The Coronavirus / COVID-19 Thread (Keep all related posts here)
"HOUSTON — A coronavirus resurgence is wiping out two months of progress in the U.S. and sending infections to dire new levels across the South and West, with hospital administrators and health experts warning Wednesday that politicians and a tired-of-being-cooped-up public are letting a disaster unfold.
The U.S. recorded a one-day total of 34,700 new confirmed COVID-19 cases, the highest level since late April, when the number peaked at 36,400, according to a count kept by Johns Hopkins University.
While newly confirmed infections have been declining steadily in early hot spots such as New York and New Jersey, several other states set single-day records this week, including Arizona, California, Mississippi, Nevada, Texas and Oklahoma. Some of them also broke hospitalization records, as did North Carolina and South Carolina.
“People got complacent,” said Dr. Marc Boom, CEO of the Houston Methodist hospital system. “And it’s coming back and biting us, quite frankly.”
Stocks slid on Wall Street as the news dampened hopes for a quick economic turnaround. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.71% lost over 700 points for a drop of 2.7%. The broader S&P 500 SPX, -2.58% fell 2.6%.
The virus has been blamed for over 120,000 U.S. deaths — the highest toll in the world — and more than 2.3 million confirmed infections nationwide. On Wednesday, the widely cited University of Washington computer model of the outbreak projected nearly 180,000 deaths by Oct. 1.
California reported over 7,100 new cases, and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would withhold pandemic-related funding from local governments that brush off state requirements on masks and other anti-virus measures. Florida’s single-day count surged to 5,500, a 25% jump from the record set last week.
In Texas, which began lifting its shutdowns on May 1, hospitalizations have doubled and new cases have tripled in two weeks. Gov. Greg Abbott told KFDA-TV the state is facing a “massive outbreak” and might need new local restrictions to preserve hospital space.
The Houston area’s intensive care units are nearly full, and two public hospitals are running at capacity, Mayor Sylvester Turner said.
Houston Methodist’s Boom said Texans need to “behave perfectly and work together perfectly” to slow the infection rate. "

You can not close everything down for ever, what has been a waste is all the sacrifice people made staying at home and now not respecting social distancing, face masks and gloves when out of the home. It will only get worse and we have idiots to blame.
Gov. Newsom has ordered LA County bars closed, more closures are bound to take place with the exponential increase in covid-19 cases.
Just amazing how this was not eradicated after everything we endured. It is coming back and it will be worse the 2nd time round (unfortunately).
what about this increase in cases again, the Summer heat did nothing to kill the coronavirus, so what is about to take place, everything getting shut down again.
This long weekend is going to make things way worse. Look for the infection rates to sky rocket next 2 weeks.
Have a good Independence day weekend but please stay away from others as much as you can, at least 6 feet.

Is it a coincidence the Spanish flu was officially named in 1918 and the Coronavirus was named in 2019, 100 years apart?

Dummy found out the Coronavirus is no joke
""I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it's not."
Those were the final words of a 30-year-old patient who died at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, this week after attending a so-called "COVID party," according to the hospital's chief medical officer.
Dr. Jane Appleby, chief medical officer for Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children’s Hospital, said in a recorded statement that the unidentified patient told nurses about the party, which she said is hosted by someone diagnosed with coronavirus.

"The thought is people get together to see if the virus is real and if anyone gets infected," Appleby said.
Appleby said she shared the story not to scare people, but to make sure they understand that the virus can affect anyone.
