when this goes bad.
 
The number of Active Cases just exceeded the slight peak we had on May 30th.

It did hit a peak on May 30th, but it never dropped significantly afterwards.

Now we are once again setting new highs.
 
Hello Phantasmal,

Lotta the new cases are younger people.
 
Hello Dutch Uncle,

Anything is possible, but his track record killed him with the Democrats. He'd have done better running as a Republican. :cool:

Doubt that. Republicans don't want a split ticket. It's all or nothing with them. Sad what they committed to. Big mistake gonna bite em in the end. Tragic how bad he had to mess up to fall out of favor.
 
They just saved a young Corona patients life with a double lung transplant. No this is not like the standard flu. Trump is opening up and starting rallies because he believes it will help his election chances. He spends human lives like currency. He is trying to buy a good November result with them. Let's have a rally full of old people. Let's jam them in. Some will get sick and die. But that will not be in front of the cameras.

Hello Nordberg,

Wow. Amazing save.

Obviously that can't be done for most people.

We have to do everything in our power to fight this pandemic.

Pretending it is no problem is not the answer.

Wow. Lotta New Cases again yesterday. 25K. (That darn testing!)

Still over 16K Serious or Critical patients. (Testing has nothing to do with this.)

Active Cases continue to rise.

We opened up too soon, and we have far too many people following the poor example of the president and not wearing face masks or keeping social distance.
 
Dr Fauci said we are still in the first wave.

The slight peak we say on May 30th was not followed by any significant relative drop in the overall number of Active Cases.

There was a slight drop, but the numbers leveled off and began to rise once again, weeks after restrictions were eased in much of the country, even as numbers rose to new highs in over 20 States.

We are still looking for that first true peak in the first wave of Coronavirus.

Meanwhile, China is beginning to see a second wave. New restrictions have been enacted in Bejing as new infections are on the rise there.

There are over 8 million cases worldwide and over 450,000 deaths.

How are we doing on our search for the first significant peak?

Looks like we are having a surge because we opened up everything too soon, and too many people are blowing off the CDC guidelines.

The latest tally will be presented soon...

We've got a surge going on.

We opened up too soon and too many are blowing off the CDC guidelines.

The Three W's:

Wear a mask.

Wash your hands.

Watch your distance.

Is there anyone who disputes we opened too soon? The numbers are proof. Trump totally fucked Corona up. We have almost 1/3rd for the cases on the planet. How can that be a success?
 
Texas had the most New Cases yesterday with nearly 5000 cases in one day, setting a new record. Texas Republican Gov Abbot said most of the New Cases are people under 30. He said bars are the problem. Texas opened up with phase 3 on June 3rd with bars at 50% and restaurants at 75% capacity.

Florida had over 3800 New Cases yesterday, another record. Florida's Republican Gov DeSantis said there is nothing tying this increase to the decision to open up the economy.
