"Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, said he believes 100,000 new cases per day in the US is imminent.
"We'll cross 100,000 infections at some point in the next couple of weeks, probably. We might do it this week, if all the states report on time," Gottlieb said.
Gottlieb, who was appointed by President Donald Trump to lead the FDA in 2017, said this surge is due to the public's behavior and lack of caution.
"The reality is that I think we're not going to start to see a slowdown in the pandemic until you see consumer behavior change, and until you see mobility data start to decline," he said.
"That's been the lesson of the past surges in the virus.""

That is what it is pointing at according to my thread tracking the virus called: Coronovirus Peak Watch Thread
We've already crossed 90K New Cases in the USA per day, and still rising. (SMH)
The world just saw a half million new cases in one day.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
I am surprised Trump has not pardoned Cos.

Italy had one of the worst outbreaks in Europe early in March and its hospitals in Lombardia were overwhelmed. Italy too is experiencing a delayed second wave and rates are approaching those in the UK. However here is an interesting article in Corriere della Sera regarding the views of one of their leading virologists Prof. Palù . His views contrast starkly with the more pessimistic views of SAGE.
Here is a translation of his key points:
“There is far too much alarmism. Of course there is a second wave, because the virus never stopped circulating even though in July cases were falling thanks to the summer weather, outside living, and high UV that kills the virus. Now the return from holidays, change of season, reopening of the economy and above all the return to schools has reversed that trend.”
“I am against any new lockdown as a citizen because it would be economic suicide, as a scientist because it penalises the education of the young who are our future, and as a doctor because it would mean that the sick especially those with cancer would not have access to be cured”. And all of this to confront an illness Covid-19, which has anyway a low lethality. We have to put a stop to this hysteria”.
“Forget the PCR cases data.
Point 1: Up to 95% of cases are asymptomatic so cannot be defined as sick.
Point 2: Certainly these people have been infected but that doesn’t mean they are contagious i.e. can infect others. They can only be contagious if they have a high viral load, but currently available tests can’t distinguish this in time to avoid these infections”.
“Only the numbers in intensive care really matter.”
Giorgio Palu, Prof of Virology & Microbiology, Padova,
It is clear that there is a balance between curbing Covid protections through lockdowns and the damage done to other health threats, the economy, mental health, children’s education and jobs. NPIs only make sense if there is a vaccine available say within 3 months. Otherwise lockdowns just delay the inevitable.

They did It works. China had a serious Corona problem in the beginning. They shut down. Yesterday, the US had more cases than China has had since December. The difference is we have Trump and rightys who can believe whatever they want.

Hello Nordberg,
China had a unified response. Anybody gets out of line and they get disappeared.
Freedom and attitudes are not a good thing when a unified response is the most effective.
