The other hope is now we actually have at least a little more knowledge about treatments that work/don't work. Which is another reason the Sweden model was dumb. |

You'd have to think it won't go fully back as most older/at-risk people aren't being blindsided this time like they were in N. Italy/NYC. |

June 12th was the day with the highest cases since May 21st. We have seen a steady rise in cases since then. That was going on 4 weeks ago. Thankfully there hasn't been much of any upward move in deaths. I understand deaths lag but in the past we would have seen some movement to the upside even if it wasn't a spike by now. And hopefully if deaths rise it is just that, a rise and not a spike. Though I doubt some will make any effort to distinguish the two. |

The Washington University model predicts that non-mask wearers will kill 35,000 Americans between now and November.

You are not utilizing the correct link, my man. It's current utilization, not daily hospitalizations.

White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said Wednesday that the Trump administration is seeing some “encouraging” trends in Arizona, Texas and Florida — three of the hotspot states seeing a surge of coronavirus cases across the sunbelt.
“The seven-day average (of coronavirus cases in Arizona) is showing some flattening and I find that encouraging. Also, equally encouraging at this point, because we know that the test positivity rate is the first thing to increase and we’re hoping that it heralds a stability in Arizona of at least reaching a plateau in their curve,” Birx said. Birx also referenced a stabilizing of emergency room visits for Covid-19-like symptoms in Arizona, calling it “an early indicator and we find that encouraging.” Similarly, in Florida, Birx said, they are starting to see “early suggestions of decreasing emergency room visits for the symptoms of Covid and some stability starting in that (test positivity rate) hoping that heralds a stability in the number of daily reported cases.” However, CNN's health team notes that they are not hearing the same when it comes to hospitalizations. “We also understand that we went through a holiday weekend and holiday weekends can impact data on both ends — underreporting through the weekend and catch up reporting on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after a holiday weekend,” she added. “Texas is in a similar situation with their (test positivity rate),” Birx said. |

People living in states with coronavirus surges should return to the White House's original "phase one" recommendations on gatherings, Dr. Deborah Birx said on Wednesday.
Citing guidelines like wearing face masks and avoiding bars and indoor events, Birx said those steps should be resumed in order to bring cases back under control. She said they are "asking the American people in those counties and in those states to not only use those face coverings, not going to bars, not going to indoor dining, but really not gathering in homes either. And decreasing those gatherings back down to our phase one recommendation, which was 10 or less." Birx touted the importance of mask-wearing and said "any kind of indoor gathering" should be avoided in places experiencing a spike in cases. |

(CNN)The worsening coronavirus pandemic hit a series of somber peaks across the United States on Tuesday, renewing fears that more hospitals could be overloaded with Covid-19 patients.
At least 56 intensive care units in Florida hospitals reached capacity on Tuesday, state officials said. Another 35 hospitals show ICU bed availability of 10% or less, according to the Agency for Health Care Administration in that state. Georgia surpassed 100,000 reported coronavirus cases, becoming the ninth state to pass the mark. In California, the number of hospitalizations across the state were at an all-time high and the virus positivity rate jumped more than 2% in Los Angeles. |
