Arizona went off like a rocket.
CA +8,229 on Monday . Highest ever. Up @1800 from Monday last.
Well, the last virus wasn’t nearly as destructive as we thought. So we have something better coming.
25% of the NYC area is a lot of people. Yet, it didn’t overwhelm their healthcare system.

Musk should head CDC.
Musk didn’t respond to our tweet asking about his sources, and he doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to handicapping the pandemic. For example, in March he said the number of new cases would be “probably close to zero” by the end of April.
@18K dead in NYC so far.
Businesses:
When time is good, they don’t want government intervention and prefer to keep all profits to themselves/ leadership.
When time is bad, they want others like government, taxpayers and insurers to pay for their losses.
Rank n file is always in the losing end.

That’s not a measure of overwhelming the system. No one ever said the measures would reduce the number of COVID deaths. Flattening the curve is about spreading them out over a longer period of time.

Elon Musk should stick to his job.
This is why Elon is hopping mad again. This time he will threaten to go to Texas again??(where Covid cases are surging)
Williamson County instead of city of Austin or Travis county. Hutto is pretty ok.
Dr Fauci,
don’t talk smug. You advise no need to wear masks.
He wants to be a businessman version of Trump on Twitter.
He is also a half politician, checks the weathervane to see which direction the political wind is blowing before he speaks. No wonder he is still working at a top office at 79.
FYI,
Goldman Sachs says a national mask mandate could slash infections and save economy from a 5% hit

Isn’t there only 1 person here who’s against masks? WHO and CDC both flip flopped which doesn’t give them a ton of credibility. I still don’t get the uproar against masks. They are cheap and not much of an inconvenience. It seems like a relatively easy thing to do.
Newsome didn’t help himself with the secret contract to buy masks from China just before he mandated them.
Plenty of people are skeptical about the increase being due to re-opening. It would be ignorant to ignore the impact of protests and mixing in antibody tests results. Plus, we are testing for more people now. We should have more cases given most cases have zero symptoms. Originally, we only tested those with symptoms, so we were at best capturing 25% of people with COVID. Ignoring factors that any reasonable and unbiased scientists should consider just makes the whole thing look stupid.
To heal the economy you must beat back the virus. Anything else is just hiding head in the sand.
Italy’s lockdown was a real honest to god lockdown. The one we had in the US was a joke. Also note the 100% mask coverage in the picture.

That or in a few weeks they’ll realize there are a ton of new cases, and a shutdown only temporarily slows it. It doesn’t eliminate it. You talk like places have eradicated coronavirus the way we have with Polio. We haven’t. As soon as people start going back to work the cases will start to increase again.
