Turning the corner.
The US just hit the most hospitalizations so far at 65k+. Still no federal action.
The world views our situation as a humanitarian disaster, and it is only getting worse. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/12/health/us-coronavirus-thursday/index.html
Interesting NYTimes article about the 'hardest hit' areas by different measures. It mentions NYC, LA County, TX, and several places in the upper Midwest.What Places Are Hardest Hit by the Coronavirus? It Depends on the Measurehttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/12/us/coronavirus-crisis-united-states.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=HomepageWisconsin also made the list as 'The state that has unraveled the fastest.'The pandemic has worsened across the country over the last two months, but perhaps nowhere as quickly as in Wisconsin.At the beginning of September, Wisconsin was averaging about 700 cases a day. By this week, it was averaging more than 6,000. Hospitals are packed and more than 300 deaths were reported in the state over the last week, a record. Last week, Wisconsin’s chief health officer quit, noting the enormous pressure on public health officials during the pandemic.“It took us seven and a half months to get to 100,000 cases,” Gov. Tony Evers said at a news conference on Tuesday evening, after issuing an executive order advising residents to stay home. “But it only took 36 days to add another 100,000. The way things are going, it will take us only 20 days to reach another 100,000.”Testing centers are overwhelmed, raising the risk of further spread as people who might otherwise learn they are infected delay isolating themselves.“They told us, ‘Yeah, you should get tested, but we’re out of tests,’” said Tim Cigelske, 39, of Whitefish Bay, of a local testing site he called when his family grew sick. It required multiple phone calls, virtual doctor visits and four trips to testing sites over three days to get himself, his wife and their two children tested, Mr. Cigelske said.All were positive for the virus.---------------So much 'winning.'
One of the hardest hit areas currently, that doesn't seem to get a lot of press, is El Paso. As we speak, over 3% of the total population is currently infected. Morgues in parking lots. Medical staff essentially working around the clock, and the situation is only getting worse. Local government tried to instill a shutdown, only to have it blocked by the Governor.
Corey Lewandowski positive
It’s just amazing that the White House has had two super-spreader events. Not surprising but amazing nonetheless.

Mind-boggling - actually, just plain stupid - that they would start cruises again, just when we are seeing community spread like we have never seen before. Wtf were they thinking?!?
