If you are referring to non-legally participating migrant guest workers, then okay. |

After Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed Tuesday that contact tracing revealed hundreds of cases of COVID-19 at a Central Florida airport, airport officials are telling WESH 2 News a different story. A representative with Orlando International Airport said 500 workers at OIA were tested last week out of an abundance of caution and only two of those came back positive. |

The governor of Texas basically came out the last couple days and blamed young people, mostly people under 30, saying they aren't taking it seriously, bar-hopping, etc, etc.

WTF does that have to do with anything? Let me add this to the list of things:
To get Covid: Go to bar (unless you don't vote) Go to restaurant (unless you don't vote) Go to haircut Go to funeral Go to school Go to pool Go to baseball game Go to football game Go to basketball game Go to political rally To avoid Covid: Go to Home Depot Go to Wal-Mart Go to grocery store Go to pharmacy Go to protest and riot (rioting is key) Don't vote |

Nursing homes and other senior-care facilities have started to allow more visits after a monthslong lockdown to protect vulnerable residents from coronavirus infections, even as the pandemic’s death toll tied to such places surpasses 50,000. A Wall Street Journal tally of state data compiling fatalities from Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus, underscores the virus’s heavy cost to those living in long-term-care facilities. Deaths among senior-care center staff and residents appear to represent at least 40% of the overall count of more than 116,000 U.S. fatalities related to Covid-19 as compiled by Johns Hopkins University. |

New Beijing outbreak raises virus fears for rest of world
https://apnews.com/54374ff841dfd84323a1fb86d1e93180 BEIJING (AP) — China raised its emergency warning to its second-highest level and canceled more than 60% of the flights to Beijing on Wednesday amid a new coronavirus outbreak in the capital. It was a sharp pullback for the nation that declared victory over COVID-19 in March and a message to the rest of the world about how tenacious the virus really is. New infections spiked in India, Iran and U.S. states including Florida, Texas and Arizona as authorities struggled to balance restarting economic activity without accelerating the pandemic. European nations, which embarked on a wide-scale reopening this week, looked on with trepidation as the Americas struggled to contain the first wave of the pandemic and Asian nations like China and South Korea reported new outbreaks. Chinese officials described the situation in Beijing as “extremely grave.” “This has truly rung an alarm bell for us,” Party Secretary Cai Qi told a meeting of Beijing’s Communist Party Standing Committee. After a push that began June 14, the city expects to have tested 700,000 people by the end of the day, said Zhang Qiang, a Beijing party official. About half of them were workers from the city’s food markets, nearby residents and close contacts. The party’s Global Times said 1,255 flights to and from the capital’s two major airports were scrapped by Wednesday morning, about two-thirds of those scheduled. Since the virus emerged in China late last year and spread worldwide, there have been more than 8.1 million confirmed cases and at least 443,000 deaths, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University. Experts say the true toll is much higher, due to the many who died without being tested and other factors. |

And:
Not long after declaring itself virus-free, New Zealand saw a reemergence of the virus. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern assigned a top military leader to oversee the border quarantines after what she described as an “unacceptable failure” by health officials. Two New Zealand citizens who had returned from London to see a dying relative were allowed to leave quarantine before being tested. After the women tested positive, New Zealand began tracing their potential contacts to ensure the virus is contained. |

The number of people sickened with Covid-19 across Texas’ hospitals hit a new high Wednesday, surging about 11% in a single day.
There are 2,793 patients hospitalized with a coronavirus infection in the state, up from 2,518 patients reported Tuesday, according to updated data from the Texas Department of State Health Services. The total Wednesday marks the eighth new high in the state in less than two weeks. Texas coronavirus hospitalizations are now up more than 84% since Memorial Day as the state continues to reopen. |

Wonder if the increase in testing is allowing more mild and such cases to be found which is increasing the number of positives but allowing the death numbers to stay falling?
