US daily cases hit 50,000. New high!

[Mike Huntertz]

The good news..sort of.....testing has now surpassed 1% of the population.
More good news....sort of.....Trump today says, "it's going to sort of just disappear, I hope".
I guess that's good news.....sort of.......

Are they counting the same people every day???

That much closer to herd immunity

[lakerboy]

Brazil had 45000 today.

[Chi_archie]

no biggie

we prob had days with 250-400k people positive walking around in April

It was very difficult to get approved for testing back then, and sometimes they ran out of Swabs

amazing job we've done at increasing awareness and testing.

That much closer to herd immunity

2.5 million cases so far. Need about 200 million for herd immunity. At 50,000/day, it'll take 11 years to herd immunity. Go ahead and join that herd. Personally I'll try to avoid a virus that will do who-knows-what damage to my lungs.

Out of who has been tested so far

Likely 10x that number with all who had it, recovered and never got a test.

Only way to get rid of the virus is if you play soccer

10 years ago we had milf hunter

now we have soyboy mike hunter

good thing we have this guy

[thomorino]

This is another example of how the trash liberal media are reporting bullshit that some people are repeating. Their is a difference between a case, which means someone is actually sick, and a positive test that you can have even though you have no symptoms. Most people have little to no symptoms despite testing positive and to say that people who test positive but have no symptoms are a case is bullshit. There are not that many cases of people actually being sick, their are a good number of positive tests.

Internal messages reveal crisis at Houston hospitals as coronavirus cases surge

It’s not COVID by itself, it’s people delaying coming to the hospital for heat issues and elective procedures, and their is still the lefty of capacity statewide stop watching cnn.

Are we Building cities in trouble any field hospitals? Hopefully they aren't needed, but better safe than sorry.

Whiny ass loser Cuomo got field hospitals and a huge ship

I think States like Texas and Arizona Deserve equal treatment as failure Gov's from NY and CA got.


maybe start in houston?

Intensive care units in a Houston hospital system reached 102 percent capacity Tuesday as hospitals face a surge in coronavirus cases.
Texas Medical Center reported data stating there were 1,350 ICU patients in its health system as of June 30, including 480 patients with COVID-19.

There are currently 6,533 COVID-19 patients in Texas hospitals, according to the state health department, more than triple the number of coronavirus patients in the hospital less than three weeks ago on June 12.

[tucks]

Death rate way down. Testing way up. Media with another dose of fear porn for the sheep. Race war cooled off...

[Booya711]

I work in hospitals all over the country....complete BS about the ICU’s everywhere. Sure there are some hospitals with some Covid patients in the ICU. Places like Phoenix with old retired people....guess what? The ICU’s were full before Covid so just quit with the nonsense already

[Booya711]

I’m March all they did was talk about how all the NY hospitals were at max capacity...all BS....now Houston is in the script.

Cuomo got all that but didn’t even use the ship or the field hospitals because it was all just for a good story....fact

Good point. Protests stopped and now more cases. Trump should order mass protesting.

[Brock Landers]

If the protests had driven an explosion in cases, experts say, the jumps would have started to become apparent within two weeks — and perhaps as early as five days. But that didn’t happen in many cities with the largest protests, including New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Washington, D.C.

[Mike Huntertz]

Where there is smoke there is fire.
Give the "embers" time to grow.
This is not looking good.

[Kermit]

We all know that the cases are going to continue to rise with the increase in testing, yet I don't see the media talking about the deaths and death rate anymore.

[Kermit]

If we tested every American right now, the number of cases would jump into the millions.

Well of course. I think we already know there is close to that who are positive and have not recovered. The 50,000/day is just new cases. The case positive from the day before will still be positive if tested tomorrow. So you need to add up the new cases from the past 2-4 weeks to know who would test positive today.

[BOA12]

trump should go to mass. Amen.
