Some of you are very smart! Looks like Houston TX could be the next hot spot. It's not because we are doing more testing. Look at the hospitalization rates. So it mostly affects mouth breathers. Another bad sign for Trump country.
June 24, 20206 yr Are the morons here still holding up Sweden as a great example? The rest of Scandinavia has just blocked travel to Sweden. Kind of like the world plans to do the US because our response is so pathetic. The anti-science twinks are running around spreading disease willy nilly. Looking real tough. yep.
June 24, 20206 yr Trump has now doubled down on trying to stop or slow down testing. "I never kid" he said (after the white house said he was kidding). If testing helps prevent people from spreading this and people dying and Trump is trying to stop that, the blood is on his hands.
June 24, 20206 yr https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/exclusive-feds-about-to-bail-on-supporting-covid-testing-sites-in-texas-and-other-states The Trump administration is ending funding and support for local COVID-19 testing sites around the country this month, as cases and hospitalizations are skyrocketing in many states. The federal government will stop providing money and support for 13 sites across five states which were originally set up in the first months of the pandemic to speed up testing at the local level.
June 24, 20206 yr he needs the perception that cases are going up (and they are) to be changed. it doesn't matter if people are getting COVID-19 and dying from it, only messaging matters. because November. I find it interesting that despite the fact that to this point deaths in Florida and elsewhere are dropping, there isn't a lot of messaging on this. my read is that there's an expectation in Florida and elsewhere that the number of COVID-19 related deaths is going to start going up soon, as it lags behind the case rate typically. I don't know if that will actually happen, given that the median age for cases is plummeting, but I think it's a risk DeSantis and others aren't willing to take right now.

Disgusting and criminal. The trumpbots will spin this (after they get the talking points from OAN and Fox of course) but this is nothing more than sacrificing American lives for Trump's perceived political gain. Not only does he need to be defeated, he should be in an orange jumpsuit.
June 24, 20206 yr Florida exploded overnight again with 5,500 new cases. My county also had a 17 year old death from COVID
June 24, 20206 yr Yesterday was the 3rd highest amount of cases reported in the USA to date. 75 shy of being #2

I'm sure the Trumpbots would be concerned about the President putting American lives at risk for personal gain but they're distracted by more important things at the moment. Did you hear, a NASCAR driver may or may not have lied about a noose in his garage? That's big news!

They asked this guy in Az yesterday, (he had to be at least 80) if he was concerned about catching covid at Trump's rally and his first response was "What about the protesters? Shouldn't they be concerned!?". I don't wish this on anyone (well maybe Trump) but watching them packed shoulder to shoulder screaming and spreading droplets all over each other sure looks like a Darwin award winner.

I like how they see no problem with Trump (who they worship and who's putting them directly at risk) doing the same thing as the protestors (who they think are thugs and who they aren't getting anywhere near).

Probably a good idea, especially for NY. They can't F around up there, considering how piled on top of each other they are, and most people down here aren't wearing masks.
