COVID-19 Update



Coronavirus Live Updates: 
U.S. Suffers Record Caseload for 2nd Straight Day

With more than 40,000 new cases across the country, Florida and Texas paused their reopenings. In India, there is an effort to test all 29 million people in the capital, New Delhi.

As new cases reach another record in the U.S., some states stall on reopening.

The United States on Thursday reported more than 40,000 new coronavirus cases, a record total for the second straight day, as a nationwide sense of urgency grew and caseloads soared in Southern and Western states that were far removed from the worst early outbreaks.

In an apparent sign of that urgency, White House officials said that the coronavirus task force planned to reconvene on Friday for its first briefing in nearly two months. The last briefing took place on April 27.

Thursday’s record came as at least four states — Alabama, Alaska, Montana and Utah — reported their largest daily totals.

California, where stay-at-home orders were imposed particularly early in the pandemic, surpassed 200,000 total cases on Thursday, as its number of infections doubled over the past month. That is the second highest total for any state, though California’s per capita infection rate remains far lower than New York’s.

Most of the 121 cruise ships that entered U.S. waters after March 1 had Covid-19 cases on board, according to newly released C.D.C. data.
(This shit is really scary)




Was it all Trump's fault? No.
Did Trump fuck up the response? Yes.
Is he still fucking up the response? Yes.
