I mean it's all relative.  On July 6 the 7 day avg US deaths was 520, as of yesterday that number is 1022.  Doubling in 23 days is really bad.  Not far from skyrocketing...
1465 each of the last two days. The new case data suggests we are still 2-3 weeks from deaths peaking. Skyrocketing seems pretty accurate.

Jared screwed this up so bad.   Didn't initially want widespread testing as it would help blue states.   So, tasked to develop a testing plan and then just... Didn't.

Jared is doing exactly what trump and the R's want. Remember, these are the same guys who voted against hurricane relief for blue states after Sandy.

Cruelty IS the point.

More positive tests on the Cardinals today, so tomorrow’s game against the Brewers has been postponed again. When are they going to learn that this is futile? They haven’t even played a single game in Miami yet and we’ve already had quite a number of games postponed due to positive cases.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/08/01/cardinals-coronavirus-outbreak/

Major League Baseball’s hopes of salvaging its 2020 season amid a pandemic took another ominous turn Saturday, when the St. Louis Cardinals received word of additional positive tests for the novel coronavirus, requiring the postponement of the entire Cardinals-Brewers weekend series in Milwaukee and deepening the level of pessimism around the sport that the season can go on.

Ugh. Even ‘recovery’ sucks with this illness.

Can people finally stop suggesting we just isolate the elderly and others with known risk factors?

Truly, it takes an effort to be this stupid.

Donald Trump claims Anthony Fauci 'wrong' about cause of Covid-19 surge
"Donald Trump launched an extraordinary attack on his own top infectious disease expert, Dr Anthony Fauci, arguing against the doctor’s claim that high rates of infection in the US stem from a less aggressive reaction to the virus in terms of economic shutdowns and stay-at-home orders.

“Wrong!” countered the president as he retweeted a video of Fauci making the point in recent congressional testimony.

Trump furiously countered: “We have more cases because we have tested far more than any other country, 60,000,000. If we tested less, there would be less cases. How did Italy, France & Spain do? Now Europe sadly has flare ups. Most of our governors worked hard & smart. We will come back STRONG!”

Let's see:
Daily Deaths (7-day moving average)
Spain: 2
Italy: 6
France: 10
United States: 1,129

Maybe Herman Cain would still be fine if only he didn't get tested.

Vigilance is obviously necessary, but I'm going to go on record as saying we will look back in 5 years on the Covid-19 virus hub bub as overblown and closer to SARs or Asian Birdflu than some global death pandemic.

Me too. But to be fair to Eng, back then many assumed CDC would be allowed (and able) to do its job like it did in previous pandemics. I certainly assumed that back in February. Then CDC messed up the initial tests, got pulled off the case ("I take no responsibility at all"), and suddenly the states were forced to deal with something they were never supposed to have to deal with. Game over.

Yikes! I won't be counting on many of these folks to be wearing masks. It helps that many of the activities are outside, there is plenty of bar activity as well.

We aren't getting past this until a vaccine is created and then I am not even sure of it then.

Can't really blame those small business owners.  Going forward or losing your business are two bad options. They are choosing the one they feel has the least negative impact.

If you’re a small business owner, it’s short term gain or certain death. Make mandates about mask usage, do what you can to encourage or enforce correct behavior with the pandemic, but vilifying people trying to make any money they can as “short term gain”, and somehow selfish creating long term pain, is ignorant as to what many business owners are going through.
