Twitter taking advantage of aggregating national stats when we always knew the southern states were on a different timeline than the coasts that got hit earlier. It'll be a few weeks before we see the uptick in deaths here so the whole time Twitter will champion the death rate that was a result of lockdown derp while complaining against masks and social distancing.
My own hospital is not full which is the case most summers....except the COVID19 unit. We almost out of beds. We'll have to take up another wing at this rate and I see no slowing down here. I'm watching Houston and Dallas fill up, but the Rio Grande Valley looks like they are going to get hit first on bed shortages. Just the right amount of population density but without huge medical infrastructure.

Sen. Cornyn Questions Whether Kids Can Catch, Spread COVID-19, Experts and Data Say Yes
When asked about the safety of Texas students and teachers returning to classrooms, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) appeared to question whether children can catch and transmit the new coronavirus, but data provided by doctors and government websites contradict his statement.

Do you know the average age of people dying in the states?
It's 80 here. I believe it was 82 in Italy.

Averages hide things. Just like our national average was going down while Texas, Cali, and Florida exploding cases.
We also dont' just care about deaths because on average a hospital overrun will result in a double the mortality...you'll kill as many other non-covid people through lack of healthcare access as covid does.
What you care about is morbidity and mortality risk by age group and healthcare capacity so the rest of us still live in a first world country with healthcare:
These numbers have been adjusted down now that we are hospitalizing less and telling more to stay home...but you can dig this out of the CDC. I'm on the go so can't do it right this second.
An easy grab is the deaths though.
Here's June. And again these in flux with case fatalities being adjusted by your age brackets and testing levels. But in general you should think of 50+ as pretty high risk and that leads to a lot of difficulty social decisions.
So you have all kinds of problems like whos going to teach the class of the low risk students:
Interesting stats.
I am getting more and more annoyed each day over here though. They have managed it very badly imo. We had a massive hospital built over here. 4k of beds. Purely for Covid. Not used. They released infected people into care homes. Wiping out tens of thousands of old folk.
And we are learning now that easily over 30k of people will die of treatable cancer because they didn't want to admit them. These are young people with their lives ahead of them. This doesn't include other preventable diseases too.
Its a numbers game and I wouldn't want to be the one making it but ultimately we are choosing some to live and some to die.
I'm not belittling the disease. I met someone I have known for about 10 years yesterday. Haven't seen him since the lock down. I actually asked him had I seen him. I couldn't believe how different he looked. He'd had the virus bad.
But at some point a decision needs to be made that if there is a second wave we can't keep living like this and we need a proper plan.

The US isn't really doing a second wave. We just stamped down the big outbreaks of NYC/NJ but the rest of us never stopped growing. We plateaued in lockdown, failed to roll out mass testing and a unified plan and have essentially squandered the 4-8 week lockdowns that existed everywhere. Locked down, plateaued, and then didn't phase a reopening that would allow response. It was just slowing, not really decreasing outside of NYC/NJ
Of course people in rural south dakota don't need the same interventions as Houston.
But you want your small towns to be out of step in over runs from your large cities so you have places to transfer these overruns. In Texas we are seeing the increase in cases in small rural and large urban at the same time which really screws up the ability to flex with case load. Small town = less cases and more distancing, slower spread by default. But also way less resources for the sick.

Over 11,000 new cases in FL today.
120 deaths for second straight day. Before yesterday we had never seen triple digits.

US occupying army now spreading the disease here.
It's a pretty incredible brand of patriotism we have down here - 'patriotism' via subservience to a foreign, occupying power. It's like being 'anti-gay' yet constantly sucking dicks...which come to think of it, happens all the time to with right-wingers too. Funny that.

Inundated Houston hospitals issue grim advisory to ambulances: Go elsewhere
Officials in Houston warn of a potential replay of what happened in New York in the spring, when thousands of people died as hospitals struggled to keep up.
