The only "tangible" numbers here that cannot be over or under stated by any significant margin remains hospitalizations and deaths. The number of "new" hospitalizations has not seemed to risen dramatically in any of the states where they have seen a large number of cases (at least those states who report on this number). Florida saw a peak number of new hospitalizations back in mid-May and has yet to see that number again. Deaths have decreased nationally by a week day to week day comparison for 22 of the 24 days so far this month. That is not a fluke.
Now one thing to keep in mind is that some are now using cumulative or "active" hospitalizations as a means to show a chart with much steeper curves. This is misleading for the very reason that many people already in a hospital or long term care facility might have tested positive for Covid and will continue to be listed as being a Covid hospitalization as long as they remain hospitalized. This is why "new hospitalizations" (and not cumulative hospitalizations) are what you want to be looking at.
At the end of the day, as much as many will want to sound the alarm, until the bottom line number that everyone really cares about (deaths) start to increase in a notifiable fashion, I don't see people wanting to our government to go back to quarantine and stay at home orders.

As it starts getting bad enough, people will want to go back to better preventative measures.
Really, Math is that hard on you James.
Really?
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
DID OPENING UP FLORIDA BEGIN TOO SOON
AND GO TOO FAST?
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Florida banned alcohol consumption at its bars Friday after its daily confirmed coronavirus cases neared 9,000, a new record that is almost double the previous mark set just two days ago.
The Florida agency that governs bars announced the ban on Twitter just minutes after the Department of Health reported 8,942 new confirmed cases, topping the previous record of 5,500 set Wednesday.
State officials have attributed much of the new outbreak to young adults flocking to bars after they reopened in most of the state about a month ago, with many of them ignoring social distancing restrictions aimed at lowering the virus's spread.
More than 24,000 new cases have been reported since Saturday, more than a fifth of the 111,724 cases confirmed since March 1. The department had not updated its death total, which still stood at 3,327.
The seven-day average for positive tests dropped slightly to 13.4%, down 1 percentage point from Thursday but still triple the rate of 3.8% of June 1.
Florida's record-setting week for newly confirmed coronavirus cases got even worse with almost 9,000 reported Friday, nearly double the just-set mark and five times more than where the state record stood two weeks ago.
More than 24,000 cases have been reported since Saturday, more than a fifth of the 111,724 cases confirmed since March 1. The department had not updated its death total, which still stood at 3,327.
The seven-day average for positive tests dropped slightly to 13.4%, down 1 percentage point from Thursday but still triple the rate of 3.8% of June 1. The seven-day average for hospitalizations is also creeping up, hitting 172 on Thursday, about 70% higher than it was June 1.
James crosses fingers for a spike in Americans dying.
Since everyone (including Fauci and Birx) now believe that we have as many as ten times the actual cases that is being reported, then what's with the "up in arms" over how many "reported" cases we are seeing?
The only dumb fuck posting strings about the number of virus cases and deaths is you Lil Schitty!!!!!!1 BTW....it's just a number as you allude to constantly....As to up in arms....no one on the left is up in arms only the idiot right!!!!!
And the goat fucker again posts brave statements from the safety of his mommy's basement....when you going to goodland asshole....I understand there a quite a few sick people there who are wearing masks.....!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAA
Again, why are you asking me about Goodland, KS?
A lot of Republicans are now wishing they had managed to convince Trump to listen to Fauci and Birx and not try to play politics by opening up too soon.
Just as Fauci predicted, that made a bad situation even worse.
Economically worse for the nation, politically worse for Trump.
Serves him entirely right.
Sherman County KS , which includes the City of Goodland has 7 cases, 0 Deaths.
Math is impossible for James.
So she depends on the emotional stability of a 14 yo girl.
Thinking and rational thought about how dumb trump is again is sadly lacking from the goat fucking idiot....What rational human being can think trump is leading anything other than his fat ass and love of himself rather than the people of America????? Yep, tweeting about statues and trying to kill the ACA just as millions of ousted workers have signed up!!!!!!
I said sick people wearing masks you dumb fuck.....and thanx again for confirming where you live!!!!! No mention of virus!!!! BWAAAAAAAA!!! Another perfect troll!!!!!
Sick from what Dennys?
I don't live in Sherman County, KS.
But, you win your troll trophy.
Sick from what Dennys?
Goat fuckers and dumb ass trump fellators......!!!!!!! Gotcha again......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!
So, you trolled a fake sickness in Goodland to attempt to gain personal information about me.
Creepy behavior old man.
So 1 to 2 weeks after mass demonstrations and riots took place around 5he country, covid cases are rising. Gee who woulda thunk it.
I'm of the opinion that if there''s no vaccination around the corner then we are just trying to delay the inevitable. A prolong destruction of the economy in the name of "saving everybody" from the disease is a destructive lie.
You're not saving everybody, you're just delaying the inevitable. You are in fact prolonging the crisis.
Exactly
commonsense, yes. spot on.
