Coronavirus Infections Are On The Rise In 21 U.S. States, With Cases Spiking In California, Arizona And North Carolina

KEY FACTS

21 states have had recent growth in newly reported cases over the past 14 days, per the Times statistics, though it's important to note that the increase is due in part to some states recently ramping up their testing capacity.

California reported its highest one-day increase in cases this past Friday, with 3,593 new cases confirmed.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services reported the number of individuals hospitalized for Covid-19 reached a record high of 717 on Friday and was at 708 on Saturday.

In Arkansas, total coronavirus cases have increased by nearly 30% over just the past week.

The number of Covid-19 diagnoses in Arkansas increased by 450 on Saturday, the state's most significant one-day jump.

In Arizona, daily case counts have risen steadily since the end of May, with the highest single-day increase coming on June 5.

Per Newsweek, the former director of Arizona's health department, Will Humble, told Fox 10 Phoenix that the state's uptick in virus transmission was "predictable" because the state's stay-at-home order expired two weeks earlier.

Oregon health officials reported the state's highest single-day increase in Covid-19 cases on Sunday.

In addition to the states listed above, Utah, Kentucky, Texas, Michigan, Florida, Tennessee, Washington, South Carolina, Missouri, New Mexico, Idaho, Vermont, Hawaii, Alaska and Montana have all confirmed rising case counts over the past seven days. The overall numbers nationwide look relatively promising, as America's overall daily count of new coronavirus cases has declined steadily in recent weeks and the number of new deaths has continued to curve downward, but that is primarily due to progress in previous hot spots such as Illinois, New Jersey and New York.

I did not post the article in its entirety. Only what I felt was pertinent information.

I think there are too many people trying their very best to dismiss news that strongly indicates the second wave is already in progress.

See, this was mentioned a couple times early on, and after thinking about it for a while I agree with it.

Looking at CVD numbers as a nationwide whole/total is kinda pointless. States all have a different situation going on, with different governors that are approaching this differently. I think the highest level you can look at it without the numbers telling a misleading story is the state level.

Have you followed the continued campaign to harass this medical professional? This is what led to her resignation.

but, for the love of all that is Good in this world... DON'T be the person wearing a mask while driving alone in your car!

Don't Be That Person.

Columbiana county = lots of folks wearing masks.

Mahoning county = lots of selfish folks not wearing masks.

Be slow to judge. I may see multiple patients in multiple nursing facilities on some days. There are times where my patients are only a couple of miles apart. In these cases I often drive with my mask on. You see, every time I have to touch my mask only places me at greater risk. It also requires multiple applications of hand sanitizer. Once before touching it. Once after. As I’m sure you’re aware, hand sanitizer is not easily come by. Even for a hospice company. Currently I have a bottle of alcohol sanitizer provided by a local distillery. It’s a rare-ish commodity. One which I try to be conscious of its’ use. If I can mitigate frequency in which I touch my mask, and stretch out my supply of hand sanitizer by wearing it for 5-10 minutes in the car, I do.

Consider this when you see someone driving with a mask on. Maybe they aren’t the ‘weirdo’ you perceive them to be. Maybe they just saw your neighbor’s mother or grandmother, and are off to do the same for another family.
Just sayin.

The thing is, along with the upsurge in actual cases rising, hospital rates and ICU rates are increasing in some of these states. Within time these stats seem to be correlating.

I will keep this in mind from now on, but it won't stop me from judging them as the sort that lays in bed alone with a condom on for safety.

Yes and no.
I do alot of shopping in Salem.
Giant Eagle = almost 100% masked
Walmart = no where near that number.(I had to go there to pick up my mom's Rx)
Giant Eagle in Canfield = 100% masked
Giant Eagle in A-town = better than 50%
I have many observations and a few determinations about who is and who isn't wearing a mask.But there is no way I can voice them without sounding like a bigot.
Fat white people's lives should also matter.

I have been getting ALL of my groceries in Salem. Giant Eagled masked. Marcs masked, Wal Mart Masked. 100 percent hell no, but 75 to 80 percent hell yes. Austintown/Youngstown looks more like 30 percent wearing masks. Being a fat/old/ white guy I agree with you. You are not now nore have you ever been a bigot. But IMO fat white folks are the worst offenders. Especially those who are older.

Menards here in town requires a mask. If you don't have one you can buy one at the door. We need more of this right now regardless of who is angers.

the people who most likely were the most vulnerable were the ones not wearing masks.

Thin the Herd.
