Webb7 438 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The US is heading in the wrong direction with Covid-19 numbers, and it's doing so with astonishing speed. Just after 1,000 people died in a single day, the country is about to reach 4 million Covid-19 cases. To put that in perspective, the first reported case came on January 21. After 99 days, 1 million Americans became infected. It took just 43 days after that to reach 2 million cases. And 28 days later, on July 8, the US reached 3 million cases. The 4 millionth case could come just two weeks after that. As of Wednesday morning, more than 3.9 million people had been infected across the US, and more than 142,000 have died, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Some states are reporting record-breaking numbers of new cases. More governors are requiring masks, and dozens of hospitals are out of ICU beds. At least 27 states have either halted or rolled back their reopenings to try to get a grip on the virus. Florida saw an average rate of 35 positive results per 1,000 tests during the month of May. But in June, that number nearly tripled to 105. So far in July, the average rate of test positivity has been 187 out of 1,000. But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the state is on the "right course" in the fight against the virus. "I think we will continue to see improvements," the governor said Tuesday. "We just have to, particularly Floridians, have to continue doing the basic things." Over the weekend, nearly 50 Florida hospitals said they were out of ICU beds. Statewide, the ICU bed availability had dwindled to 15.98% on Tuesday, down from about 18.1% on Monday. And new data from the CDC also show infections could be more than 10 times higher than the number of reported cases in some parts of the US. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/22/health/us-coronavirus-wednesday/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 We have a President who pushed Covid as a hoax. States desperately need federal support and aren’t getting it. Some states have governors that make conditions worse by opening up businesses that shouldn’t have been allowed to reopen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelusionalGaga 29,717 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Trump, duh. Everything he did in the past 3 years is bad but this year is just the worst case scenario. He is objectively the least qualified person to be responsible for handling a pandemic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyaway 15,350 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 No surprises: The President is a total incompetent, a liar and a mediocre celebrity Many people have decided to stop using common sense, or they don't have one Everything is political now, even health and safety. There's even a fight for the "right to not use the masks" Education seems to have left the conversation in the country. It's the most capitalistic country in the world. By that logic, money matters more than lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being the richest country ever and still having mass poverty and homelessness. That's why they're rich tho, it's how capitalism work. You can't be a billionaire if you don't have thousands of people working for you for crumbs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnglerfishbraBENUS 5,734 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 to think we could have been so on top of this with a competent LEADER...
