More than 800,000 new cases were reported across the country last month, led by Florida, Arizona, Texas and California — bringing the nation’s officially reported total to just over 2.6 million, according to data compiled by The Washington Post.

We had 5 cases at work the month of June. Think it's around 9 total so far out of 300+ people since this all started in March so not too surprising since we work in the public. It has been mandatory to wear mask for awhile now and starting last week all customers coming in have to have a mask.

I’ve read that the CDC is combining the virus tests with the test results that show if you’ve HAD the virus! Therefore, bringing the numbers much higher than they are. They are also including Common Cold in the numbers.

The most interesting part of the covid increase is the still reducing death rate.

The most interesting part of the covid increase is the still reducing death rate.

People don't die immediately when they get COVID-19. Death rate lags infection rate by a week to two weeks.

Besides, it doesn't look to me like the death rate is still falling:

Always glad to have your numbers available DH! The death rate I read was in Florida...but that was well over a week ago.

The number of cases are irrelevant. Everyone will eventually be infected. What matters is the number of serious and critical cases at any given time that overwhelms medical care capabilities. The end result that really matters is how many die.

I read something about Houston ICU getting overwhelmed, but they are trying to keep it quiet.

Here is an article about it:

hmm. . . will have to check with my BIL. He is a surgical nurse there but I am sure he has heard thru the grapevine. They tend to be a close net.

I’ve read there are more than a few illegals who are sick with China flu coming across and going straight for the hospitals.

 

[Dani]

Sis sent me ICU was only at 53 %. Sent her back message about what her husband has heard?

 

[jontte]

grapevine tends to be in these matters better for info than the official one, atleast if someone is working in the field...

 

[Dani]

The med center has been cutting hours because they have more staff than needed.

I've lived on the Mexican border my whole life. That has been going on for decades. BP just caught 6 illegals in my neighborhood three days ago. No idea if they are infected but "at this point what difference does it make?".
Need the wall constructed and manned YESTERDAY.

Is he working in a cancer hospital or a general hospital facility?

Right now I believe he is at a general hospital. He doesn't seem to stay at one very long and bounced around.
