Newsom threatening to shut the state down again if cases keep rising.

Really, he's using that as the threat to get people to take masks/distancing seriously. I think it's an empty threat because >half the counties in this state will give him the middle finger and not enforce it if he tries to shut it down again.

He shouldn't have to do that. It's a given that it helps.

Texas, too.

20% positive testing rates in some parts of Texas.  Houston hospitals are at capacity already.

AZ, CA, GA (new), LA (new), NC, SC, AL, TN, MS, AR are ALL showing signs of exponential growth again.

It's just a matter of time before the above states infect the northeast again.

This is not good at all.

I can only speak To where I am out in Florida and in the small circle I’m traveling. The hundred or so people who work for me and myself are still working from home. The office is still pretty much empty. Everywhere I go just about everybody has a mascon and there is distancing taking place.

From what I’m reading and what I can gather many of the new infected are in Miami Dade and are of a lot younger age than the prior trend was showing. Not sure what that means but it seems to point towards less social distancing by the younger crowd?

Well, they were averaging under 4% just 2 weeks ago.

There also MIGHT be correlation to people not being outside, as it's gotten hotter and more humid. So if they hang out inside, where the virus spreads easier, bingo.

• As of Tuesday night, 2,346,937 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the United States (an increase of 34,940 from yesterday) and 121,224 deaths have been attributed to the virus (an increase of 822 from yesterday), according to the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 Dashboard, leading to a mortality rate among confirmed cases of 5.2 percent (the true mortality rate is likely much lower, between 0.4 percent and 1.4 percent, but it’s impossible to determine precisely due to incomplete testing regimens). Of 28,065,065 coronavirus tests conducted in the United States (511,484 conducted since yesterday), 8.4 percent have come back positive.

• European Union officials are considering imposing a travel ban against Americans, per the New York Times, citing the United States’ coronavirus strategy shortcomings as a major public health threat to the region.
• Dr. Anthony Fauci told a House committee on Tuesday that “it will be when and not if” there will be a coronavirus vaccine, adding that he remains “cautiously optimistic” that several will be available by the end of 2020. Fauci added that, to the best of his knowledge, neither he nor his colleagues “have ever been told to slow down on testing.”
